Documentation, organization and following standardization in a homelab is really important. When I started, I was over-excited with everything and did not have a standardize way of doing things, resulting in a lot of frustration when things went wrong.

Over the course of the last few months, I put in place processes for backups, testing backups, updating Proxmox, Firewall, VMs/docker, monitoring etc. with the appropriate documentation. One such process is the one attached in the diagram reflecting my process of a new app from DEV to PROD.

Opening the discussion, especially for new comers that might find such things useful, what are your processes and flows that you have build to help you out and better your experience?
