Sometimes its real easy and I‘m taking a month off and nothing breaks. Then I have times where I want to add new services or optimize stuff. This can take forever. Right now I‘m building object storage behind a vpn.

i've got a RPI and other SBC, once month, make a copy of the MicroSD card, as the data is in the HD
Very little. I have enough redundancy through regular snapshots and offsite backups that I'm confident enough to let Watchtower auto-update most of my containers once a week - the exceptions being pihole and Home Assistant. Pihole gets very few updates anyway, and I tend to skip the mid-month Home Assistant updates so that's just a once a month thing to check for breaking changes before pushing the button.
Meanwhile my servers' host OSes are stable LTS distros that require very little maintenance in and of themselves.
Ultimately I like to tinker, but once I'm done tinkering I want things to just work with very little input from me.
30 docker stacks
5mins a day involving updates and checking github for release notes
15 minutes a day "acquiring" stuff for the server
@ALostInquirer@lemm.ee Not much tbh, I host email, a git server, activitypub, change detector, healthchecks, libreddit and another dozen of services in 3 different servers.
Every now and then I check manually the backups, because it is the sane thing to do. Also I try some new services on docker, but that is less and less common tbh.
That must be why it stopped working ;-)
Does 48 hours not getting a reverse proxy working count?
It’s FreeNAS and I don’t really hoast anything but the plex server… so 48 hours.
If deleting files counts 10 days a year, if not 1 day a year.
Since scrapping systemd, a hell of a lot less but it can occasionally be a bit of messing about when my dynamic ip gets reassigned.
Very little. Thanks to Docker + Watchtower I don't even have to check for updates to software. Everything is automatic.
