Does rclone support the cloud service?

Software RAID is generally better in every way, also no hardware to fail.
Keep multiple reliable (and tested) backups, if something fails restore a backup.
Don't rely on any storage, RAID or anything else to be recoverable when something goes wrong.
Backrest is also great, just a nice webUI for Restic.
It's wild just how slow most thumb drives benchmark even with recent models, the Samsung Bar at 36MB/s is just ridiculous, that's 30 minutes of waiting to fill it up entirely!
A basic V30 microSD card is at least that fast!
Yeah it seems this is not really meant for full self-hosting, it might be better to find another option to use.
Yes I'm waiting until it's ready for the average user before I recommend it to anyone.
Sure:
-
Proxmox backs up all my VMs/CTs nightly to the proxmox backup server I run as a VM with an external HDD attached to it. This keeps around 30 versions with a retention policy so I can go back pretty far if needed. These are full bootable images and include everything.
-
Restic (using Backrest to manage it), runs on any VMs/CTs with critical data, and backs up to Backblaze B2 every night as well, this is a more limited choice of the critical files that I'd need. Similar retention policy as the proxmox backup.
With both I try and do some full restores every month or two and test things out.
If you really want better sleep quality probably a better way is stop using stuff with screens like an hour or so before bed. It's not really the blue light that is the issue, it's the endless content keeping our mind active.
Give your brain time to rest and relax!
Sounds like you're just running the back end, and it's using the public front end linked to your local back end by default.
If you want to use port 12470 it says that is https so you'd need to type that in instead of http in your browser.
If you wanted to run the whole thing locally, it mentions disabling CORS, and then you'd probably need to set up the web front end: https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-web
I use watchtower to auto update everything.
Anything that needs a specific version for compatibility (Postgres mostly) is pinned to the major release.
Stuff occasionally breaks, but I have backups for that reason (if you don't, set that up now before anything else, they should be running daily at least and you should have 2 types of backup minimum).
It would be good for them to make sure it's clear that it's a fork of Firefox and supports addons in their marketing! Right now it's quite a ways down the home page.
