Continuing on my homelab summer series: I overengineered my homelab because I don't want to pay cloud providers.

I could just install k3s on my server, but I'm installing a hypervisor instead. Not only does it give me more stability and flexibility, it also lets me experiment without putting my production at risk.

Also, I don't want to end up with a massive cloud bill.

@thibaultamartin thanks for your writeup, really interesting. I would be really interested in how you do your data backups, especially sqlite/mysql or whatever database system you're using. and do you use SSO for your services?

For backups I use velero and its hooks :)

@thibaultamartin small typo:
> describe “the line 192.168.1.200 myhost.example.com must be present in the file 192.168.1.200

in the file /etc/hosts :)
