I’ve been slowly moving along in this self-hosting journey and now have a number of services that I regularly use and depend on. Of course I’m backing things up, but I also still worry about screwing up my server and having to rollback/rebuild/fix whatever got messed up.
I’m just curious, for those of you with home labs, do you use a testing environment of some kind or do you just push whatever your working on straight to "production
- edit: grammar
Most importantly - the time and people = money.
My last job had a dev, UAT, and prod environments because they knew it was important enough to the business to pay for them.
I dont pay me anything for running my home environment - so, there is only production. And lots of backups.
