Lattepanda mu is apparently a very powerful alternative.

I know, but I’d say ppl on Linux tend to not use it.

Right, I usually do that or lz4.

On windows.

youRFate , 29 days ago to Selfhosted in How do y'all backup docker databases with backup programs like Borg/Restic?

With restic you can pipe to stdin, so I use mysqldump and pipe it to restic:

mysqldump --defaults-file=/root/backup_scripts/.my.cnf --databases db-name | restic backup --stdin --stdin-filename db-name.sql

The .my.cnf looks like this:

[mysqldump]
user=db-user
password="databasepassword"

I don’t have an android. On iOS I tried their table thing, it works decently, but not nearly as nicely optimised for the use on an iPad as Apple Numbers is.

Very true, but I like my NAS to be maintenance-free, and Synology delivers on that. Their apps work out of the box and are installed with basically one click. I fiddle with tech enough at my job, I like my private tech to just work.

Even as a power-user you can do a lot, the synology nas also runs docker, so you can run whatever you'd like on it, not just the synology provided services.

Expanding the hardware is kind of a pain, even with RAM they are kind of weird and you need some approved (synology-brand) ram, or need to fiddle with some system files to make it accept any ram.

Also i’d love if they went with zfs instead of their llvm + btrfs.

A really cool do-it-all Option to de-google / de-cloud yourself is to buy a synology NAS. They come with all the cloud stuff you want, it works really well out of the box:

• Synology Drive for synced files, sharing files / folders with friends etc.
• Synology Office (Integrated into Drive)
• Synology Photos does the photo backup from your mobile devices
• Synology Calendar for calendar syncing etc

That way you're not moving from one cloud provider to another one you might or might not trust, but you host it all yourself.

FYI: if you run freebsd you are not affected: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-security/2024-March/000248.html

Took me a while to find out so I thought I’d share.

You can’t dedup/compress restic repos at fs level due to the encryption.

Nice thing is you get those even with „dumb“ targets that can‘t do those for you.

Restic is my tool of choice for deduplicated encrypted verifiable compressed incremental backups.

Emacs is, too, but I don’t bother having a proper editor set up. I won’t develop anything on that machine anyways.

The editor I use when I’m on windows by accident but still have to look at some text files real quick.
