  • Proxmox Backup

    I’m using Proxmox Backup Server for my local daily backups.
    But for external cloud backup, it’s 5 GB for docker config + persistent data vs. 60GB for the complete LXC containers. So it’s more convenient to just backup the data to the cloud that you really need for an emergency-restore.

    Uptime Kuma

    I try to minimize the number of applications that have access to the docker.socket, as this can be a high potential security risk (e.g. a malicious container update because of a hacked github account) .

    If I can achieve the same goal with just a simple bash script and without additional software, it’s the better solution for me :)





  • My backup strategy:

    Data:
    - Sycnthing with 1x Copy with my Clients and 1x Copy on my Server accessible via Nextcloud
    - Daily Push-Backup with of my Nextcloud-Data-Folder via Kopia to Backblaze
    - Daily Pull-Backup of my Nextcloud-Data-Folder via QNAP-NAS in the basement

    VM:
    - Daily Backup of my VM’s to a Proxmox Backup Server running on QNAP-NAS
    - Daily Backup of my VM’s to BackBlaze (but encrypted before)

    Still, I’m not fan of having just one Cloud-Backup. So I think I will also get Hetzner Cloud Storage for Borg Backup additional to Kopia.

    Goal:
    - Different Hardware (Server, QNAP, etc.)
    - Different Backup software (Syncthing, Kopia, Borg)
    - Different Backup technique (Push, Pull, Snapshots)
    - Different Locations







  • My journey:

    Joplin -> Trilium Notes -> Logseq -> Obsidian

    I find Obsidian the most powerfull, because of the PlugIn system and full compatiblity with Android and iPad.

    And I realized, it’s a stupid idea to have a “knowledge base” in a Docker setup, if you need this knowledge base also for debugging or reinstall your Homelab. So the local installation of Obsidian togeter with Synchting gives you always access to your knowledge, even if the server are down.

    However, none of the above have collaborate features. But don’t need it.
