Just a dad with a sysadmin hobby … leaving reddit
Restic, it has native S3 compatibility and when you combine with something like B2 it makes amazing offsite storage so you can enjoy the tried and true 3-2-1 backup strategy.
Also fedora magazine did a few posts on setting it up with systemd that makes it SUPER EASY to get going if you need a guide.
I have an ansible role that configures it on everyone’s laptops so that they have local, NAS, and remote, B2, backup locations.
Works like a charm for the past 8+ years.
For similar reasons that’s why chewing is important too.
TBH have you tried just basic git? There’s a web interface built into git itself and you can use ssh for your repositories. It’s simple and just works. If you need a faster web interface there’s also cgit. There’s no bells and whistles either. Just configure ssh, drop your repos in /srv and get to work.
If you need more that just standard basic git the. The other suggestions here are great especially forgjo!
Once I figured out how to netboot the os into memory that’s how I run all my nodes :)
I use backblaze b2 for my storage. I use restic to backup everything to it. It works well and I’ve had it going for YEARS at this point. For things I could never replaced, like photos, I use external drives in addition to B2. Everyone knows that if something happens and we need to leave to just grab the drive that is stuck to the wall and the family photos will be safe.
My though process goes like this, everything backups to my home server. I have snap shots of the data on a normal basis. So if I need to get something back, going to a snap shot is pretty simple. If for some reason my server(s) just stopped existing for some reason I could pull it back from B2. I’ve only had to actually restore from B2 a handful of times and it was worth it.
Yeah, it was always too much for me. But I know quite a few people who run their entire business on it and they’re not small by any means. They hired some people to do custom work for modules too. They all started as small businesses too with Odoo and it just grew with them
XMPP is fantastic IMHO
If you want to support a great project and have great uptime check out conversations.im
I don’t recommend self hosting something you want available all the time. That being said everyone has different needs/uses 😊
Fedora Server, Rocky Linux, and/or Free RHEL dev license. That’s what I use for all of my stuff.
For containers I use podman kube. For storage I use ZFS and VDO.
Rocky & RHEL
The only reason I’m running an AMD card is because of the pandemic. I’ve run NVIDIA cards for over a decade with Linux and it hasn’t been bad. There were times where it was painful but these days it’s pretty easy.
I’m wasn’t implying that you shouldn’t host it yourself at all. Just maybe use a VPS for hosting it yourself.
Getting buy in on the family & friends aspect is being able to match or exceed the popular free services. If there’s a perception that it’s not reliable then it’s highly unlikely they’ll keep using it. So the last thing you want is to have something happen to your internet connection, NAS, etc. At the end of the day it’s the pesky perception equals reality thing that dooms things like this and tanks the spouse approval factor.
Self hosting XMPP works well for most internal things. IMHO communication software that you’re relying on shouldn’t be hosted at home.
Both of those that you mentioned are great. I’ve used ejabberd in addition to that. I think prosody is better. Here’s a link to a list of more servers.
Another option since XMPP can do E2EE is use conversations.im it is my go to for XMPP hosting.
Yeah, I like to give some the opportunity to explain themselves so they can, hopefully, hear how wrong they are. Even if it doesn’t work that way it just advertises to everyone their views
So correct me if I’m wrong.
You’re saying, in the case of git, that people using largely text based content over protocols nearly as old as the internet itself, just like the rest of the entire world, should not be allowed to do so?
Also what’s the RFC for secondary shitting streets? I must have missed that one.
How so? I haven’t seen any evidence of that.
Why would you think that?
TBH, if something like invoice ninja isn’t working for you, even the paid hosted version, then maybe just use PayPal?
Some things are, but the core functionality is easily extended through modules and you can find a lot of sites with them. Some of the best modules are going to cost you some money but it’s worth it.
That being said Odoo is overkill if you just need to send an invoice. Odoo is perfect for running a business though. It can and will do EVERYTHING and then some.
I know people who run their entire businesses on it. Website, HR, inventory, time clocks, billing, etc etc. it scales really well too. Largest business I know using it has 100s of employees. They even have a paid developer on staff that writes and maintains custom modules for them. Smallest business I know of using it has 5 employees, including the owners.
It’s seriously impressive software!
Didn’t work at all for me. Tried it when stimulants were nearly impossible to get. I gave it a few months too. When I was finally able to stimulants again I was able to get back on track with things. That being said I’ve heard for some people it’s worked well. Though no one I know in person has found that to be the case, so YMMV
