The main things that come to mind are you have to test/monitor 2 seperate actions instead of 1, and restores of single files could be more difficult since you need to login to the backup server, restore the file from a snapshot, then also copy that file back to your PC.

How does that get sent over rsync though? Wouldn’t you need snapshots on the remote destination server?

Why not just use a backup utility instead?

Yeah but then it’s not really a good backup!

Surely restic or borg would be better for backups?

Rsync can send files and not delete stuff, but there’s no versioning or retention settings.

Different tools for different use cases IMO.

But neither do backups.

Potentially an overheating NVMe drive maybe? They can run quite hot without a heat sink on them.

I’ve never had any issues with the old setup oddly enough, they talk like it barely functions lol

The app let’s you see/search all your photos, I have a ton of photos not on my phone.

Correct yeah, you’d still need a way on the host to check if the mount is ready though before starting the service. Or you could just do a fixed delay time.

For subdirectories it’s more complex as each application needs to be configured properly too, so you’ll need to go into transmission and tell it what subdirectory you’re using.

Or switch to subdomains as that just works without any extra config, and still let’s you use one port for everything.

You should be able to modify the docker service to wait until a mount is ready before starting. That would be the standard way to deal with that kind of thing.

Sonarr doesn’t do any downloading, so that’s why it doesn’t specifically need a VPN.

One workaround is open a second checking account (or use buckets in your main account if your bank has those) and transfer the money there temporarily until the card payment is due.

Am I missing something? There’s no mention of doing it wrong or insisting they not use credit cards. Just a suggestion that would solve the issue from the bank changes…

There is barely any overhead with a Linux VM, a Debian minimal install only uses about 30MB of RAM! As an end user i find performance to be very similar with either setup.

I run debian on everything, so I set up unattended-upgrades for security updates and basically forget about it. Docker updates are also automatic with Komodo, just make sure databases are pinned to a major version.

For monitoring my services I use Uptime Kuma, and get an alert if a service goes down so I can fix it.

Been pretty solid for years now. Things get rebooted every month or two when I do a Proxmox upgrade and reboot the host.

In the case of these ones you just remove the LXC/VM it created.

Install Debian as a server with no GUI, install docker on it and start playing around.

You can use Komodo or Portainer if you want a webUI to manage containers easily.

If you put any important data on it, set up backups first, follow the 3-2-1 rule by having at least 2 backups in place.

The problem with stuff like yunohost is when it breaks you have no idea how to fix it, because it hides everything in the background.

You can move files and continue seeding, just tell the torrent client where the new location is.

Sounds like NFS might still be the way to go for you.

For backups personally I use Restic and connect over SFTP via SSH, since that’s just built in and doesn’t need any configuration.

For more traditional file sharing I use WebDAV with SFTPGo, since I need windows and android compatibility too, and webdav is pretty easy to setup and use.

And I also use Syncthing for keeping some directories in sync between devices.
