Do you turn your servers off when you leave home? What is your line of thinking on this? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

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

Edit: I left them on for a month. Bad thing about being encrypted is I had to have someone login.

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.
