What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server.
The mouse did not survive interrogation.
Also mouse not pictured.
I do not care to admit how many times when I was first getting into home labbing that I could not figure out why I could not reach a pi or the internet. All because I either killed an SD card for pihole or just plain out forgot to put one in!
I took my SD card out of the rpi to reinstall home assistant. Terribly annoyed because I had no backup of my configuration.
When reinstalling my SD I found out it was the ethernet cable that wasn’t plugged in.
I am so afraid of an SD card dying and killing my HA so I have a HD setup. I have one good SD card of the 10’s of cards I have killed and it is now running my ssh honey pot on a pi 0 2.

Yeah, that was the last iteration of the setup. I had two SD’s break before I figured out they aren’t suited for running high read/write systems. Lessons learned during homelabbing.
I should really make a dd image of my card for the Pi I use for all my switch serial connections.
