It's kind of depressing how fragmented the Matrix ecosystem is, a bunch of clients but none seem to support everything together, servers that are slow and bloated, and don't support super basic maintenance tasks like cleaning up old stuff, etc..

Maybe? Do those folders have anything you need in them?

There isn't a true replacement for Wordpress because of the sheer availability of plugins it has.

But for simple sites like blogs and personal sites Grav CMS is one I've used, and it gives you a web admin panel similar to Wordpress, so the learning curve isn't too bad.

Drupal also gets mentioned a lot as a replacement.

There are also static site generators like Hugo, but those require learning a lot about the specific one you use, and are pretty complex to use, and if you need non-static content like a web form or something it can add a lot of complexity to your whole setup.

Gotcha, in that case maybe a container? You can use a bind mount to link a folder on the host to inside the container. You could use docker/podman or LXC.

It can be anything you want.

How you change it depends on the specific server you're using, I use SFTPGo for a webdav server and when I create a new user it just asks where the data should go.

Does rclone support the cloud service?

Software RAID is generally better in every way, also no hardware to fail.

Keep multiple reliable (and tested) backups, if something fails restore a backup.

Don't rely on any storage, RAID or anything else to be recoverable when something goes wrong.

Backrest is also great, just a nice webUI for Restic.

It's wild just how slow most thumb drives benchmark even with recent models, the Samsung Bar at 36MB/s is just ridiculous, that's 30 minutes of waiting to fill it up entirely!

A basic V30 microSD card is at least that fast!

Yes I'm waiting until it's ready for the average user before I recommend it to anyone.

Sure:

  • Proxmox backs up all my VMs/CTs nightly to the proxmox backup server I run as a VM with an external HDD attached to it. This keeps around 30 versions with a retention policy so I can go back pretty far if needed. These are full bootable images and include everything.

  • Restic (using Backrest to manage it), runs on any VMs/CTs with critical data, and backs up to Backblaze B2 every night as well, this is a more limited choice of the critical files that I'd need. Similar retention policy as the proxmox backup.

With both I try and do some full restores every month or two and test things out.
