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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'm planning to set up proper backups for my server, but I'm not sure which software to use. I've looked for solutions with encryption, compressed, incremental backups. These seem to be the best options:

Does anyone have experience with these, and if so, what was your experience?

EDIT 2023-12-28:

It seems most people are using Restic of which about half mention using a wrapper such as resticprofiles, creatic and autorestic.

Note that while they're disingenuously proclaiming themselves to be a "free" tool, the license is actually an unfree proprietary custom license.

Thank you for saving me the trouble of investigating this as an option.

No reason to tolerate proprietary licenses when there are so many viable FLOSS solutions out there.

The licence is pretty clear - the CLI version is entirely free for personal use (commercial use requires a licence, and the GUI is optional). If you don't like the licence, that's fine, but it's hardly 'disingenuous' when it is free for personal use, and has been for many years.
