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 see many posts asking about what other lemmings are hosting, but I'm curious about your backups.

I'm using duplicity myself, but I'm considering switching to borgbackup when 2.0 is stable. I've had some problems with duplicity. Mainly the initial sync took incredibly long and once a few directories got corrupted (could not get decrypted by gpg anymore).

I run a daily incremental backup and send the encrypted diffs to a cloud storage box. I also use SyncThing to share some files between my phone and other devices, so those get picked up by duplicity on those devices.

Main NAS backups to Secondary NAS (onsite - 10G link). Secondary NAS backups up to Offsite (Hetzner server) weekly. Only important data, not Linux ISOs etc.

Do you encrypt your Backups on the Hetzner server?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup, both NASs are running TrueNas Scale, which have a setting for Encryption on Cloud Sync Tasks. (Encrypts both filename and file contents)

Is the encryption a builtin thing with TrueNas Scale?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. Under the hood, it just uses "rclone crypt" functionality. It's a little hard to find, it's all the way down on the Cloud Sync Task setup but it's there.

Okay, cool. I'm also using rclone crypt and was always wondering how safe the encryption is in comparison to Cryptomator or Veracrypt
