Local Ghost
I just completed setting up my Ghost instance on an Ubuntu 24.04 LXC in Proxmox. It wasn't a terribly difficult process, but it did require a fair amount of troubleshooting along the way. Most of it was because of my own missteps, but that's half the fun...right? When you aren't afraid to break things, you get used to fixing them. I've done my fair share of that over the years, whether it's with toys, cars, computers, motorcycles, TVs, walls, tools, etc. When it comes to home labbin or test environment, you're usually only out your time. I wish I had some do overs when it comes to other projects I've done in life. Learning from your mistakes can be costly. Fortunately, none of these mistakes have left me destitute ;-)
Proxmox allows for restoring from a snapshot, so once you have things at a stable stage, you snapshot it incase you need to restore to that point later. Rsync is another handy tool for backing up files and directories, but that's a topic for another day.
