If you had to start your homelab from scratch...
  • I will just get a nice amd board with ipmi and dump a good Ryzen cpu, Any linux, be debian or any Rhel based distro or even Proxmox and tons of drives plus a few nvme raids. Pretty much about that

    Help! My wordpress site got pwned. What should I do?
  • I am making this post- because if you follow the recommended practices of having proper backups (3-2-1) rule, you can recover from these issues without breaking a sweat.

    Backups, combined with log/authentication monitoring, gives you peace of mind. Properly securing everything, and restricting network access when possible, keeps things from spreading around your network.

    Without the proper ACLs/Rules into place, the attacker could have gained access to my network, in which case, containing the damage would be extremely difficult. This is why having a proper DMZ is still crucial for any publicly exposed services.

    Amen

    How often are you shutting down your hosts?
  • I keep the stuff running 24/7, barely once a year for cleanup pretty much / upgrades or whatever. Don't mind me I still got to get a UPS for when the electricity goes down which it hasn't happen in the past years
