  • Machine B is not publicly reachable though.

  • I don't think they have handles, like books, they're more like posts so you need the URL. I think, in activitypub, handles are for actors.

    Cool list! I'll check it out

  • You can search for solarpunk, the results have a list tab. (OP is not the creator of the list)

  • That should work! I'll have to make sure it only syncs one direction but that's doable of course

  • Thanks, I'll have a look!

  • One machine is a cloud VM with LVM I think, the other is my NAS with zfs. I think with zfs to zfs it would easily work!

  • I do have a someserver, but it's a fediverse instance with around 60 monthly active users, and the server provider is more reliable than my ISP at home, so any downtime has a bit more impact. There's also another admin who needs access. Not saying never, but at the moment I'm just looking for a different backup solution, moving the whole thing has some more aspects to consider.

    The data would only be copied once a day. I have to check the limits though, good point.

  • It's a VPS and I don't want to increase the monthly cost - in fact I want to decrease it by disabling the backups the hoster offers. Machine B is my NAS at home.

    Of course, incremental would be preferable, but I'm not sure how that would work in that constellation.

    I wonder if I can compress to B directly. Maybe I could mount a volume from B into A via wireguard and nfs, now that I think about it.

    Backing up across machines with low free space?

  • I vaguely remember those issues too, but not exactly what it was. Just that they stopped using those flags.

  • No I think that's the best way to do it. Strongly depends on the country you're in, what kind of legal constructs it allows, but having some organization that's in the contract instead of some person is the way to go. That org can then handle votings etc (can even use the instance for that).

  • It's a fun idea and there's similar ideas, but in the end, someone always has to be in the contract of the server provider or host the infrastructure at home and is basically the admin overlord. That person is also liable if illegal stuff shows up.

  • I don't know if it has side effects when there's issues with mounting or the like.

    It would also interfere if you want to unmount it and forget to disable the cronjob.

  • What's your point? That it's fine he's gonna be executed?

  • You can run mount -a to mount all fstab entries. You could put that in a cronjob I guess

  • Both is fine. Maintaining different datasets has the administrative overhead you mentioned, but can have security benefits, e.g. if you use different users in the different docker services and adjust the NFS permissions correspondingly. If service A gets hacked and escapes the container but doesn't get privilege escalation, it can't access the other services' data.

    This is independent of which version you choose, but check whether adding some storage to Proxmox is an option. Having TrueNAS as a runtime dependency for all your services can get annoying real quick.
