What services do I run?

My main server runs Proxmox that has 4 VM's
1. Nextcloud and Bitwarden
This VM is for my private cloud and
password manager
2. OpenVPN.
For connection to my network when away to be able
access and work as I was local.
3. Windows server 2019
This VM runs some network services.
4. HomeAssistant OS (New)
To make a central control system for
smart home devices.

I also have a intel NUC
The NUC runs PiHole and Uptime Kuma.
Uptime Kuma informs me when a server of service is down.
Last but not least
I rent a VPS that runs most of my sites and also a instance of Uptime Kuma.
This Uptime Kuma informs me when a site of my IPS connection is down.
