I know that for data storage the best bet is a NAS and RAID1 or something in that vein, but what about all the docker containers you are running, carefully configured services on your rpi, installed *arr services on your PC, etc.?

Do you have a simple way to automate backups and re-installs of these as well or are you just resigned to having to eventually reconfigure them all when the SD card fails, your OS needs a reinstall or the disk dies?

    Great summary. How does work the provision with terraform? Do you have some guide? Is possible to provision LXC/VM on proxmox with ansible instead?

      I use the bpg/proxmox module to manage proxmox with terraform.

      LXC was pretty straight forward. Use the proxmox_virtual_environment_container module and set parameters.

      Basically I have an image that is based on a cloudinit image for Ubuntu (which I create and upload to proxmox with Ansible - but it wouldn’t be hard to do manually in case of a disaster recovery). I then clone that image to create new VMs using the proxmox_virtual_environment_vm module.
