New on my blog: how I install Windows Server on Proxmox with VirtIO drivers. I show the VM setup, how to load the vioscsi storage driver during setup, and why I now install the network driver only after first boot. edywerder.ch/windows-server… #Proxmox #WindowsServer #Homelab

I updated my complete guide on running WordPress on a Synology NAS 🖥️ Covers the full install, SSL setup, file permissions fix If you're self-hosting WordPress at home, this one's for you 👇 edywerder.ch/wordpress-on-s… #Synology #WordPress #Homelab #NAS

I started collecting Divi 5 tips from real-world use. First one: the + icon to add a module doesn't always show up in the visual editor. Not a bug, just not obvious. More tips coming as I keep building. edywerder.ch/divi-5-tips/ #Divi #WordPress #PageBuilder #WebDesign

I tested Divi 5 design variables on a real project. Here is what works, what is missing, and why I name variables by size rather than by HTML tag. edywerder.ch/divi-5-design-… #Divi5 #WordPress #WebDesign #DiviBuilder

I published my Divi 5 review today. My take: Divi 5 is making a great comeback, not perfect yet. Better workflow, a stronger design system, and a much better case for new projects. edywerder.ch/divi-5-review/ #WordPress #Divi5 #WebDesign @pagebuilder

I’m Swiss-based, and I love VPS hosting, but I still run a home server for the stuff that benefits from being local: Home Assistant, backups, file sync, and Proxmox. For public WordPress sites, I stick to a VPS. edywerder.ch/the-best-mini-… #homelab #proxmox #selfhosting #minipc

I wrote a guide on setting up Fail2ban email notifications on Ubuntu. Install, configure, test | including the Postfix gotchas that trip most people up. edywerder.ch/fail2ban-email… #Fail2ban #Ubuntu #Linux #Homelab #ServerSecurity #InfoSec #SysAdmin

Migrating a VM from #VMware #ESXi to #Proxmox? I wrote my step-by-step workflow using the Import Wizard, plus a fallback method in case the wizard fails, and pre-import checks to prevent surprises. edywerder.ch/vmware-to-prox… #Homelab #Virtualization #SysAdmin #KVM #SelfHosting

I broke my WordPress site on a Sunday during an xCloud VPS migration… and fixed it the next day 😅 Hosts file staging + WP-CLI search-replace was the key. Then Redis + Nginx cache + Cloudflare edge caching = speed. edywerder.ch/xcloud-wordpre… #WordPress #VPS #Cloudflare #Hosting

Tired of noisy, power-hungry servers? Mini PCs are compact, quiet, and surprisingly powerful for home labs. Here's what to look for. edywerder.ch/the-best-mini-… #homelab #miniPC #homeserver #selfhosting

If you run a homelab 24/7, your power budget matters. I measured real power draw for NUC vs MS-01 vs PowerEdge T360 and did the yearly CHF math. edywerder.ch/low-power-home… #HomeLab #PowerBudget #PowerEfficiency #Server #MiniPC #Proxmox

I follow the “disable admin” best practice… and still got locked out after an SMB package update. 😅 Mode 1 reset got me back in (no data loss). Steps + static IP gotcha: edywerder.ch/how-to-reset-s… #Synology #DSM #NAS

SSH is a helpful tool for troubleshooting and administrative tasks on a Synology NAS. I wrote a step-by-step guide to enable SSH in DSM and connect safely. edywerder.ch/ssh-into-synol… #Synology #NAS #Homelab #SysAdmin #Linux #SSH #DSM #SelfHosting #Networking #CyberSecurity
