As gardenfork always says; Done is better than perfect.

While I’m morally in the opnsense camp I know pfsense has more third party packages available.
Running docker in an lxc sounds interesting, I’m a bit old school and enjoy the isolation that a true vm gives you.

I guess you need to get your own version of the swedish summer vacation.

The days are finally longer than the nights and I’m starting to see grass underneath the snow. I’m looking forward to start working in the vegetable garden and being able to have a nice cup of tea outside in the sun.

You wouldn’t want that and I wouldn’t want that. Trust me. :D

Of course it does. The guided meditative walk is essential as every step helps you leave the toxicity of digital life behind and prepares you to open yourself up to the present.

With all the rage about digital detox trips you could probably get people to grow food for you while paying you for the opportunity, if the marketing is done right.

Router: opnsense/pfsense
Switch: I guess look at something like Open vSwitch After some more reading I would go for a proprietary managed switch here. WiFi/Mesh network: OpenWrt with 802.11r setup - https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/roaming
Server: Proxmox or Debian Bookworm with KVM/Qemu
Docker/Kubernetes: Portainer CE version as a VM in Proxmox - https://github.com/portainer/portainer
Collab software: https://github.com/nextcloud/server
Server Backup: Proxmox backup server or Borg backup/Restic
Client backup: Borg backup/Restic

Most of my data are on 2x16TB HDDs running an mdraid1 and then I backup it all to a usb drive with Borg Backup.
The os.qcow2 files live on my m.2 NVMe and are manually backuped to the mdraid1 before running the borg backup.
I should automate the borg backup but currently I just do it manually a few times a month.
Would also like to have two usb drives and keep one offline in another part of the house but that’s another future project.

Interesting, gonna check out the selfhosted bookwyrm later.
I’m not much interested in sharing book reviews and the like so I will probably stick to https://calibre-ebook.com/ though.
