I personally do a restic backup on my server (I have a dedicated hetzner server), and keep a backup on the server itself, and do a backup to a backblaze bucket for an offsite backup.

I also have a restic check job run every week, that reads 10% of the random data making sure everything is fine and working correctly.

For my local machine I do the same but additionally backup also to an usb drive for a 3-2-1 backup solution.

Here is the link to the wiki page I created: rsync

The most important part for you is the last one, but I would recomend to read it whole to understand how rsync works a bit.

Don’t really have some rn. Will make a page on my wiki and link it to you later with some basic examples.

No, I only have new files on my local machine, and as I collect new stuff I move them to my server with rsync and just remove it onthe local machine.

Rsync is more than smart enough to, if you keep same folder structure to easilly move the files to the server without you having to manually copy other each file.

When it comes to media like my music library and comics for example I just use rsync to move new ones to the server every time I collect some new (I have about 60gb of it)

I would just use rsync on the whole folder.

Rsync is smart enough to be able to only send files you didnt’ have previously like a regular mv command.

Or you can sync the whole directory and have it also delete removed files.

Edit: If you wan’t something to automatically “sync/backup” the data, why don’t you try and use syncthing? P2P syncing solution that might be exactly what you need in your hse case.

I tend to use rsync 99% times.

Honestly I just have a directory with markdown files I sync between my devices using syncthing.

For editing on pc I use neovim and for editing on phone I use markor.

At one point was arch lover, then I became a gentoo lover.

Now I’m on nixos because gentoo didn’t have a good retroarch package.

I recently started something similar using bookstack as the software behind.

Still severely lacking in content but am willing for anyone who has time and something interesting to write in it as long it’s connected to tech, preferably linuc and open source software.

Here is the link and if anyone want’s to contribhte I’m more than willing to accept a couple editor to grow the content on it.

Used to not monitor at all, but after setting up crowdsec I got completeky into prometheus + grafana system resource and security monitiring on my dedicated hetzner server.

I also keep uptime kuma on another cheap vps to monitor the states of websites directly for issues and I have seted up watchtower to send ntfy notifications on updates so I can know an update is the one fucking everything up.

Recently also setup restuc backups so I made it so I also get backup health check logs as ntfy notifications on my phone, which really helps me keep everything runnig.

What I really need to also do is create prometheus/grafana alerts for additional things to get notifications on my phone for them also ( like when crowdsec starts to randomly not get any more acqusitions, so I have to restart it. Once passed over a week before I looked at grafana and caught that ).

Note: this is all a hoby, I also don’t host anything at home out of a couple reasons, most important being internet and hardware is expensive af here so it’s simply cheaper for me to play around with vps’s and hetzner dedicated servers.

Just add in syncthing in your stack and you will get keepass with the benefit of syncing directly between devices in a p2p matter.

I have been using this combo for almost 2 years now and it’s better if you ask me than using vaultwarden.

Or piped, depending on what you prefer.

Update: I have ended up with hosting a sharkey instance, mostly because of it’s very active development and nice ui. ( No way it was cause of the shark costumed waifu )

You could try using ssh reverse proxy and proxy the port to the vps.

Another way is to setup wireguard on the vps, connect the powerfull machine to it and keep it always connected there. ( This isn’t really a good options since then all traffic is moved thrkught the vps )

There is also grok I think that’s the name.

In general I think ssh reverse port proxy would be a decent way and then you can use a reverse proxy on the vps like nginx or caddy ( you need one that works on the host network )

Yea, evem rn on the server I have about 13? or so domains, and still haven’t migrated all my services over.

Hi already tried that, worked for one domain and then stopped working for every other domain.

Update: I have moved to caddy, planned a switch either way and this just pushed me to do it.

Yes

Nice ui, and I already have a vps there. My main dns provider is namecheap but made it use vultr under the hood because of the nice ui.
