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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

What tools do you use for the monitoring, backup and rollback?

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I use rsync to backup, I can delete and restore the whole drive if i want at any time.

I use watchtower to keep things updated. If you schedule the rsync and watchtower correctly, you can get the backup done before the upgrade and there's basically no lost data with the rollback.

I use uptime Kuma for monitoring, and it shoots me an email with details on what failed.

OpenMediaVault does this as well if you use the built in Docker system. I have it set to back up containers every Sunday at 1 am, at which time it pulls any new images. You can set the number of backups to retain and roll back if there are any issues.
