RAID means that if a drive fails you don’t have some downtime while your backups restore. It depends on how you feel about waiting for that.

Wtf is this? Their website is awful.

$12 per mailbox is a crazy high price.

dockers volume storage is bloody annoying to backup

They’re just normal folders located in /var/lib/docker/volumes so you can back up that directory.

Backup for docker is no different than backing up anything else.

Volumes are located in /var/lib/docker/volumes by default, so just back up that directory with Restic or Borg, or something like Backrest if you want notifications and stuff handled for you.

Or you can do mount points to a directory instead of using volumes and back that up, but it’s really the same process.

Docker is generally the easiest to install and update, and won’t disturb other existing applications.

I’m confused because the article talks about self hosting on a VPS and how many self hosted services could stand up to legal action?

That sounds like it’s describing running a public service for others. Self-hosting IMO is running something for yourself, it doesn’t even need to be on the public internet 99% of the time.

Running a service for others is just plain old hosting.

It’s basically the minimum level of redundancy you should have for storing important data.

3 total copies, 2 different types of storage, 1 of them offsite.

Backups also need to be tested like twice a year or so, do a restore as a test (full if you can, but partial is something at least) and make sure the data is what you expect.

CasaOS is fine, but the downside of tools like it is you don’t really know what’s going on under the hood, so if/when something breaks it may be really hard to fix.

But if it works for you I don’t see a reason to change. Just make sure you’ve got reliable backups following the 3-2-1 rule.

You could do it with mdadm

ext4 and others too.

You can ignore the RAM usage, it’s just cache. It uses up to half your RAM by default but if other things need it zfs will just clear RAM for that to happen.

Sounds like your business needs to update their GPO to disable those features that aren’t useful for your business.

Except for disabling UAC, that’s basically like logging in and running everything as root on Linux.

There are also options that are open source, like OsmAnd+ or Organic Maps.

I’ve yet to come across one that doesn’t allow it, that’s a pretty important feature for anything listening on a port to have.

Throw the whole thing into a YAML linter: https://www.yamllint.com/ and see what it says. Likely a spacing/indent format error or something like that.

Make sure cloudflare proxy is disabled on that DNS record.

You can just change the port directly on the application for one of them.

Sure, but the cost of batteries is at the point where even with replacements every 10-15 years you’ll spend less than you would buying power from the grid.

All of them, plus storage batteries are under much less abuse and are different chemistry that lasts a lot longer.

Bluesky is a lot easier to use vs fediverse stuff, discovering stuff is also easier in my experience vs mastodon.
