  It’s a good thing it’s a virtual server. I can’t imagine the issues you would have if you hosted it from the back of your truck.

    Hosting from the back of a truck would be a technological marvel in its own right.

      It sounds like the plot of an action movie.

        “We have to keep this truck above 50mph at all cost” “OMG, IS IT GONNA EXPLODE?!” “Oh no much worse. It’ll ruin my server uptime stat.”

      It’s possible, but just expensive and unreliable mainly due to internet connection/bandwidth. Depending on where you are you can either go with a sim card or Elon’s space junk but the connection would be unreliable and slow.

      Sat internet would be the solution. Just costs a lot.

    Lmao I’m home every night now (local)

    I do host some things at my house, but just for personal use. I don’t need a public site running on my home network.

  I am an it guy and mine still goes down… Lol. Your doing great to get an instance going! That setup isn’t exactly non tech friendly.

  Mine went down yesterday because my backup job for my docker vols filled up my entire vps.

    I was starting to run into that until I moved pict-rs to object storage a few days back.

    I gzip the backups, keep one local, upload the rest to Backblaze. The local one gets deleted before the next backup starts.

      Oh that’s genius, you got any good docs on doing that?

      • bdonvr@thelemmy.club ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        On the backups or the object storage?

        For the backups I have these bash scripts (the pict-rs one takes much less time now that I use object storage so the images aren’t on the server): gist.github.com/…/5d4e56dadcb29de656368a1cb78cc00…

        You can look at rclone’s docs on how to hook that into B2. I also set up a crypt in rclone so it encrypts it as it uploads (optional).

        Then just put those on cron jobs at different times, I do them every 6 hours. One at <hour>:15 and one at <hour>:45

        Then in B2 I set the bucket to keep files for 10 days.

        To migrate to object storage check pict-rs docs here: git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs.git#user-content-fi…

        Took about 20 minutes for me with 30gb of files, but your instance has to be down for it.

  My dude, if you’re renting and running a VPS you’re an IT guy.
