Ah, good old dd
When you have some spare time, take a look at partclone - clonezilla uses it because it only backs up used blocks, not free space, so more efficient.
Interesting.
Yep, I agree there's 2 types of backups:
- data
- OS image
Out of curiosity, how are you doing the drive imaging?
Yep, this is what I did too.
I found no-one was using the NC interface and just syncing, so stripped right back.
Stable. Lightweight. Mostly no maintenance (just moving to syncthing-fork)
I think the point here is that no-one uploads / enters a password/phrase/file.
Whatever you enter on the keyboard is hashed and the hash is sent. Depending on the protocol, sometimes it's time limited so no-one can record the network traffic and resend the data (replay attack)
Files (SSH keys, certificates, etc) are checked against a (usually) asymetric key exchange algorithm, so they can only compare what's sent if they have the corresponding key to decrypt the cipher.
The length of the password (or file) is basically meaningless. It's just how long it'll take someone to guess it (brute-force), but as the saying goes, you don't break into a house through the door, you go through Windows... ie the weakest link.
In your concept, the weakest link is the meatware: humans. We need ease of use, so, someone will store that file and it'll be compromised, so 64b, 128b or 512b doesn't matter, if they have the file, they're in.
Now... MFA... Now, that's more like it.
At least there's no Windows...
I have a 7530. (Is yours a typo?)
Yes, those instructions look about right.
My pfSense box has the username & password, so the router really is just being used as a dumb modem (I used to use Draytek modems)...
... but...
The router's diagnostics will show the DSL details, so you can check if your external connection is ok (ie OSI Layer1), but it will always think it's offline.
So once you get your OPNSense setup and working, have a look around the Fritz diagnostics and get comfy with what you can / can't see, because when there's a failure you won't know what is really failed.
Also... write down what you did and how to reverse it, as you (or others) might want to reset it to full router if your OPNSense is down.
The advice above matches mine.
I have a home-built pfSense unit and when parts die (not if), then I just replace them with spares I have already waiting... as that box is now critical for you.
I also have a Fritz in bridge mode with the pfSense doing PPPoE through it, so effectively, the firewall is the first real device on the WAN. Makes things much simpler as the WAN interface has status like packet drops, etc, much easier to diagnose issues.
Wow.
Ok, I don't have anywhere near that amount of media, but MythTV takes seconds to rescan ~2TB of videos and maybe a minute to get any missing details like fanart, etc.
Similar amount for music - but I feed it the files after I've run them through Picard.
I've not done a complete rescan of eveything for ages, but from memory it's like an hour absolute tops. More like ~30 mins.
And that's on an underclocked CPU (for quietness).
This looks very interesting.
I track the family's location with GPS Logger (on Android) and the Home Assistant app on the iPhone user... it's all going to HA at the moment to turn lights on when people get home...
And I have a separate Immich server.
So, reading this, I can combine this all together from HA and Immich - or do I need to send the GPS coordinates to this server too?
I'm also not a container user... skimming the installation section, the instructions appear to be only support docker - are standalone instructions also covered? (I may have missed them...)
But, this looks really nice.
I liked thr piechart where you distinguish between walking, cycling, driving, etc, I presume that's done by velocity...? So, do you calculate that or need that data from the phone app?
I don't run any containers and this made me consider trying to get the whole infrastructure setup π

It covers things like keeping your phone active for 2FA, subscriptions that need to be paid until data is saved, etc.
It's what my SO & I use.
Very thorough
