How should I do backups?

I have a server running Debian with 24 TB of storage. I would ideally like to back up all of it, though much of it is torrents, so only the ones with low seeders really need backed up. I know about the 321 rule but it sounds like it would be expensive. What do you do for backups? Also if anyone uses tape drives for backups I am...

7Sea_Sailor, (edited )

Can confirm that there is 0 ingress or egress fees, since this is not an S3 container storage server, but a simple FTP server that also has a borg&restic module. So it simply doesnt fall into the e/ingress cost model.

Both UnraidFS and mergerFS can merge drives of separate types and sizes into one array. They also allow removing / adding drives without disturbing the array. None of this is possible with traditional RAID (or at least not without a significant time sink for re-making the array), no matter the type of RAID you use.

I made wanderer - a self-hosted trail and GPS track database (lemmy.world)

Over the last two months, I developed wanderer. It is a self-hosted alternative to sites like alltrails.com or in other words a self-hosted trail database. It started out more as a small hobby project to teach myself some new technologies but in the end, I decided to develop it into a fully-fledged application....

7Sea_Sailor,

Because using a containerization system to run multiple services on the same machine is vastly superior to running everything bare metal? Both from a security and a ease-of-use standpoint. Why wouldnt you use docker?

7Sea_Sailor,

Correct me if im wrong, but if you play a 1080p video on a 4k screen, that would be upscaled. If you put a 1080p video in a 4K stream, then play that 4k stream on the 4k screen, no post-processing would be applied to the video on the screen. All the upscaling happens during encoding, where you have far more control over the upscaler quality.

7Sea_Sailor,

Just use yt-dlp instead of relying on websites that shove ads in your face and may do what ever they want to the files you’re downloading?

7Sea_Sailor,

Mp4 is a video container. Do you mean mp3?

If you dont fear using a little bit of terminal, caddy imo is the better choice. It makes SSL even more brainless (since its 100% automatic), is very easy to configure (especially for reverse proxying) yet very powerful if you need it, has a wonderful documentation and an extensive extension library, doesnt require a mysql database that eats 200 MB RAM and does not have unnecessary limitations due to UI abstractions. There are many more advantages to caddy over NPM. I have not looked back since I switched.

An example caddyfile for reverse proxying to a docker container from a hostname, with automatic SSL certificates, automatic websockets and all the other typical bells and whistles:


<span style="color:#323232;">https://yourdomain.com {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  reverse_proxy radarr:7878
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>
7Sea_Sailor,

AdGuard Home supports static clients. Unless the instance is being used over TCP (port 53, unencrypted), it is by far the better way to use clientnames in the DNS server addresses and unblock the clients over that.

For DoT: clientname.dns.yourdomain.com
For DoH: https://dns.yourdomain.com/dns-query/clientname

A client, especially a mobile one, can simply not guarantee always having the same IP address.

7Sea_Sailor,

Caddy and Authentik play very nicely together thanks to caddy forward_auth directive. Regarding acls, you’ll have to read some documentation, but it shouldnt be difficult to figure out whatsoever. The documentation and forum are great sources of info.

7Sea_Sailor, (edited )

Theres a Dockerfile that you can use for building. It barely changes the flow of how you setup the container. Bigger issue imo is that it literally is the code they use for their premium service, meaning that all the payment stuff is in there. And I don’t know if the apps even have support for connecting to a custom instance.

Edit: their docs state that the apps all support custom instances, making this more intruiging

7Sea_Sailor,

The demo instance would be their commercial service I suppose: ente.io. Since, as are their own words, the github code 1:1 represents the code running on their own servers, the result when selfhosting should be identical.

7Sea_Sailor,

The settlement addresses any and all people who were ever involved in any fashion with the production or distribution of yuzu. Quoting the Settlement:

against Defendant enjoining it and its members, agents, servants, employees, independent contractors, successors, assigns, and all those acting in privity or under its control

So yeah, the devs are all individually targeted, not just the LLC as its own entity. And if any of the devs is ever caught doing anything like this again, they’re gonna face charges much more serious than this i fear.

Another successful OpenBSD setup

I've been buying these little boxes from AliExpress for years to use as firewalls and routers. My oldest one is almost 9 years old now! OpenBSD installs just fine. Just a BIOS tweak to always boot up after power is restored.

7Sea_Sailor,

Ive wanted one of these for a while to replace my ISPs modem+router+switch+wifi-AP. But apparently these devices can be funky to get a good wifi going, and I don’t feel like adding three (mini pc, switch, AP) new devices to my “we don’t talk about it” corner where all the IT is stored. Do you know anything about wifi on these?

7Sea_Sailor,

Is location the only reason to not use it as the AP? If I had a larger house I’d agree, but as I live in a small apartment, the current router location can easily serve the entire flat, so that is no concern right now.

7Sea_Sailor,

You can docker compose up -d <service> to (re)create only one service from your Dockerfile

7Sea_Sailor,

Do you understand how this sub works?

7Sea_Sailor,

It supports sharing via public link. But I don’t think it has sharing with registered users via username.

7Sea_Sailor,

I’ll plug another subsonic compatible server here: gonic. It does not have a web player ui, which saves on RAM. And it is really fast too.

7Sea_Sailor,

this image does not look real at all. why does the bear look so badly photoshopped into the image? something about the light, the shadows, the proportions, feels entirely off to me. the resolutions of the ocean/ice and the bear dont match at all. or is that just me?

7Sea_Sailor,

if predb.net is anything to go by, there has not yet been any scene release for that series: predb.net/search/rey mysterio?page=1. Either it’s too new, interest is too low, or a mix of both. Or something else entirely, who’s to say.

7Sea_Sailor,

its on none of the large trackers

7Sea_Sailor,

I use Hetzner, mainly because of their good uptime, dependable service and being geographically close to me. Its a “safe bet” if you will. Monthly cost, if we’re not counting power usage by the homelab, is about 15 bucks for all three servers.

7Sea_Sailor,

I heard about tailscale first, and haven’t yet had enough trouble to attempt a switch.

7Sea_Sailor,

Are you talking about the Tailscale App or the ZeroTier app? Because the TS Android app is the one thing im somewhat unhappy about, since it does not play nice with the private DNS setting.

7Sea_Sailor,

Hm, I have yet to mess around with matrix. As anything fediverse, the increased complexity is a little overwhelming for me, and since I am not pulled to matrix by any communities im a part of, I wasn’t yet forced to make any decisions. I mainly hang out on discord, if that’s something you use.
