  • As of now, i keep them basically for ever, but granularity gets less over time. (restic forget)

    Before you go nuts about files you want to exculde the “churn” as you said it, go ahead and actually check how much space this actually takes up. Text and especially logs are highly compressible and will most likely end up taking up almost no space.

    Be sure you backup everything you actually need, rather backup a file more then a file too less.










  • I use B2 for my restic Backup. Currently i have about 100GB stored there and it says i have about 100,000 files stored.

    With the adjusted calculation of the blog you posted for 10TB of 50KB files, adjusted to the mean file size of my restic repository 10 TB of 1MB files:

    Transaction fees: 10,000,000 / 10,000 x $0.004 = $4

    My Laptop has a mean file size of about 16 MB per file on the local restic repository.

    EDIT: Forgot a resume, i do not think you need to worry about it too much. But maybe verify the amount and type of data you want to backup and use calculators to calculate the real cost, also you can always test it by creating a test dataset and then do a backup and recovery scenario and then use this to derive an estimate.


  • As I said, when you know the exact path of a media item on the server then you can check if the item exists.

    If you choose a none standard filepath its not an issue.

    Should that be fixed yes.

    Whats the scenario? A law firm could brute force check all media items on open jellyfin servers? Highly illegal to exploit something like this in a lot of jurisdiction. And would also not proof the existence of the media on the server, just a file named like it.

    Mitigation? Just add another random letter in the docker-compose mount path.




  • 7.0-rc7 is probably due to the 7.0 release early mid april. So the fix was in the mainline on 1st of April. The commit on 11th from GKH was probably due to the release.

    I am not that familiar with the commit and release structure to get more into detail. But to me it clearly looks like the statement on copy.fail is correct, that the fix was in mainline on 1st of April.

    From my point of view, I would suggest that maybe the communication downstream to the distros was not handled that well? But who would be to blaim? The researches that would need to communicate this issue to most existing distros? Linux maintainers? Distro maintainers?

    Hard to say, without knowing the communication of the related mailinglists and disclousre etc.
