Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? (lemmy.nocturnal.garden)

With the recent discussions around replacing Spotify with selfhosted services and the possibilities to obtain the music itself, I've been finally setting up Navidrome. I had to do quite a bit of reorganization to do with my existing collection (beets helping a ton) but now it's in a neatly organized structure and I'm enjoying it everywhere. I get most of my stuff from Bandcamp but I have a big catalog from when I've still had a large physical collection.

I'm also still working on my docker quasi gitops stack. I've cleaned up my compose files and put the secrets in env files where I hadn't already, checked them into my new forgejo instance and (mostly) configured renovate. Komodo is about to get productive but I couldn't find the time yet. Also I need to figure out how to check in secrets in a secure way. I know some but I haven't tried those with Komodo yet. This close of my fully automated update-on-merge compose stacks!

I've also been doing these for quite a while and decided to sometimes post them in !selfhosting@slrpnk.net to possibly help moving a bit from the biggest Lemmy instance, even though this community as it is is perfectly fine as well as it seems.

What's going on on your servers? Anything you are trying to pursue at the moment?

Just sitting here surprised that my proxmox backups didn't interrupt my VMs.

O.o Should I be concerned that this is surprising?

[–] hobbsc@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't believe there's cause for concern. I just assumed based on the prompts while setting up the backups that it would actually restart the VMs. I was wrong.

I understand that COW file-systems can do snapshots at "instantaneous" points in time and KVM snapshots ram state as well, but I still worry that a database could be backed up at just the wrong time and be in an inconsistent state at restore. I'd rather do less frequent backups of a stopped VM and be more confident it will restore and boot correctly. Maybe I'm a curmudgeon?

I suppose it boils down to a threat model. I wouldn't lose sleep if any of my VMs imploded and I had to rebuild them from scratch.
