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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I have 4 HDDS drives running in RAID-Z1. But yeah, the zfs snapshots on the pool itself are a no brainer :) but good to hear that they work so well
If you wanted to get really in the weeds of ZFS, you can use ZFS send to send copies of your snapshots into a dataset that you store on your external.
You can enable encryption and compression on the external dataset as well.
This would use snapshots, give you the ability to make block-level incremental backups and allow encryption and compression using only ZFS tooling.
You'd have to script it though (it's possible someone has already done this in some other backup application).
