My Web App Update Process

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve settled on a very standard, reproducible setup for services in my homelab. This post looks at that, then runs through the update I did today to Forgejo which only took a few minutes and felt relatively risk free.

Standard Setups

My system is based around Proxmox. I have three physical machines - one for production apps, a production spare, and a development/testbed machine. A Synology NAS serves for backups. Moving a VM or LXC between the machines is trivial; but it’s done manually - the machines are not clustered for high availability.
