Comment on Moving db data (MariaDB) to NFS NAS Hello self-hosters! :) I’d like to tap in
INeedMana@piefed.zip 2 weeks ago 2nd DB would be on the NAS but its not being used by the app, so as long as it’s asynchronous writes, you should be okay
But then I have to maintain it too. And it will be using RAM that was supposed to only be for servicing RAID. On a platform where RAM can’t grow
For sure my setup will be growing and changing with time. But ATM this “prod” db lives only on laptop’s SSD
Personally, it sounds like you’re overengineering your setup. If it’s to learn then have fun! However, if its ‘prod’ and you care about the data then you should stick to prod tested architecture. You won’t find many people (if any at all) using inode notify to rsync a database on change.
Might be! It’s just that having a container like that feels easier than looking after bare-metal secondary db
Maybe I’ll just
pg_dumpduring Nextcloud maintenance window and get into BorgBackup putting the dumps on NAS? If I have to revive the db from the dead, I’ll probably just use the dump anyway, so that’s one hoop less
