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:

  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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I recently noticed that my nextcloud instance was missing photos. I have the android app set to automatically upload my photos. When I need to clear up space on my phone, I make a separate backup (because I'm a paranoid SOB and hard drives are relatively cheap). I noticed that nextcloud auto upload missed about 10% of the photos. I'm not going to bash the nextcloud devs, as I recognize that I am using a free product and am owed nothing, but I'm making this post so others are aware of this risk. Apparently I'm not alone https://help.nextcloud.com/t/android-client-does-not-auto-upload-all-images/216849/14

Thanks but the goal is to sync with the "cloud", for backup in case of fire or something.

I have hundreds (thousand ?) of albums I need to backup. I can reencode them cause 98% are on CD, but if I loose both my computers and my CDs, I'm done :/

I only use cloud backup for music and the few photos I take with my phone so I don't really need real-time syncing.

I sync to TrueNAS scale with photosync and then I sync scale with back blaze b2

Would a safety deposit box at a bank be an appropriate option for your off-site backups?
