Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Set up a Backblaze B2 account. Make regular backups via RSync (and use encryption.)
10GB free, and dirt cheap after that.
I do this, but on B2 I upload encrypted restic repo. Password manager backup is one of those instances where it's totally worth to have historical copies (for example, 1 weekly copy for the last 6 months), as it consumes very little space while saving the day in case of accidental overwrite or deletion.
Where do you backup the decryption? Is it a memorized password, or a key?
B2 gives you an API key, you put that into rclone.
You setup encryption with rclone which you can make a passkey for, or let it generate. Just make sure to save it somewhere.
Yes. It was the "save it somewhere" I was wondering what people do. If you keep it in the same building as the server, a fire could render backups useless.
I ended up storing it on a separate online service from backblaze
I keep it as a "secure note" in my password manager.
Though I host that myself and back it up to B2....
Well I'm sure I'd be able to use one of many devices I have that has the vault cached if things go to hell.
