I recognize this will vary depending on how much you self-host, so I’m curious about the range of experiences from the few self-hosted things to the many self-hosted things.
Also how might you compare it to other maintenance of your other online systems (e.g. personal computer/phone/etc.)?
I just did a big upgrade to my “home lab” (got a new switch and moved it out of my bedroom), which required some maintenance in the days after the upgrade… Running a new ethernet cable, because the old one just couldn’t heck doing gigabit, reconfiguring my router and AP, just general stuff like that.
Other than that and my DHCP/DNS VM sometimes forgetting to autostart after a power outage, pretty much 0 maintenance
