I have a home server with various services running (all isolated with different user accounts). The server has a small SSD and a big external HDD, but I'd like to make external backups to my cloud account. The cloud service has a proprietary command line application to sync data, so backups would ideally be date separated compressed tar files that it can then sync. An additional complication are PostgreSQL and SQLite databases that can't just be copied without risking breaking the integrity of the files.
How would you do the backups? Do you have some existing app that you could suggest? I'm sure I can whip up some script to do it, but I wouldn't mind if there was something already made.

Restic is a command line tool that supports a lot of storage solutions S3, SFTP, DAV, etc. There are some beta UI but I run it in scheduled jobs using a systemd timer. It can encrypt the data. For the database: postgresql have a backup tool to dump the databases to a file that then you can backup with the rest (I keep 7 local copies) #restic#backup#postgresql
Dropped some updates to selfh.st/apps this morning - tiles now have visible/clickable tags, URL properties have been added for sharing custom views with others, and I've added a ton of new project icons.
I'm completely open to feedback on future improvements, but probably won't consider adding any more details to the tiles to prevent them from becoming too cluttered.

This website solved an issue I had. A good alternative to Typeform. Because we all know 21 EUR/month * 12 months (252 EUR) for a subscription is absolute horseshit.

@zlatiah Ah, okay.
I have an all in one machine that I want to turn into a server but there's no lid so I'll have to figure out another way to keep the LCD off.
@shollyethan Just a note on the app directory, I noticed the licenses are off for Sentry and Outline. Outline is BUSL, Sentry is FSL, and they only become Apache (and open source) after a few years (for older versions). Plus Lubelogger isn't really MIT as mentioned yesterday.
@boilingsteam Question: does a machine running 24/7 when one's away but 16/7 (sleeps at night to save on fan noise) when one's home count?
(Counted it as a "Yup" anyway 😅)

Any nerds out there know whether it’s possible to find an adapter to replace this tiny drive with something more useful?
I’m pondering this tiny Dell PC as a home server, but it only has USB 2. So I’m wondering whether I could run an adapter cable to a socket outside the case into which I can plug something with a usable capacity.
As far as I can tell it’s a 44 pin IDE DOM, but not much appears to work with it.
Also bei der Installation von #Yunohost hatte ich keinerlei Probleme. Ja: Es muss aktuell Debian 11 als Grundlage installiert sein. Aber das steht auch in der Doku #rtfm 😉
I'm launching a new sister project to the self-hosted apps directory I launched a few weeks ago and am giving the #fediverse a sneak peek because I need your help!
What are your favorite companion apps for the self-hosted services you deploy?
They must support software that can be self-hosted, be relatively up-to-date, and can be closed source.
Comment below or send me a DM with your suggestions. Thanks!
