I need to get more serious with backups. I read a lot about 4-3-1 and 2-2-1 but not sure i get it all. I need to find something that works with my truenas scale setup.

I second drive mirroring with ZFS. Truenas Scale has been a quantum leap for me. I have two very old Dell T110 with 32GB ram each. One, the main one, has 4x 4GB Western Digital Gold drives, which cost me a fortune at the time. I think they are in raid5 but cant remember. The other t110 has cheaper WD reds. I turn on the slave machine on saturdays to complete replication tasks. I dont have a robust backup model yet besides replicating to an external HD on a 3rd machine but will need to work on that.

What i find interesting is that pubblishes have gone to every length to reduce the benefits of consumers and increase their margins. Yet, pirating is still there. The question is whethere it has reduced. I was pretty content with buying media i liked and then ripping it but nowadays there is hardly a new CD or DVD being produced. Subscriptions are not the way, especially when only a few large players are controlling the market. They just do what they want.

Of course, i forgot to mention, that user is in the docker grp. I was just thinking that maybe, as the data folders/volumes for the containers were saved in the user home directory, there may be read/write issues foe the various containers.

Likewise, i was worried that if installing/running a sensitive service like Vaultwarden with sudo exposed me to risks.

I hadn’t considered the port conflict issue … probably shows how ignorant I am on all this stuff, not just on proxies … :-)

I’m picking up on this because I’m getting a bit confused. I’ve run this through docker compose using the below yaml. I’ve done it as normal user, “Fred” (added to docker group) rather than root (using sudo although it make no difference as I get the same outcome). I normally have a “docker” folder in my /home/fred/ folder so is /home/fred/docker/vaultwarden in this instance (i.e. my data folder is in here).

I get the same issue highlighted here which is all about the SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG when trying to connect via https, whereas when I try to connect via http, I get a white page with Vaultwarden logo in top left corner and the spinning wheel in the center. I’ve got no proxy enabled and I’m still not clear why I need one if I’m only accessing this via LAN. Is this something on the lines of “you must yse this through a proxy or it won’t work” thing? Although that not why I understood the from the guidance. I’m clearly missing something although not sure what exactly it is …

services:
  vaultwarden:
    image: vaultwarden/server:latest
    container_name: vaultwarden
    restart: always
    environment:
      # DOMAIN: "https://vw.home.home/"
      SIGNUPS_ALLOWED: "true"
    volumes:
      - ./vw-data/:/data/
    ports:
      - 11001:80

Thanks for sharing the other communities. I have used this forum a lot and there are some great helpers here. I really hope things don’t get a bad turn. We really need these forums to help newbies. We’ve all been there. You could argue that the typical newbie question “where do i start?” Is “low effort” but simply reading all the answers about how others approched self hosting has given me so much benefit.

I don’t have any proxy.

Nice one. I missed this

And, i can’t find clients on f-droid. Any variants recomended that dont come from the playstore.

Another key feature will be Keepass data import.

That is another problem i face when i have the app open on desktop and phone at the same time. Its a nightmare.

Too bad I read this only now. I may have already updated the original app to v.1.28.1 Just seen that on Android you only have access to syncthing-fork now. Moved over to syncthing-fork and realised you cant import the config. Its expecting a zip file yet v.1.28.1 expoted loads of individual files. :-(

Folks, many banks have now implemented 2FA through their apps. That is the only reason why i have it installed. But i keep it on a deperate GrapheneOS profile that i turn on anff as i need it.

Readeck looks similar to Wallabag?

This is a good comment! I just discovered after your comment that floccus has a setting to link up with Linkwarden so that together, they achieve most of my desired outcomes. It just becomes more i volved in the managemente as you no end up with two components to manage rather than one ;-)

Exactly! The point really is tgat it shiuld be detecting duplicates regardless once ticked.

When you say "I close city water’, sounds like you are also drinking that water? Sounds like a cool idea that I too have been thinking about. That water needs disinfection though

Mate, it was a sarcastic statement 😉

Well no. Initially i had the storage set on the VM where its running. I wasn’t expecting it to download all that data.

OK, so maybe I didn’t explain myself. What I meant was that I would like resilience so that if one server goes down, I’ve got the other to quickly fireup. Only problem is that slave sever has a smaller pool, so I can’t replicate the whole pool of master server.
