Options in backing up persistent docker volumes? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] mirisbowring@lemmy.primboard.de 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly the reason why i always exchange the volumes in any compose file with bind mounts.

Also you don‘t have the provlem of many dangling volumes

Router Port vs VPS Reverse Proxy in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] mirisbowring@lemmy.primboard.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But whats the difference between having the reverse proxy on a VPS pointing to you homelab via a VPN or having this Reverse Proxy directly attached to a port? Just from „takeover perspektive“ there should be no no difference

Router Port vs VPS Reverse Proxy (lemmy.primboard.de)
 

„Inspired“ from https://lemmy.world/post/287146 and many related questions (also on reddit before).

Why don‘t people like opening Port 443 on their Homerouter? An open Port itself is not a vulnerability because nothing is listening on it, therefore there cannot be any connection established. When forwarding Port 443 From Router to e.g. The Homeservers LoadBalancer / Proxy, this Proxy is the final resolver anyways.

So why doing the more complex and more error prone Route via the VPS / Tailscale / CloudFlare?

I did that some years ago too, but just because i did not have an static IPv4 at home. But speeds were awful and i switched to Routerport + DynDNS and now everything is super performant.

Populating self-hosted Lemmy instance in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

i did that partially. I have a bit user subscribed to many communities. Unfortunately that is a fully manual task - currently i don’t have an automated way of doing this

Cryptomator: A Warning About Data Loss in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] mirisbowring@lemmy.primboard.de 1 points 1 year ago

I mitigated the issue by testing my restore procedure:D

I am still not sure if it was an restic or minio problem, but many files were corrupt.

today i am using borg.

„Subscribe Pending“ for lemmy.ml communities in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
[–] mirisbowring@lemmy.primboard.de 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's not very consistent

This is why a backup strategy is only as good as the tested restore procedure!

But i agree - same was for me (years ago) with restic and minio S3.

Since then, i restore a full backup once or twice a year to a second machine to test it

„Subscribe Pending“ for lemmy.ml communities (lemmy.primboard.de)
 

Hi, I am running my own instance and generally federation works (especially with e.g. lemmy.world).

But for every lemmy.ml community i tried, I am stuck with „subscribe pending“. Interesting is, that I able to see the latest posts mostly (and they continue to do so) but i cannot see most comments or votes (still, some are visible).

What is going on here an how can i fix it?

My instance is also listed on the lemmy.ml linked instance list.

In search of a self-hosted messaging client for my Jellyfin users in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] mirisbowring@lemmy.primboard.de 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Somehow you are describing an „email“…

Problem with you approach is, that you have an easier maintenance, but your users need an additional tool. Especially when grandparents should use this, you should stick to what is there.

In theory you could host a matrix server and install some bridges like whatsapp, discord, etc. probably you would be able to create a matrix room and invite your granny via the whatsapp integration, your friends via discord, etc.

Disclaimer: I did not set up such solution - this just came to mind for your situation.

Raspberry Pi alternatives for headless self hosted applications in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] mirisbowring@lemmy.primboard.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's true - as long as the battery does not catch fire :D

Are you using any charging utility? Like Macbooks are drawing power from Power brick as long as the battery is full. Still they are sometimes discharging to around 50% to keep the cells alive.

Spotify Alternative for streaming server in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] mirisbowring@lemmy.primboard.de 1 points 1 year ago

This assumes that you have all the new stuff on your server every time? I mean, proposing new stuff without having it makes no sense

alternatively any used thin client will do well to. Cost around 50 bucks and has waaaay more power than a pi while not consuming much more.
