Dockge or Portainer are both good options.

For VMs you’ll need to find something else, you could use Cockpit for that.

Or if you have a 7th gen or newer Intel CPU with integrated graphics, those work great too. Support for 10 bit does require a later model CPU though.

Doing it on a VPS you’re not going to be able to do real-time transcoding, so you’ll have to pre-transcode a bunch of different bitrates.

Peertube will do that for you, and also handle giving a nice interface for people to watch the videos on with multiple quality levels to pick from.

I don’t know of any services that automatically pick the quality based on your connection quality though, even youtube doesn’t do that.

Owncloud supports selective sync, and seems a lot better for performance compared to Nextcloud.

Alternatively you could roll your own with rclone which is essentially an open source alternative to mountain duck. Then you can just use a simple connection via SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, etc…

Restic and Proxmox Backup Client for me.

Proxmox backup client goes to my local proxmox backup server, Restic goes to remote S3 storage on Backblaze.

Planning on setting up Proxmox and moving most services there. Some questions

I am currently running most of my stuff from an unraid box using spare parts I have. It seems like I am hitting my limit on it and just want to turn it into a NAS. Micro PCs/USFF are what I am planning on moving stuff to (probably a cluster of 2 for now but might expand later.). Just a few quick questions:...

That makes sense, but no remote backups over the network? Local snapshots I don’t really count as backups.

Backups are usually encrypted from most popular backup programs, either by default or as an option (restic, borg, duplicati, veeam, etc…). So that would take care of someone else getting their hands on your backup data.

I never store my actual files on a cloud service, only encrypted backups.

For local data on my devices, my laptop is encrypted with bitlocker, and my Android phone is by default. My desktop at home is not though.

Yeah the first time was the time/date bug they had (still have?) where it set the time on every folder and file to 00/00/0000 00:00 across all clients and the server.

Second time was I disabled virtual file support on my laptop so it would sync everything, but instead it went and wiped all the files from the server, because for some reason their sync client assumed the laptop that now had no files on it should be the master source or something.

Their own docs even state that’s how you’re supposed to disable VFS, with no mention that it will wipe your server clean.

Because I have to for some things. If I could never see a CLI again I’d be happy.

I don’t get it either, it seems horribly complex to use day to day.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It does feel a bit laggy on my lower powered laptop.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

My better way is just using Portainer, select some containers and hit the stop button.

How tf do you remember that lol, I’m always amazed by CLI focused people being able to remember so much!

Have backups. Use something like Veeam Endpoint or a similar software that will image the entire system in a bootable state, and schedule it daily with incremental storage.

Every day stuff could potentially break something, updates out of your control could break something, hardware failures happen, etc…

How to download ALL dependencies for an external .deb package (rescuezilla)?

Hi everyone! I’m trying to prepare a live iso with a USB stick including the additional rescuezilla package (or, alternatively, additional packages for a live rescuezilla .iso). Sadly rescuezilla does not support encryption, and so I’d like to be able to create/encrypt an image on one single live iso, not having to do a...

Would it be easier to use Clonezilla? It looks like it supports encryption.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah that’s for sure, it’s pretty user hostile.

It’s not open source but I absolutely love Veeam Agent, it will backup an online system with encryption, very easy to use, and they provide a bootable recovery image to restore from.

The tests are in a public github repo, it doesn’t seem like they’re hiding anything.

I need a new bench power supply

Hello, I did manage to kill my cheap-ish bench supply causing it to randomly output up to like 300% the set voltage when under load which did already kill one board. Probably I didn’t actively kill it but the chinesium did its job 🤷🏻‍♂️. It was a single output supply, when needed I hooked up additional buck- or...

The other option is a used one off ebay, could probably find an older one from one of the good brands for $100-200.
