It’s not that difficult. You can create a second VM from the backup with a few clicks and move the necessary data with scp.

I’m sure they are glad they are protected from the free information war and that you, in true solidarity, are decidedly not helping them to gain free information access. 🫡
- Comment on Plan for my first homeserver 1 day ago:
Not wrong, just saying that every Vaultwarden client is a backup basically since they cache everything and it doesn’t expire.
- Comment on TOR asking to run snowflake to help Iranians with internet access 2 days ago:
Wtf are you talking about, nobody is climbing anywhere. By running snowflake, you are offering a piece of infrastructure that other people can use, it’s not specific to the Iran. They can’t install it themselves if the local internet is censored, that’s the whole point of this.
- Comment on TOR asking to run snowflake to help Iranians with internet access 2 days ago:
It’s the best we have. What’s your specific problem with it?
- Comment on TOR asking to run snowflake to help Iranians with internet access 3 days ago:
Ofc! But since this is the selfhosting community I figured the Docker thing would be more practical. My laptop with the browser isn’t always on.

- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 1 week ago:
You need a reserve proxy. That’s a piece of software that takes the requests and puts them toward the correct endpoint.
You need to create port forwards in the router and direct 80 and 443 (or whatever you’re using) toward the host of the reverse proxy and that is listening to on those ports. If it recognized the requests are for nas.your.domain, it will forward the requests to the NAS.
Common reverse proxies are nginx or caddy. You can install it on your raspberry, it doesn’t need it’s own device.
If you don’t want that, you can create different port forwards on your router (e.g. 8080 and 8443 to the Raspi) and configure your service on the Raspi corresponding. But it doesn’t scale well and you’d need to call everything with the port and the reverse proxy is the usual solution.
- Comment on Is chachara.club down? 1 week ago:
I can open the website. What exactly are you trying to achieve? Are you in some app?
- Comment on The hidden cost of self-hosting 1 week ago:
Yeah I think of it the other way round: I couldn’t get myself to organize them without combining it with a nice selfhosted tool. The goal is getting my stuff organized, the cost is doing work, which includes setting up a system. I can cheat on the cost a little by including a fun project in the cost part.
I do think there’s a hidden cost in selfhosting though and it’s maintenance. Fortunately, there’s selfhosted tools that help with that too :-)
- Comment on The hidden cost of self-hosting 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t that the goal? If you have an old drawer full of unorganized stuff, implementing a selfhosted management tool is getting an organizer and thinking about how to fill it, but you still have to sort your stuff in.
The only selfhosted thing where I really have to re-organize is my documents in paperless but I’m so glad to finally have it all organized and searchable instead of some hot mess of an inconsistent folder structure.
- Comment on Fresh Proxmox install w/ full disk encryption—so install Debian first, then Proxmox on top? 2 weeks ago:
I used to do this. Didn’t know the tutorial but used this part of the documentation: pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Installation
I switched to have an unencrypted proxmox partition and have all VM disks on an encrypted partition, mostly to have reboot working.
- Comment on Anyone else going basic with their NAS? 2 weeks ago:
My NAS ist almost exclusively backups. Just installed TrueNAS to have a GUI for ZFS and NFS.
- Comment on We have to solve the money problem! 2 weeks ago:
The reason is easy: one likes the fediverse, wants to contribute for it and wants to enabled people to use it even if they can’t afford to pay for it.
On a smaller scale, that’s not much of a problem. I’m glad I can host for some people who don’t have money at all. Some of the others donate and some don’t and that’s fine as well.
- Comment on Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
“Stranglehold” lmao. They invented the threadiverse and they are welcoming other implementations like mbin and piefed. That’s the opposite of a stranglehold.
Go cancel yourself

Solarpunks can have a little downtime, as a treat
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 5 weeks ago:
Idk, you can probably ask the owner via the shop

The latter, it’s all 3D printed rackmounts

That sounds like a good opportunity for offsite backup!
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 5 weeks ago:
Thanks!
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, couldn’t resist the sticker :D
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 5 weeks ago:
They are connected to the mini PC below. This mainboard has 4 connectors.
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 5 weeks ago:
Yeah maybe I’ll try to fit in some faster Ethernet adapters at some point, but currently it’s mostly just the daily VM snapshots and since those are automated, the speed isn’t that important anyways. Just in case of a potential recovery.
Offsite backup at some family member’s place is planned at some point as well, but not fully thought through yet.
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 5 weeks ago:
No, WAN is the family lan. It’s connected to one of the actual router’s ports (some Fritzbox connected to the ISP). 192.168.1 is inactive, I was just messing around with it when I got the unit.
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 5 weeks ago:
I’m all on SSDs since I don’t need that much storage, so 2.5 is what I need anyways. There’s a 3x ZFS mirror of 1.8TB SSDs in there, 4th bay is currently empty.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again! 5 weeks ago:
K8S is a whole different approach and I find it to be a lot more complex, but you would not need virtual machines. If all your applications are running in containers anyways, you could consider it. Finding a good solution for persistent storage is probably the most important design decision.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again! 5 weeks ago:
What do you actually need to run on your server? I’d look into downsizing. A single small form factor computer or even a newer Raspi can do a lot these days.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again! 5 weeks ago:
Most of the stuff will somewhat work, but you’ll introduce side effects sooner or later by using commands that might work but are not the proper ones and alter unrelated things. At some point those will likely bite you and you have no idea where it’s coming from. I’d suggest to check at least what the commands you are copying are doing.

Oh that sucks! One would think that after that long, it’d be somewhat established.
