Vivia 🦆🍵🦀

For my server I use duplicity, with a daily incremental backup and sending the encrypted diffs away. I researched a few more options some time ago but nothing really fit my use case, but I’m also not super happy with duplicity. Thanks for suggesting borgbackup.

For my personal data I have a NextCloud on a RPi4 at my parents’ place, which also syncs between my laptop that I’ve left there. For an offline and off-site storage, I use the good old strategy where I bring over an external hard drive, rsync it, and bring it back.

• Two NextCloud instances, one is a RPi4 with a big external HDD which I use for backups, the other one contains everything else, including PhoneTrack. Happy to have a self-hosted privacy-friendly way to share my location with family.
• Email using mailcow.
• Jabber server using prosody. Using it with immediate family and two friends. Still super happy.
• Web server including personal blogs. Currently looking to migrate away from Wordpress into something static without comments.
• pihole
• Half-finished home automation stuff.

Another happy mailcow user here. I used to have everything set up manually until a few months ago when I decided to migrate into a bigger hardware instance.

My only complaint is that I can’t find a self-hosted way to protect the actual mailbox with 2FA. IMAP/SMTP have plain username/password authentication.
