I checked their page and I have now a personal license. I am going later to try to find out how it works, so we will see

That sounds like a crazy story to find out what the issue was. As I stated somewhere on the thread, ram is not the issue, and the APS are quite new (Aruba stuff that is 1 and a half year old). And the only situation I get this issues is with my phones in specific. I will probably use the smb solution stated before and see how is goes. If the thing still happens, then is hunting time

That is something I can totally do after I figure out this syncthing thing. Probably will use Borg backup but same principle applies

Finished an all nighter memtest with a total of 12 passes. All good on the ram side

That is some crazy story right there. I do know for a fact that memtest needs multiple passes. But in my case the machine only has 1 stick of ram (used to have 2, one died). I will probably do a memtest overnight and get at you tomorrow.

That is some good info here. My HDD is totally fine (checked it very recently actually), as for the ram last time I checked was ok, but can check again to be sure

Great question. I forgot to mention but at this point syncthing is only accessible on my WiFi at home. No VPN to it and no remote locations.

From what I see, kopia is for the desktop. Unless I didn't see something, it is not available for android, which is where more important to have backup in my case

Never tried unison or resilio can check. As for seafile, that is what I had before. At some point I realized I was getting several issues with desktop mostly, and the storage was only accessible from seafile wich in my case I am not OK with. Mostly was the inconsistencies between oses

I could try to do that, but I simply do not have reproducible steps that are certain to make the problem happen. I am a developer myself, and I absolutely despise when someone says 'hey, something random happened the other day. I cannot say what are the steps, but it is there' just to find out in the end nothing is there, or is simply not reproducible no matter what and for reasons that I might never find out

This is an interesting one, will check. Thanks! I do have some smb stuff already on the machine, so this might be an easier solution

From what I tried, next cloud just has so much clutter that makes the syncing part a bit of a slog. If that was rock solid with OK speeds, that would be nice. But there is somich stuff with it that I don't care and tries to enforce (like users and user groups) that I find just too much

 

Hi,

As the title suggests: what are alternatives to syncthing that are basically fire and forget, works on multiple device types, and just focuses on file syncing?

I've had over the months the weirdest problems with syncthing, and lately I noticed some of my photos got corrupted, which is an absolute no no for me. I use syncthing currently as a easy automatic backup of documents, photos and other files, between my PCs and my phones (they all send only to the server. Folders are not shared with other devices).

 

I have for a while a ubuntu server where I selfhost for my household syncthing (automatic backup of most important files on devices), baïkal, magic mirror and a few other things via docker.

I was looking at what I have now (leftovers of a computer of mine, amd 2600 with 16 gb ram with a 1660 super and a western digital blue ssd of 512GB), and regarding storage wise, at the time I decided to get several sort of cheap ssd's to have enough initial space (made a logical volume out of 3 crucial mx500 1TB, in total making 3TB). At the time I though I wanted to avoid regular hdd at all costs (knew people who had issues with it), but in hindsight, I never worked with NAS drives, so my fear over these hdd with such low usage is sort of uncalled for.

So now I am trying to understand what can I change this setup so I can expand later if needed, but also having a bit more space already (for the personal stuff I have around 1.5TB of data) and add a bit more resilience in case something happens. Another goal is to try to make a 3-2-1 backup kind of solution (starting with the setup at home, with an external disk already and later a remote backup location). Also, I will probably decommission for now the ssd's since I want to avoid to have a logical volumes (something happens on one drive, and puff all the data goes away). So my questions regarding this are:

  • For hdd's to be used as long term storage, what is usually the rule of thumb? Are there any recommendations on what drives are usually better for this?
  • Considering this is going to store personal documents and photos, is RAID a must in your opinion? And if so, which configuration?
  • And in case RAID would be required, is ubuntu server good enough for this? or using something such as unraid is a must?
  • I was thinking of probably trying to sell the 1660 super while it has some market value. However, I was never able to have the server completely headless. Is there a way to make this happen with a msi tomahawk b450? Or is only possible with an APU (such as 5600g)?

Thanks in advance

PS: If you guys find any glaring issues with my setup and know a tip or two, please share them so I can also understand better this selfhosted landscape :)
