Do you use garage for backups by any chance? I was wanting to deploy it in kubernetes, but one of my uses would be to back up volumes, and… that doesn’t really help me if the kubernetes cluster itself is broken somehow and I have to rebuild it.
I kind of want to avoid a separate cluster for storage or even separate vms. I’m still thinking of deploying garage in k8s, and then just using rclone or something to copy the contents from garage s3 to my nas
I did actually consider a 3rd cluster for infra stuff like dns/monitoring/etc, but at the moment I have those things in separate vms so that they don’t depend on me not breaking kubernetes.
Do you have your actual public services running in the public cluster, or only the load balancer/ingress for those public resources?
Also how are you liking garage so far? I was looking at it (instead of minio) to set up backups for a few things.
Unraid has this with their cache pools. ZFS can also be configured to have a cache drive for writes.
You can also DIY with something like mergerfs and separate file systems.
Eh while it sucks, registrars and web hosts get so many abuse reports that sometimes they just err on the side of caution and don’t investigate as thoroughly as you’d like.
Of course it also depends a lot on various things like what type of complaint, how much money you spend with them, account history, complaint source, etc.
They should be able to tell you what they had a problem with and give you a chance to fix it.
Self cleaning? Is it something you made or what’s the name is it? I’d be interested in details either way
I really want a fancier water fountain for my cats but never found a self cleaning one :(
Uptime Kuma is great for simple up/down and web checks. Librenms is worth looking at too for other metrics.
The only time rsync is really slow is when your dealing with millions of small files since it only transfers a single file at a time.
rclone is better in that respect since it transfers multiple files in parallel. I don’t think the speed of a single transfer is going to differ much.
If you’re wanting something that keeps historical data, vnstat is another good one for network usage
Nothing wrong with that, Caddy is great!
Dumb question but what do you mean you cycled them a few times?
Thanks for linking it, that’s a pretty cool idea.
Any idea if there’s a fork of Nomad and Consul?
Any idea how Homebox compares to Grocy? I want to try both, but gave up on trying to use snipe-it a while back because of the effort needed to input everything. Both of these look simpler though
OpenBao is the open source fork of Vault
Do you have any reasons for wanting to switch your server OS, or is it more to learn something new? Either way is fine, but it might change what is more interesting to you.
I used centos forever, but only recently started slowly migrating everything to NixOS. I use NixOS for the OS and a few common things like VPN, monitoring, etc. For all of my actual services, I deploy them using Hashicorp Nomad with docker.
I’m not sure i would recommend defining docker containers using NixOS. It’d be fine for a couple servers, but not great for a cluster where services can move around.
From your list, I’d go with hetzner. Racknerd is another good cheap option.
Also check out lowendtalk or lowendbox. Various providers post deals there petty often and the community is active.
I like rsync.net. They offer reduced pricing for using restic/borg too.
I’m not sure how many years I’ve used them, but I never had any issues. The speeds also seem better than at least b2.
Not built in, but maybe a tool like windmill, nodered, or n8n? I think they all support imap and can run on a timer
Restic and rsync.net. look around and there should be a discount usually.
Kopia is also pretty good and has a web interface if that’s helpful for you.
Any comparisons to SilverBullet.md? It’s my favorite so far
