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.

I use restic in combination with rsync.
Two days ago, I tried to setup unbound and fucked up my Nextcloud instance on the same host.
Restic restored /opt, /etc, /home and /var and then I used rsync to divvy them all out. For some reason, restic didn't recognize the --delete flag so, rsync it was.
Reboot, waited 3 minutes, reload, there's my Nextcloud login screen. Database cleaned up using occ commands and I'm back.
My restic repo sits on my main NAS, and a copy of it on another system. It holds all of my host's aforementioned directories for easy setup and restore from either bad luck or dumb ideas.
...usually dumb ideas.
