Zero Power Redundancy Power Outage - Home Lab

Cant fix until UPS investment

What happened

Power outage at production site (my house), while I was off-site my house lost power due to construction, according to my family it was flickering on and off leading to some issues on production server. While planning my home lab blueprint I planned on getting a UPS, but I ran out of my budget and added it to my next upgrades but I haven't gotten to it yet. I haven't gotten a power outage in months so I assumed it could run without a UPS for a few weeks but as we can see I can gamble my investment, data and uptime on luck.

Resulting Incident

SODOLA Managed Switch Web UI Issue - Home Network

Root cause

Email from AEP power company

The fix

OPEN CASE UNTIL UPS PURCHASED

Prevention

Invest in a UPS system and create a program to safely shut down my nodes to prevent any of my nodes from corrupting in the process. This investment will also protect me from power surges and protects all my equipment
