You try borg?

Glad whatever guide I was using gave me the redirects for caddy and have had no issues with Nextcloud.

Their uptime is still really impressive

Wow thank you for the detailed response. After reading through it i think I agree with raid 10 being my best option. Gonna start reading into it more and how to set it up! These hard drives aren’t new so being safe against at least one drive failure sounds safe. Can easily replace one if it goes out. Hopefully 2 don’t go out at the same time but it looks like I potentially will still be safe if so.

RAID is something I haven’t learned yet but really should.

My server has 4 4TB hard drives. Sounds like I could do RAID10 and only have 4TB of storage. Or RAID5 and 8TB?

Right now I have no raid. 1/4 of my hard drives has about 700GB of data and is movie and shows. 2/4 hard drive has 91GB and is photos and cloud data. 3/4 is blank and 4/4 is borg backups from my desktop and server and second hard drive currently at 120GB. My media drive has no backups right now and is not really being used.

It sounds like I could put all of my data on hard drive 1 which will only be about 1TB and then have RAID so that data is secure.

I would like having 8TB storage with raid 5. But maybe raid 10 is smarter and if I want more storage I’ll have to get more drives.

From what I can see they are totally different finance apps. Actual is basically YNAB. Where firefly is not much of a budget tool more of a finance manager. I stopped using firefly for now but still using actual. As soon as they finish work on bank linking I think it’s going to be the perfect zero budgeting tool

Right. And it looks so similar to datadog which I already use at work.

Decided to just start with Netdata. Looks interesting! Got it running on my server and desktop.

Basically what you said. It seems really cool with a lot of potential. But too early to say. Someone else suggested this I might try : https://davideshay.github.io/groceries/

Someone else mentioned some other grocery / recipe apps on my post but now I can’t find it. I know Nextcloud has one.

Ohhh yeah we definitely are. I think what you are referring to is like snapshot backups I think. Which you are right I don’t believe rsync can do that without some major tweaking.

Thanks for clarifying now I’ll definitely check it out !

I also use my old gaming computer! Makes a perfect home server.

I haven’t tried it on Nextcloud yet but I do this already on home assistant with my girlfriend and I. We can basically replicate the iOS find my app with it.

Oh cool. I am using KitchenOwl and someone else on this post suggested a few recipe managers. I’ll definitely check out clementines (if I get it working haha)

For memos I never realized it doesn’t work offline. Thankfully it’s rare I am offline but that does worry me that when it does happen I won’t have access to my notes. I’ll definitely take a look at silver bullet!

Version control of docker compose files why the heck didn’t I think of that before lol. Would have helped me more than a few times. Going to get that setup as well.

Makes sense. I think I did use sync thing years ago when I was on android. Thankfully the only issues I’ve had with Nextcloud have been user error.

I haven’t got deep into using both yet but from what I’ve seen so far they are very different.

Actual is basically YNAB so if you’ve used that before you’ll be familiar with it. I am a current subscriber to YNAB and considering fully switching over to Actual.

Firefly iii is like an accounting program to manage all your finances and less about budget categories and giving every dollar a job. I personally don’t see my self using this much.

I am using KitchenOwl right now for recipe management. I haven’t gotten deep into it yet and I am intrigued to try something different. There was another one I was looking at that hadn’t been updated in a while so I just settled on KitchenOwl I’ll check those others out ! Which one is your preference?

Oh yeah 100% I had no problems with the cloudflare tunnel or anything. I just didn’t know much about Lemmy at the time and was having issues federating and that was an older version. I’m definitely going to look into hosting one again for me and my friends and probably mastodon too !

Hmm now you got me curious lol. I am newer to this so I could totally be wrong. I told it to make logs so I’ll have to check out the logs. I thought I remember it only backing up new / changed data and then deleting deleted data. I’ll have to look into it more !

Yeah that’s a good point. I don’t see why not. Thanks I’ll probably give it a shot.

My rsync does do incremental backups. But I will look into rdiff-backup!

What is clementines? I use memos for my note taking and has a real nice iOS app.

Paperless-ngx sounds nice. I’m so bad with physical papers and storing them so that could be big for me.

I use Nextcloud for my file syncing.

Gitea sounds cool if I get back into coding.

I haven’t played with the Nextcloud chat apps yet so not too sure. But I’ve heard a lot of people talk about “Jitsi” as a zoom alternative and planned to look into it.
