It’s not that difficult. You can create a second VM from the backup with a few clicks and move the necessary data with scp.

I’m sure they are glad they are protected from the free information war and that you, in true solidarity, are decidedly not helping them to gain free information access. 🫡

Not wrong, just saying that every Vaultwarden client is a backup basically since they cache everything and it doesn’t expire.

Wtf are you talking about, nobody is climbing anywhere. By running snowflake, you are offering a piece of infrastructure that other people can use, it’s not specific to the Iran. They can’t install it themselves if the local internet is censored, that’s the whole point of this.

It’s the best we have. What’s your specific problem with it?

Ofc! But since this is the selfhosting community I figured the Docker thing would be more practical. My laptop with the browser isn’t always on.

You need a reserve proxy. That’s a piece of software that takes the requests and puts them toward the correct endpoint.

You need to create port forwards in the router and direct 80 and 443 (or whatever you’re using) toward the host of the reverse proxy and that is listening to on those ports. If it recognized the requests are for nas.your.domain, it will forward the requests to the NAS.

Common reverse proxies are nginx or caddy. You can install it on your raspberry, it doesn’t need it’s own device.

If you don’t want that, you can create different port forwards on your router (e.g. 8080 and 8443 to the Raspi) and configure your service on the Raspi corresponding. But it doesn’t scale well and you’d need to call everything with the port and the reverse proxy is the usual solution.

Yeah I think of it the other way round: I couldn’t get myself to organize them without combining it with a nice selfhosted tool. The goal is getting my stuff organized, the cost is doing work, which includes setting up a system. I can cheat on the cost a little by including a fun project in the cost part.

I do think there’s a hidden cost in selfhosting though and it’s maintenance. Fortunately, there’s selfhosted tools that help with that too :-)

Isn’t that the goal? If you have an old drawer full of unorganized stuff, implementing a selfhosted management tool is getting an organizer and thinking about how to fill it, but you still have to sort your stuff in.

The only selfhosted thing where I really have to re-organize is my documents in paperless but I’m so glad to finally have it all organized and searchable instead of some hot mess of an inconsistent folder structure.

I used to do this. Didn’t know the tutorial but used this part of the documentation: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Installation

I switched to have an unencrypted proxmox partition and have all VM disks on an encrypted partition, mostly to have reboot working.

My NAS ist almost exclusively backups. Just installed TrueNAS to have a GUI for ZFS and NFS.

Idk, you can probably ask the owner via the shop

The latter, it’s all 3D printed rackmounts

No, not a media server. But it could be with the NAS and just mount a big NAS dataset into one of the servers.

I spent a lot of time automating the setup of the Proxmox nodes with an Ansible role. It install packages, sets up exporters for monitoring, makes some Proxmox tweaks and, most important, creates the file system structures for replication and high availability. The NAS runs TrueNAS which is mostly in the default configuration, similar for the OPNsense firewall.

That’s the operating system site of things. The VMs with the Docker services (Nextcloud, Bookstack, Calibre Web Automated, Authentik, Prometheus Stack with Grafana, this Lemmy instance, Gitea and some more) have just been transfered from the old server.

The Lenovo boxes have single 480GB disks (probably the thing I need to upgrade somewhat soon). Backups go to the NAS which has a 3 x 1,8 TB ZFS mirror (RAID 1 basically) in the JBOD.

This is the first time I’ve heard about using UPS for something other than powering computers in case of a blackout. Shouldn’t the power supplies take care of the rest? Never heard of reducing wear and tear by external components.

Looking for something specific? Lenovos have 4C/8T, 32GB RAM and an extra SSD for the virtual drives. The whole thing is idling just below 50W.

Each box was around 100-150€ plus some drives, 3D material/energy was 15€ and my friend’s bar tab, rails/screws/blinds were around 40€ in total. Bought everything second hand with low price and power consumption in mind.

That sounds like a good opportunity for offsite backup!

Oh cool! Wheels are definitely a good idea. I thought about a UPS but our grid is super stable and apparently they cause their own problems now and then.
