In the previous post, we talked about the importance to have a flexible homelab with Proxmox, and set it up. Long story short, I only have a single physical server but I like to experiment with new setups regularly. Proxmox is a baremetal hypervisor: a piece of software that lets me spin up Virtual Machines on top of my server, to act as mini servers.

I self-host services mostly for myself. My threat model is particular: the highest threats I face are my own incompetence and hardware failures. To mitigate the weight of my incompetence, I relied on podman containers to minimize the amount of things I could misconfigure. I also wrote ansible playbooks to deploy the containers on my VPS, thus making it easy to redeploy them elsewhere if my VPS failed.
