Additional stuff you may be interested in:
Caddy for reverse proxy (accessing your services with a nice URL instead of IP address and port numbers)
PiHole for DNS-level ad-blocking and other useful router functionality
Look for a backup solutions for your config files, maybe you can handle this at Proxmox level but I don't have experience with that.
I'll def get pihole! Meant to write it down but forgot. Caddy seems super helpful too
For backing up config files, would GitHub be fine? Ik microslop bought it (boooo! tomato!) but is there another foss alternative I should use instead?
Be careful before uploading your config files to a public location like GitHub, you don't want to inadvertently publish some secrets like passwords, API keys and such. A copy to an external drive should do the trick just fine as a starting point.
Sweet, I'll throw it on a flash drive for the time being, then eventually also get it on my NAS after it's all set up
