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.

For backups, I have two storage VPSes (one in Los Angeles and one with a completely different provider in Canada), and have an individual backup to each one. I'm using Borgbackup for that.
Borg lets you enable an "append only" mode for particular clients such that even if an attacker were to gain access to your client system, they couldn't delete your backups. This is a common issue with rsync/rclone solutions.
Borg dedupes across all backups, so you can have months of daily backups without using a lot more disk space. Neither rsync nor rclone can do this.
Don't forget to test your backups by doing a data recovery run - act as if your data was lost, and try to set everything up again, maybe on a VM or something. If the backups aren't tested, you don't really have backups :)
