I recognize this will vary depending on how much you self-host, so I'm curious about the range of experiences from the few self-hosted things to the many self-hosted things.

Also how might you compare it to other maintenance of your other online systems (e.g. personal computer/phone/etc.)?

Maybe 1 hr every month or two to update things.

Thinks like my opnsense router are best updated when no one else is using the network.

The docker containers I like to update manually after checking the release logs. Doesn't take long and I often find out about cool new features perusing the release notes.

Projects will sometimes have major updates that break things and I strongly prefer having everything super stable until I have time to sit down and update.

11 stacks, 30+ containers. Borg backups runs automatically to various repositories. Zfs auto snap snot also runs automatically to create rapid backups.

I use unraid as a nas and proxmox for dockers and VMs.
