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.

I tried Borg for a brief moment when I used the Nextcloud AiO Container and it has Borg Backup integrated into it.
But then I tried Kopia and sticked to it. I wanted a unified backup solution for all my systems (Linux + Windows) and Kopia is doing that. Also it has a nice Web Interface and GUI Client, so it´s usable even for the people not that tech-savvy.
My Homelab runs 2 Kopia Containers at the moment. The first one is here to backup all my compose files and the Docker volumes. The second one is backing up my NAS to a cloud storage. I can access these 2 via the Web GUI, which is very convenient. And when I need to restore something, I can mount the Repo and just restore what I need. To test my Homelab Backup, I spun up a Linux VM, installed Docker + Kopia CLI to restore everything and all my containers were up and running again.
On my Windows Systems I run Kopia GUI which can connect to multiple Repositories. So my Desktops backup up to my NAS and to a Cloud storage at the moment. So they run basically 2 Backup jobs (which only take a few minutes each when run once a week). But there is also a feature that a Kopia Repo Server syncs its Repo to another Repo, so this could have been a solution too. That way your system creates a Backup only once and Kopia takes care of synchronizing the existing Repo to an additional place.
