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 currently use rclone to do encrypted backups to iDrive e2 currently, but I’m concerned about the concept of “syncing isn’t a backup”, since as others have already said here, you can sync corrupted files, accidental deletions, etc. without more than a single snapshot. I’m considering something like Backrest with e2 because I like the idea of something that is opinionated and that “just works” when it comes to backups.
Edit:
Fair point that it may stop being maintained, though that could also be the case with rclone; less likely though still possible with rsync.
