We need some more info. What is the server? A dedicated hypervisor? Just a Linux box that Also runs a VM?. If so what software you use to run the VM and containers?

Like I use XCP-NG on one of my servers. It is a level 1 hypervisor which you can manage with a webui.

Good call to take it out of the kernel…

Let’s hope this gives competitors more time to get things setup well.

I have always done self hosting. You don’t need the most new hardware. And if you enjoy it too it is a win win. For me I host over 60 services my self. For me and family and some friends.

Not necessarily. A bit of both I would say. My servers can run a few hours on the UPS but bellow a certain threshold it shuts my servers off safely. For most power outages that’s enough to keep things running.
