  • I host everything on a single server. This is generally advised against, because if it goes down then you lose access to all services, but it hasn’t been a problem for me yet.

    I use Unraid, with one parity drive. This provides me with comfort against single drives failures.

    I then have backup scripts which backup any data I think is important to an external HDD connected to the server. This provides me with extra comfort against single drive failures, and the comfort that if the server went down, I can relatively easily plug the external into another machine and restore some essential services.

    I also then have automatic backups of those backups to a cloud provider. This provides me with the comfort that if anything is stolen, damaged, lost in a fire, etc, I still have all my most important data available.
