|
||
<p>Sometimes the difference between a ‘production-ready stack’ and ‘why is my NAS on fire?’ is one missing space in a YAML file.</p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p>It started innocently enough:<br>
|
||
a single <code>docker-compose.yml</code>, neat and tidy, humming along like a well-trained orchestra. Then I added <em>one</em> new service—my self-hosted note app—and everything fell apart.</p>
|

<h3 id="the-symptoms">The Symptoms<a hidden class="anchor" aria-hidden="true" href="#the-symptoms">#</a></h3>
|

<ul>
|
||
<li>Containers refusing to start with no useful logs</li>
|
||
<li>DNS loops that made my router question its purpose</li>
|
||
<li>My wife asking, “Why is our TV buffering when you touch the server?”</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="the-diagnosis">The Diagnosis<a hidden class="anchor" aria-hidden="true" href="#the-diagnosis">#</a></h3>
|
||
<p>Turns out, I nested a volume mount under the wrong key.<br>
|
||
YAML: 1 — Human: 0.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="the-fix">The Fix<a hidden class="anchor" aria-hidden="true" href="#the-fix">#</a></h3>
|
||
<p>A humble indent.<br>
|
||
Four spaces, to be precise.<br>
|
||
Suddenly the world made sense again, DNS was stable, and my cat stopped judging me.</p>

||
<h3 id="lessons-learned">Lessons Learned<a hidden class="anchor" aria-hidden="true" href="#lessons-learned">#</a></h3>

|
||
<li><strong>Version control everything</strong>, even your test Compose files.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Automate backups</strong> before you “just try something real quick.”</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Celebrate small victories</strong>—sometimes the win is just getting your network back online before dinner.</li>

</ol>

|

<p>If you read this and thought, “I’ve been there,” then welcome to the club.<br>
|
||
Homelabs teach patience, humility, and the thrill of a perfectly clean <code>docker ps</code> output.</p>

<p><em>Stay tuned for next week’s adventure: rebuilding my reverse proxy after a 301 loop ate my weekend.</em></p>
