A home lab is great for getting hands-on experience with different technologies. It is the ideal setup for testing products or configurations in a quiet environment.
Is your Proxmox Backup Server verify slow? Mine ran for 8.5 hours every single day. Backups were fine. Restores worked. But the daily verify dragged on from morning into late afternoon. I assumed it was my gigabit network. I was wrong.
Knowing how to update Proxmox manually keeps you in control of when patches and kernel updates hit your server. This guide covers both the command-line and the web GUI approaches.
If you run a homelab or manage a few servers for a small business, Proxmox Backup Server is the solution for data protection. Without a dedicated backup server, your virtual machines live on a single node. One disk failure and you rebuild everything from scratch.
I SSH’d into my self-managed VPS last week, ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y, and immediately hit two errors. That moment made me realize I had no clear idea who’s actually responsible for keeping this server updated.
If you want an off-site backup destination you control, using Synology Hyper Backup to an rsync server can work very well. I recently set this up with an Ubuntu server and learned that the process is not quite as simple as creating a folder and testing SSH access.
Divi 5 gives you a powerful design system with presets and variables. But not everything belongs in that system. Some styles are one-offs. Some need more control than the visual builder allows. That is where Divi custom CSS comes in.
If you want to install Windows Server on Proxmox, I recommend using VirtIO drivers from the beginning. This gives your virtual machine better storage and network performance than using older default options.
I’m currently rebuilding a website with Divi 5. Along the way, I keep running into things that aren’t obvious, aren’t documented, or just work differently than expected. I collect them here.
Divi 5 design variables let you define colors, fonts, spacing, text, URLs, and more in one place and reuse them across your entire site. They are a new feature and a core part of the Divi 5 design system.
