  • I agree with this, though it’s not the easiest option. Ceph is amazing for storage, I am using mini pc nucs for my cluster and to expand storage I simply plan to add nodes and get the largest sata and m.2 SSD.

    I recently setup velero for automated backups. It even is configured to dump my HA postgrrd DB and then backup the dump folder.

    Other cool experiences I can think of is netdata with Prometheus metrics auto scraping pods by their annotations to pull their statistics in, and nothing is more satisfying then making a service highly available.



  • Setup backup hooks with velero and kopia on a HA postres cluster this week. Biggest DB is Lemmy and that shrinks by a factor of 10 using pgdunp with custom archive. Dumping is 100% the way to go!

    Similarly I should do this for my sqlite applications, it looks like kopia can’t do incremental backups with them and thinking about it, it makes sebse, likely sane reasons you mentioned.







  • I’m actually swapping from longhorn to rook and ceph right now. Longhorn has given a lot of troubles and it does not like replica of 1 at all. Sounds like you do want a NAS, though high availability is probably over kill for home use, having a NAS makes you have that as a single point of failure. I ended up upgrading all my nodes and keeping replication off 3 since I still wanted the high availability.
