What is the most painful step on setting up a homelab in your experience? (alien.top)

For me it is writting docker compose files describing my services. I like to test them on my machine before pushing them to the server(s). But I guess that's my own fault for not using something like portainer or even SSHFS.

What's the most annoying / painful step for you?

Shelling out for it, and the ongoing costs.

Electricity might be "cheap" in amreica. But in the Real world, selfhosted costs real money that takes from other necessities like heating/cooling.

Don't try to bullshit me, power is expensive in AU, and Heat/Cool is regularly on.

My quarterly with a VERY modest system, and really taxing rules on power (read using AC/HEATING) and my quarters are still $600AUD.

Hope you have a good paying job, or live in a country that doesn't give a shit about power costs.
