HelloRoot
I tried that once and it takes way longer to run a backup. I forgot ehy exactly, something with running the comparisons against everything.
I have 2 powered RAID enclosures from icybox with 2 multi TB HDD in each one. The RAID is set to mirror the drives.
They are connected via usb 3 to a raspberry pi which runs borgbackup.
One is in my own place, just next to the main server.
The other is at my parents place in another city.
All my desktops, laptops and servers have borgmatic installed with the two pi's as two targets. So when I create a backup it gets send to both locations. On my PCs I manually do a borg backup like once a month when I feel like it. The server computers are all on a daily schedule.
Borg has extremely efficient compression and defuplication. So having 20 historical snapshots of the whole file storage of each device takes about 30% less space than the original size on disk.
For example my desktop currently uses ~800GB but the borgbackup of said desktop takes only ~500GB.
The only disadvantage I find is that there is no cross system deduplication.
The super useful advantage is that I was able to just take the HDD enclosure, plug it into my Desktop and restore whatever files I want. I did an rsync to a blank fs once and it restored everything properly. And it's pretty cheap. like 150$ total per backup location without any significant monthly costs.
I used hetzners storagebox for a while for borgbackups but restoring from it was SO SLOW. And my internet connection is not stable enough to do that without interruptions for multiple days. Never again, except for using it as an extra last resort "cloud" backup.
~~I feel like by "scaling" they mean upgradability. So either vertical (adding more drives, ram, cpu) or horizontal (adding more boxes that loadbalance an increase of multiple parallel tasks/users)~~ hahaha ooops
afaik the Ruhr Universiry of Bochum has an intranet that connects the uni and all the dorms. And they selfhost a couple of services, like email, git and pastebin. You can see a line going to the dorms on the graph.
you bought one? Like in - one time payment with infinite time ownership?
my 2 old phones (usb c) were both replaced because of hardware issues.
one has a broken power button that is constantly detected as being randomly spam pressed, so as soon as it gets power if it ever manages to boot it either reboots itself or tries to call emergency services.
the other has a flaky usb c that constantly connects and disconnects unless you hold it at a specific angle and the battery is like a minute away from meltdown - it can hold charge for a couple minutes.
I'd be afraid to leave either plugged in.
I guess the article is for people that buy a new phone yearly out of fashion, not need.
How is it a map and not a list?
Like, are the containers related somehow?
If you just want to know whats running, there are a ton of docker autoexplore dashboard out there. But I don't think they output a map, just a list.
Start by searching for how to selfhost a photo storage backup. There are multiple ways to do it and the decision depends on your circumstances and preferences, which only you know.
