About

Basement Uptime is a small, focused set of notes on self-hosting and homelab operations — Proxmox, LXC, DNS, backups, and the specific, often-undocumented gotchas that show up when you actually run this stuff long-term rather than just following a setup tutorial once.

Posts here come from real operational work: things that broke, why they broke, and what fixed them. No sponsored placement, no product seeded by a PR firm — where a link to a specific piece of hardware or software is useful, it’s linked because it’s genuinely what was used, and some of those links may be affiliate links (see the note in the footer).

Corrections and follow-up questions are welcome.
