hello everyone I have a small service I have been developing as a side gig for the last year and I want to self-host since I got some new hardware and I want to dive in the world of self-hosting and DevOps more (I’m a dev)

for now, I have it setup in a couple of EC2 instances, but things are getting expensive and since I got some new workstations from a friend that they were decommissioning (they are moving to a new place and have a bigger budget for a data center) I got 2 Lenovo Workstation each with Ryzen 9 5900X 32GB RAM and 1TB NVMe

I want to set up HA for this service and maybe add some other computer as a NAS, so my question is how should I go about doing this I was thinking proxmox on both nodes and setup HA, but I think that needs a common Data store (probably will be using the NAS for this) and how should I go about setting up the HTTP server (I have some stuff that also runs in docker containers I was thinking having one HTTP server for managing all that traffic with DNS and stuff) and monitoring any help is much appreciated

    but I think that needs a common Data store (probably will be using the NAS for this)

    Note that this setup could be a single point of failure. For true HA, you might want to consider deploying two storage boxes with replication (SAN or NAS), or configure a hyper-converged infrastructure using solutions like VMware VSAN, Ceph, or StarWind VSAN.
