I should have clarified I don’t mean for the day, I mean for a week plus.

    No, otherwise the security cameras wouldn’t record and that’s precisely the opposite of what I want when I’m out.

    My server exists to run programs around the clock, including backups for live sites, so turning them off wouldn’t be appropriate.

        I don’t have one. It’s just a tiny single board computer and an HDD running reasonably stable scripts every few hours and a couple of small server programs. Nothing it’s doing is critical, so in the rare case when something breaks, it stays broken until I fix it.

    Server is running the password manager for myself and family, and that needs to stay on while gone (there are ways of handling local copies and they sync later, but when ive accidentally had to troubleshoot that it sucks).

    Then ive got nextcloud, which while i don’t normally need things on there i do enough that it is nice to have.

    stuff on ulv soc hardware i just leave on 24/7. those are < 10w or so each with a load, so nbd.

    anything i want to be able to get at remotely also stays on, obviously, as does anything required for the internet access and routing to get to it.

    everything else is stuff that even gets shut down at bedtime unless it’s “doing something”.

    everything gets shutdown and unplugged if i am going out of town for more than a weekend and have no need for anything to be on. which has happened a whole one time in the last 25 years.

      So if you need to have access to files or containers but will be gone more than a weekend would you shut it down and take files with you, forget the container servers, or leave them going?

        if that ever happens, i’d cross the bridge then. but i’d probably shut everything down. if i’m in ‘vacay’ mode and not at home, i wouldn’t care about connecting to stuff at home. if i’m in ‘work’ mode, i’m taking shit with me i might need or putting it on space at the office before i leave.

        i don’t have what some would consider ‘vital’ services running. like alert notifications systems for various ‘detectors’ (co, power, flood, fire, etc), security cam recordings, and what not.

    The server stays on, always. I have like ten people using the services on there over tailscale. There’s a kvm, should something really unexpected happen.

    My proxmox is LAN only running on a decade old beat up laptop. So yes.

    I do it if I’ll be away more than just couple of days. Some of my hardware is pretty old at this point and I’m just a little paranoid about the possible fire hazard. I’m sure it would be fine to leave everything running but no real harm in shutting it down either.
