  • I run proxmox, and proxmox backup server in a vm. PBS backup is encrypted locally, and I upload the backup to backblaze b2 using rclone in a cron job. I store the decryption key elsewhere

    It has worked ok for me. I also upload a heartbeat file, it is just a empty file with todays date (touch heartbeat), so that I can easily check when the last upload happened


  • When I have used nfs in the past, i have issues with different user ID. What is the best solution these days?

    After becoming a father last year, the time I have for tinkering is close to 0. I found it easiest to keep all the data in the same vm / lxc, pretty straight forward to maintain




  • I used to use LXC, and switched to VM since internet said it was better.

    I kinda miss the LXC setup. Day to day I don’t notice any difference, but increasing storage space in VM was a small pain compared to LXC. In VM I increased disk size through proxmox, but then I had to increase the partition inside VM.

    In LXC you can just increase disk size and it immediately is available to the containers




  • I set up a server with all my stuff on, and use syncthing for syncing my files, and self hosting for services. I mostly use vanilla configs for apps, and prefer distros with good defaults.

    Some time ago I switched to Bluefin, and stopped distro-hopping 😅
