Yep, Duplicacy to Backblaze B2 for me

Those demo examples are very impressive. I look forward to giving this a try.

I just tried xpipe out off the back of this post. What an amazing tool. It has a great looking interface with a bubch of features I didnt know I needed. I am inside my docker containers in about 3 clicks. Props to you crschnick, this will probably become my daily driver for homelab server administration. The one downside is it will make me lazier :)

I honestly don’t know what would happen, but I wouldn’t try it. Hard disks are sensitive things.

The HBA can definitely handle hot swapping, but I’m pretty sure you need a backplane for it to work. If I remember correctly, it needs the capacitors on the backplane’s PCB to allow for the power drain. I’m not sure those cables alone will do.

I have this HBA in my homelab server and was surprised to find it has two SAS controller in it. I can’t remember exactly what I had to do to flash it, but I needed to flash both controllers using an EFI prompt so they became one controller. It took an afternoon of research, but I eventually flashed both of them to IT mode and it worked as expected. I’m pretty sure this thread helped me at the time:

Good luck!

This caught me. I had to restore my instance from backup yesterday after loading the app and it not working. I use the fdroid version and it won’t be updated for a while…

Remember, always backup you data, kids.

I’ve been using a Zidoo Z9X for streaming local media. Not cheap, but very powerful and has a huge amount of features. It’ll play just about anything you throw at it, all locally.

Yep. When I first set up my instance, I couldn’t believe how slow it was. I set up redis using the Nextcloud documentation and its like butter now.
