Appreciate the continued feedback.

Some of this is me learning what each site needs/requires. I dug into it further, based on your comments (had to decipher the 4 sentences to 8 paragraphs a bit but figured it out ;) ), and read through the AI-DECLARATION schema and standards. Love that and updated and added that standard to all Rasputin repositories.

Done. And appreciate the guidance.

Rasputin will let you take a bunch of random hardware (Pi, TuringPI, LattePanda, an old laptop, etc), homogenize them, and allow you to run apps like Home Assistant, Vault Warden, etc. on them. It takes a few minutes to get up and running and has built in DNS, Certificate Authority, Tailnet, Docker deployment, an observability stack, and supports a/b updates. AGPL license.

Basically, I was sick of always having to recreate that stack every time I rebuilt the home lab. Now it’s all baked in and flashes machines with a single bash script - managed through the control plane ui.

And my first post and I already forgot the disclosure: https://github.com/geekdojo/rasputin-os/blob/main/AI_DISCLOSURE.md

I might get in trouble for saying this on this channel ;) - BUT - If memory serves, Proxmox has native support for backing up to an AWS S3 bucket. I think I paid something like $3/month for it when it was setup - very minimal. While not really “self hosting”, I would argue backups are the one thing you should actually do offsite, ideally with some resiliency.
