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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

In addition to the recommendations you're getting already, I recommend learning about Borg Backup. It has great documentation.
https://www.borgbackup.org/
Borgmatic is a project that makes automatic backups easier with Borg.
https://torsion.org/borgmatic/
If you want a GUI for your personal machines there is Vorta.

I've used Borg for years now and test my restores every year. Which reminds me… I should do that more often. 😅
while borgbackup is superior I'd like to hear your thoughts on that whole restic thing, e.g. backrest.
Restic seems nice but I don’t have any experience with it so don’t have much to say. Someone else with some experience with Restic might come along though and contribute. :)
