I'd do it like this:

  • borg backup

  • (optional) borgmatic for easier use, but a diy shell script might suffice

  • (optional) https://github.com/Ravinou/borgwarehouse for easier gui based "serverside" setup on each location

  • (if you have no way to reach the servers from the internet yet) set up dyndns for each location so you can reach them by domain

  • might need to setup portforwarding rules in the router of each location

You can do that with caddy as well.

tldr:

  • life, work, family reasons for one of the guys. Nothing negative, he just has no time for the podcast anymore but will show up in their linux podcast from time to time in the future.

But the joke doesn't work if you are pedantic.

The one we are currently in I assume.

Proxima Centauri is pretty weird with it's three gravitationally bound suns (Alpha Centauri A and B), who would set up alerrs for that?

What I did is set up a NAS at my parents house, which I can log into as well for near zero cost offsite backups.

And at home I have a couple of local drives with borgbackups.

This keeps backups efficient since you can ask the filesystem to only send the changes instead of going over all the files and figuring out what has changed, so it’s probably a lot faster.

Aaaah!

I use borg with borgmatic. I just back up / (which includes home) and exclude some folders I don't want (like /mnt or /tmp).

It does the same as you just said.

I have 20 borg snapshots of my nearly full 1tb drive which takes about 400gb of space on my NAS.

I do it at the file structure level, not at the block device level as the article suggests. Why would I want to back it up at the block device level instead?

[–] HelloRoot@lemy.lol 2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

You misunderstood my question, because what you said is true either way with borg.

The question is, what is the advantage of backing up the whole subvolume "block device" vs just / file structure.

[–] HelloRoot@lemy.lol 5 points 2 weeks ago (11 children)

I don't really understand the advantage of backing up the whole btrfs volume.

I've recently looked into https://github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii because it has autoimport for my banks API.

It uses mariadb by default and the GUI looked relatively simple.

Whether it fits your needs depend on your budgeting method.

note: this is pretty much temporary until we get first class support for Traefik

They seem to be working on a traefik middleware, but in the meantime there is a guide to set it up manually with traefik.
