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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Use the one that makes most sense to you for restores.

Backup a folder, then restore it somewhere else... if any of the applications causes you problems for your setup, move on.

Good point. I was going to set 1-2 of them up and find out what suits my needs.

Just looking at my NAS now...

I used to use Kopia to backup to a Backblaze B2 bucket, but I've moved to Restic as I can backup over ssh to a NAS at a family member's home and to a Hetzner storage box.

Purely from reading about the different tools Restic is also my favourite at the moment. I mainly want to use it so my client devices can do backups on my NAS and maybe at some later stage backup my NAS to a NAS at a family members home just like you do.
