Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Makes sense.
I'm more interested in cutting off-site backup costs, so my NAS has RAID mirror to reduce chance of total failure, and offsite backup only stores important data. I don't even backup the bulk of it (ripped movies and whatnot), just the important data.
Restore from backup looks like this for my NAS:
Personal devices are similar, but installing packages is manual (perhaps I'll backup my explicitly stored package list or something to speed it up a little). Setup takes longer than your method, but I think it's worth the reduced storage costs since I've never actually needed to do it and a few hours of downtime is totally fine for me.
