I like the approach of ci pipelines just running a make command or at least a script, so that it’s easy to run locally too before pushing the changes up.

Do you put the version in each commit? That seems painful

Self cleaning? Is it something you made or what’s the name is it? I’d be interested in details either way

I really want a fancier water fountain for my cats but never found a self cleaning one :(

Uptime Kuma is great for simple up/down and web checks. Librenms is worth looking at too for other metrics.

The only time rsync is really slow is when your dealing with millions of small files since it only transfers a single file at a time.

rclone is better in that respect since it transfers multiple files in parallel. I don’t think the speed of a single transfer is going to differ much.

One problem is the lack of alternative transport options. In most of the US, public transport just isn’t a thing. And things are too far apart for cycling to be efficient for commutes, grocery shopping, etc.

I hope that changes some day though.

If you’re wanting something that keeps historical data, vnstat is another good one for network usage

Nothing wrong with that, Caddy is great!

Dumb question but what do you mean you cycled them a few times?

Thanks for linking it, that’s a pretty cool idea.

Any idea if there’s a fork of Nomad and Consul?

Any idea how Homebox compares to Grocy? I want to try both, but gave up on trying to use snipe-it a while back because of the effort needed to input everything. Both of these look simpler though

OpenBao is the open source fork of Vault

Do you have any reasons for wanting to switch your server OS, or is it more to learn something new? Either way is fine, but it might change what is more interesting to you.

I used centos forever, but only recently started slowly migrating everything to NixOS. I use NixOS for the OS and a few common things like VPN, monitoring, etc. For all of my actual services, I deploy them using Hashicorp Nomad with docker.

I’m not sure i would recommend defining docker containers using NixOS. It’d be fine for a couple servers, but not great for a cluster where services can move around.

From your list, I’d go with hetzner. Racknerd is another good cheap option.

Also check out lowendtalk or lowendbox. Various providers post deals there petty often and the community is active.

I like rsync.net. They offer reduced pricing for using restic/borg too.

I’m not sure how many years I’ve used them, but I never had any issues. The speeds also seem better than at least b2.

Not built in, but maybe a tool like windmill, nodered, or n8n? I think they all support imap and can run on a timer

Restic and rsync.net. look around and there should be a discount usually.

Kopia is also pretty good and has a web interface if that’s helpful for you.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll take a look at some of his videos. I managed to get the un/pw on one page, but haven’t done much with webauthn/passwordless stuff yet so that might be useful too.

Thanks! I managed to get user/pass on the same page and it works great with the compatibility mode
