Sometimes you’re hands are tied by the tools already on the server - but I’ll try to remember to check to see if that’s available next time.

My condolences :'(

I once lost a bunch of data because I accidently left a / at the end of a path… rsync can be dangerous lol

Unraid, mostly due to the flexible arrays.

which also includes their free services

Well… their free services remain free regardless of your registrar. Still, I don’t really mind supporting them given how useful they have been even in just the free tier.

like Google

Too soon. I mean, it was ages ago but…

Looks promising.
How would you feel about setting up automated pushes to docker?

3 billion of them. So, over a third of the population of earth does (at least according to this graphic).

There’s that as well. Point is, it really depends on the data.

I’m sure that really depends on the data.

If we’re talking about stuff like family photos, then having it retrievable feels pretty reasonable to me.

That’s a very succinct rebuttal… I like it.

It’s in the Arch TOS.

I’m using cloudflare as my DNS, and it’s literally just:

• Create an A record.
• Set the name to *
• Set the IP to the appropriate server
• You may want to untick the proxy, depending on what you’re hosting. If it’s web stuff only it’s fine, but if you’re doing anything else as well it’ll get in the way.

On the letsencrypt side, it’s pretty similar. Create a certificate with domain.name and *.domain.name (if you want them to share a cert) and you’re off.

I host some private stuff on mine, hidden behind an authentication service that is. But because I just use a wildcard no-one can really tell what I have hosted - the same login page occurs for every subdomain, regardless of whether it’s actually wired up to something.

That doesn’t help with services you wish to make semi-public (like a lemmy instance) though.

I’d definetly recommend GitLab too - but it’s not lightweight.

My mate’s home server.

So that’s what happened to this guy…

I’ve never really understood why, seemingly universally, symmetric (or at least non-anemic upload plans) are completely unaffordable compared to “normal” plans (assuming they’re available at all).

It truly sucks for stuff like this.

I missed that part in the docs - thanks. Now it’s working way better. Thanks heaps - I’m going to trial this alongside my duplicati for a bit (as I’ve heard a few too many horror stories about duplicati…)

Is it normal for borg to nag for my password so many times?

Context: I have 2 config files, as I would prefer to have each app I want backed up in a separate config if reasonable. I don’t have a remote setup yet - it’s just using a local repository.

Could you mount a blank directory into docker, then use borg to mount the backups into that?
