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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I just started getting into self hosting using docker compose and I wonder about possible backup solutions. I only have to safe my docker config so far, but I want host files as well. What software and hardware are you using for backup?

I've been using Borg to back my stuff up. It gets backed up to rsync.net, which has good support for Borg:

If you're good enough at computers, you can even set up a special borg account with them that's cheaper and has no tech support.

I was a rsync.net user for many years and recently switched to borgbase, because of how easy it is to manage multiple backup targets.

I'm on the same boat right now, borg and borgbase.
