Quadlet

I haven't heard of Quadlet before this, thanks I'll take a look at it.

Unraid has this with their cache pools. ZFS can also be configured to have a cache drive for writes.

You can also DIY with something like mergerfs and separate file systems.

What you read online may have been referring to how cloudflare itself can always see the unencrypted traffic?

Cloudflare tunnels are encrypted, but inside of that encrypted tunnel could be a regular http stream.

You'll need to include new instructions to follow too!

I have not had any issues with Kopia so far, but I have also only used it for maybe a year? My main reason for trying it was that I wanted to be able to give something to family members to use as a backup client with a reasonable ui. I can also control the default exclude list and default policies for compression/etc pretty easily.

I don't know how many years of restic backups I have, but I still rely on it for my most important data. Anything really important on my desktop/laptop gets backed up via kopia, but also gets copied (usually via nextcloud) to a server that has hourly zfs snapshots and daily restic snapshots. Both the restic and kopia snapshots get stored on a local nas and then synced to rsync.net.

I was talking about dumping the database as an alternative to backing up the raw database files without stopping the database first. Taking a filesystem-level snapshot of the raw database without stopping the database first also isn't guaranteed to be consistent. Most databases are fairly resilient now though and can recover themselves even if the raw files aren't completely consistent. Stopping the database first and then backing up the raw files should be fine.

The important thing is to test restoring :)

If you're worried a out a database being corrupt, I'd recommend doing an actual backup dump of the database and not only backing up the raw disk files for it.

That should help provide some consistency. Of course it takes longer too if it's a big db

Restic with rest-server is great.

Kopia is a little newer and has an actual web ui, so may be a good choice too.

I still use restic on all of my severs, but have started using Kopia for my non server machines.

Both support compression, encryption, and deduplication.

What're you wanting to use it for, what are your main concerns?

I'd recommend searxng, but mostly because I don't have experience with very many others. I've never had any issues with it either.

Check out a public instance if the engines you're interested in and see which you like more?

Sounds pretty cool, thanks for the details! Any chance of some pictures? My worry would be the same, I don't know if I trust myself not to flood the house lol

I did think about using a mechanical float like in the back of a toilet, and an overflow drain in case it never stops filling

Snipe it and grocy are the ones I see pretty often. I haven't tried homebox to compare yet though

Kanboard is pretty great even if it does feel dated. I tried a lot of the newer alternatives and they all had either weird bugs or quirks I didn't appreciate.
