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.

Encrypt before backing it up remotely.
Not sure that really works for git though... at least with regards to it's primary usage.
git isn't just a backup... it's about version control.
IE the point is if you know what you are doing, you realize this function isn't working in this edge case, you can search through and find out, when did this part of this file change... and what was it before, and it will basically find exactly that.
If you encrypted it so that git couldn't actually read the contents, then you basically reduced a crazy powerful tool, into a glorified dropbox. (IE yeah you could revert back to previous versions... but you'd basically be counting on your memory for what you changed when, if the git server can't read the files).
Good point and teaches me to be too quick to respond. Cheers!
