Home Server – setting up ZFS (revisited)

Introduction Finally, after two years of renovations and two children, I am revisiting the idea of a small home server. I don’t expect it to do much: Media server File backup Some docker containers Grafana Possibly pfSense or another firewall Whenever I’m accessing a remote system (even when using SSH in my internal network) I prefer to start a TMUX session. That way, if I get disconnected (for instance) during the middle of a package upgrade, the process just continues and I can reconnect at a later time without issues (if tmux is not yet installed or you’re not using it yet, I highly recommend reading up on it and taking a bit of time to get used to the basic concepts. I used this quick-start a couple of years ago).
