I believe this is a slightly controversial topic, at least from what I have gathered so far. Some say its best to leave the server on to spare the life time of the spinning rust. Other seem to prefer to save power and boot the server off each night. So wanted to chip in and hear what folks here do and why do what you do.

Bonus question; Do you guys have a UPS? Is it a must have for a homelab, or does it just depend on the usecase?

    Ignore the URL; I wasn’t allowed to post without a link?? kept getting invalid URL, without anything in the field. Not sure why…?

        Posted using Photon frontend. Doesn’t give that choice, you just include what you want in the post normally…

          Interesting. I wonder if that’s a bug in the Photon app. I use Voyager on mobile. When I tap to create a new post, there is a toggle for link, image, or text.
