Mostly not being dependent from a specific vendor, that’s all.

I prefer to use a VPS of my choice that I can replace when I want or need to.

As far as its backed by wireguard its safe enough I guess.

Stop spreading FUD. Syncthing for Android is very well supported and, while the official client will not have updates, there are other clients that are actively developed.

Sorry third post. Trying to summarize.

1. Get external access. Either via port-forward (you lucky American) or via VPS+ssh-tunnel or VPS+wireguard. Stay away from an hard dependency like tailscale and cloudflare (my personal opinion).

2. Setup a reverse proxy with SSL certs via let’s Encrypt (don’t go wildcard, no need to, just add complexity)

That’s the concept, implementation requires clearly extra steps…

See my wiki (https://wiki.gardiol.org/). O describe both the simple and the complex solution. But to be honest, the complex solution is not fully described yet.

If you need also external access, because you are behind a CGNAT or in general have no public IP at all, get a VPS and setup some tunneling.

I don’t like tailscale/cloudflare dependency so I have a different solution.

I have documented it all here: https://wiki.gardiol.org/

Slap a good reverse proxy in front of it (nginx I what I use) and set it up with HTTPS using let’s Encrypt. For added layer of security setup also some SSO like Authelia.

Or just go the VPN way but then, that will not be access from internet, only via VPN, only you will be accessing it.

Thanks, good to know alternatives to Lemmy.world!

Nothing against .world, but variety and alternatives are the gist of lemmy.

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!

10 years? Boy you are joung :)

I have encrypted files from w 20 years ago, and unencrypted files from 30 years ago.

And digitized stuff from analogic of 40 and 50 years ago.

That is true for lots of things.

Moreover I use one easy “default” password for all basic stuff, and its always the same known to my spouse and written down on paper.

At least my offsite backups are protected from prying eyes. Maybe uneeded for local backups, but doesn’t hurt to have.

Why would you want password less backups?

I understand if the reason is ‘just because’, but seriously, why? I just write down the password in a text file for restic --password and I am done.

I use gentoo: I only install what I like/want/need…

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
