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
No testing environment in my home lab so far.
But on the other hand, no planned builds either. Just fiddling around til it works.
I am currently planning for new hardware, and then doing it all with build scripts there, as fully automated as possible. The whole setup, from scratch. But for that I need to do some learning first.
So the new hardware is going to be it’s own test environment for a good while, until it turns into production.
