Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Honestly, what you’re trying to do is a great use case for docker already. I suggest learning more about how to use docker, take backups, restore from backups, etc. E.g., I have a NFSv4 share that I store all of my containerized services’ config and data files in. Any time I need to restore a precious version, it’s as easy as restoring the previous version files and starting the previous version container.
Yeah that could be an option too, but I kinda like the way how lxc works so I'm going to stick to it and write scripts to make the whole thing automated
Check out ansible for ways to automate this stuff. Highly recommended!
I thought to only cron to run weekly update
