I use it in a homelab, I don’t need to apply prod/team/high-availability solutions to my Audiobookshelf or Mealie servers. If an upgrade goes wrong, I’ll restore from backup. Honestly, in the handful of years I’ve been doing this, only one upgrade of an Immich container caused me trouble and I just needed to change something in the compose file and that was it.

I get using these strategies if you’re hosting something important or just want to play with new shiny stuff but, in my humble opinion, any extra effort or innovating in a homelab should be spent on backups. It’s all fun and games until your data goes poof!
