I woke up this morning to a text from my ISP, “There is an outage in your area, we are working to resolve the issue”

I laugh, this is what I live for! Almost all of my services are self hosted, I’m barely going to notice the difference!

Wrong.

When the internet went out, the power also went out for a few seconds. Four small computers host all of my services. Of those, one shutdown, and three rebooted. Of the three that ugly rebooted some services came back online, some didn’t.

30 minutes later, ISP sends out the text that service is back online.

2 hours later I’m still finding down services on my network.

Moral of the story: A UPS has moved to the top of the shopping list! Any suggestions??

    I self host stuff that I feel the need to. But TBH, you don’t really need to self host much, outside of media collections. PhotoPrism and JellyFin are about the only two I need, aside from a PiHole. Most folks would be fine with a beefy NAS.
