Thanks for the podman restart suggestion!

healthchecks.io seems not free or at least, very not open?

Nice tool! Simple to setup and pretty lightweight. It seems it cannot restart services tough, not monitor them specifically…

First copy on offline USB disk on my server itself. Disk is turned on, backup done, disk goes off. Once a day.

Second copy on a USB drive connected to an OpenWRT router of my home, the furthest away from the server (in case of fire, I could be able to grab either of the two).

Third copy offsite on a VPS.

I use restic & backrest with great satisfaction.

Amazing, thanks, will try it out!

True as well, impossible to find a note on Joplin using only the filesystem.

Beware of Joplin: saved files ate not native MD files. They have MD extension but internally are quite different.

Still plain text files in a way, but not usable with a different editor easily.

+1 for Silverbullet too!

Paired with markor on android and syncrhing is my to go solution.

I could use silverbullet on android directly as well but for some reason I prefer a native editor there.

Only the one written by the original Dev. There are others like syncthing fork.

Its still a perfectly viable solution for android.

My solution is Silverbullet.md on web, syncthing + native markdown editor (Markor on Android). - yes sincthing is still very well alive on android, there is at least one android client still actively developed AFAIK.

Because Joplin is (IMHO) slow and does not store notes in plain markdown but its own format, even if it’s called .MD, it’s not markdown.

Also, silverbullet.md is really something unique, worth trying even if a bit more nerdy.

Hi!

I remember I had issues in setting it up. IIRC there was a problem with a too long URL that you where supposed to copy & paste in the browser… And I took me a few tries until I figured that out.

Beside this, I don’t remember if that was the same issue…

Maybe you can post the full trace (with redacted credentials)?

You can pm me of course

I purchased a firewall appliance with 4 ports and installed opnsense on it. Best decision of my self-hosted life.

Get one with two 10gbps ports and you are set. Passive cooled, small factor, Intel atom CPU. 4gb ram is plentiful.

On aliexpress can be found for 100€ or little more.

Even much better than an OpenWRT, which I love and use but delegate to internal network (WiFi access points) rather than perimetral defense.

Has docker compose file for deployment

Can be hosted on sub-path and not only subdomain

Can easily be integrated into SSO lime authelia

That’s why you should always use them as jbod and setup Linux software raid (or zfs raid? Not familiar) directly.

Never go without a raid… Not a good idea in any case.

As for heat, I used jbod enclosures with fan, anything with more than 2 drives should have one, or don’t bother.

I wouldn’t go with single drive enclosures (even if I did for 10 years) as better not to cheap out on this matter. A 4 x 10€ cheap enclosure might be tempting, but shilling out 100€ for a nice actively cooled 4-disk jbod is a much better choice. Then go sw raid on top of it.

Yes there is someone talking everybody down about USB enclosures*.

Maybe he got burned or something…

Can say never had an issue and I replaced many motherboards over 20 years, and also many enclosures.

Don’t go too cheap, but don’t worry too much. I highly recommend a raid setup anyway. And always do backups, bit this is unrelated to USB specifically

• not referring to op or the other comment specifically, just noticed in general somebody always negative about USB on all posts lime this.

I used USB enclosures for my RAIDs for over 20 years. The turning point has been usb3 and then usb-c even better, but I found really no difference as in the bottleneck where the mechanical drives.

Moved to an all internal sata setup a few months back because I upgraded the space and moved to a desktop form factor.

Can still recommend the USB approach tough.

BUY A QUALITY EBCLOSURE.

I always used Linux software raid, but purchased a 4 slots USB raid/jbod enclosure to keep the number of used USB ports down.

I never ever had issues with the setup, but I purchased a known-brand enclosure, one with also e-SATA, which unfortunately was/is more a fad than even been really used.

I am doing split tunnel since years without knowing :)

Thanks, I learned something new.

Can you detail the split tunnel part?

I did ru my nas over USB for 20 years. Never had an issue. But I never had more than 6 USB drives and 2 or 3 USB network Ethernet card tough.

All with Linux software raid.

Switched to a full desktop case and now enjoying internal sata.

Wireguard or ssh tunnel with port forwards, both works.

Yeah, there are workarounds… And who knows, maybe its just safer than public ip… But definitely require some external fixture.
