Not sure what your preferred platform is but I’ve had great success connecting to my Calibre-web site with Yomu on iOS.

Moving from Cloudflare tunnels for media streaming, first plan didn't work out due to double NAT in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Maybe using a tailscale funnel would be a good option for you? I use one for a webdav setup to get around CF's 100mb limit on uploads when clients won't chunk their data properly. It was fairly easy to set up and works perfectly.

Backup compose and env files in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

That is an option I've been thinking about but I've never used it, I'm not a dev. Maybe I'll look at it more seriously since it does sound like what would work best, I'd really apprecieate the versioning. Thanks!

In my particular case I only have a few .env files and they don't have any credentials in them. This is mostly for the docker-compose files.

Backup compose and env files (lemmy.world)

Just curious if there is an easy way to back up my docker-compose.yaml and .env files. I have the following directory structure for my containers:

-docker
  -<name of container>
    -.env
    -docker-compose.yml

I'd like to copy those two files for each container folder but no other subfolders that may also be in the container folder (config, data, etc). I've been trying to get my restic backups to do it but I just can't figure it out.

Is there a better way? I'd like to have backups in case my entire server dies.

UPDATE: Thank you all for the advice, I'm giving git a try and so far so good!

How do you like to transfer large files between friends across the internet? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I literally just set up a container for Erugo for this exact thing. It worked perfectly and was super easy to do. It's just a self-hosted version of wetransfer. Could be helpful...
