Part three of the Household Tech Saga. Robin's server at home works, and he loves it. Then the home server updates start breaking things, a certificate runs out, and the disk fills up, all at midnight. The home server backup ran every night, and nobody ever tried a restore. Then there's the power cut, remote access to a home server from outside the house, and Nana's phone, which says the connection isn't private. Lord Malware drops by to admire the open port. None of this is a reason not to run things yourself; it's the part of self-hosting maintenance nobody mentions, measured in evenings and weekends. The Household Tech Saga is a short animated series from ElfHosted about one family's tech: subscription soup, a server at home, the upkeep, and finding the elves. Each episode stands on its own; watch them in order in the playlist on our channel. Whatever breaks, you can talk to a person: the ElfHosted team is on Discord around the clock, in a family-friendly, carefully moderated server.
