Your infrastructure, run like my own.
Hey, I’m Robert. I build and look after the servers, networks and backups small teams depend on, and keep them documented and monitored.

From my notes
All notes- Backups
Offsite Backup to Oracle Cloud with restic
An encrypted offsite backup on an Oracle Cloud Always Free instance, no dependencies — in place of a HyperBackup setup that needed a working DSM to restore. - Updates
The Update Routine
Keeping a Proxmox cluster, Talos Kubernetes, Synology, pfSense and Docker services updated: rolling upgrades, Renovate, and a cadence that spares your weekends. - Networks
pfSense Boot Troubleshooting
One accidental reboot, three failures: a CAM disk detection delay, a serial console that locked out the keyboard, and a NIC enumeration mismatch.
What I work with
All of it runs in my homelab first.

- ProxmoxServers
