Last time I posted a full writeup on my lab (The before before this) there was a lot of questions on what exactly I was running at home. So here is a full writeup on everything I am running, and how you can run it too

With this amount of servers it seems to be quite a job running and managing all of these. I am running just a few containers and struggle sometimes when there is a major version upgrade to get everything back up running.

How much time do you spend on maintenance for these machines and do you have a tool for it or is it just plain command line? 😯

Not really, I just update containers via Portainer and update the OS with a bash script. Once every few weeks I just roll through them all, only takes 30 mins at most

For automated container updates I can highly recommend watchtower. It also works with updates for specific releases/versions where you’re not using the :latest tag. It was also relatively easy to configure for my small setup of 15 containers.
