There’s prometheus node exporter which can collect such data from several hosts. You can hook it up with Grafana for neat dashboards and I’m almost sure it also integrates with Homeassistant.

Maybe get a reputable one, the other ones are sadly malware infected in way to many cases. It’s a way for the manufacturer to make an extra buck from the sale.

If you have an AVM Fritz!Box home router you can simply create a new profile that disallows internet access and set the devices you want to “isolate” to that profile. They will be able to access the local network and be accessed by the local network just fine, but they won’t have any outgoing (or incoming) connectivity.

If only modern kernels weren’t a problem. I wish you could just install new OSs like on PC.

I’ve used restic before and it worked great with OVH’s object storage. Moved away from cloud backups because of the cost though.

Yeah, has anyone ever actually tried restoring from then? I only remember one disgruntled redditor posting about it, but that’s about it.

Depends a lot on what backup software you use. Blackbase B2 ist just an S3-like object storage service. It’s the underlying software stack of many different things, one of those can be backup software. They do have their own backup solution though. But in that case B2 is the wrong product for you to look at.

But Borg does not work with object storage, it needs a borg process on the receiving side.

I am very happy with mine and have only ever had one hiccup during updating that was due to my Dockerfile removing one dependency to many. I’ve run it bare metal (apache, mariadb) as well as containerized (derived custom image, traefik, mariadb). Both were okay in speed after applying all steps from the documentation.

Having the database on your fastest drive is definitely very important. Whenever I look at htop while making big copies or moves, it’s always mariadb that’s shuffling stuff around.

In my opinion there are 2 things that make nextcloud (appear) slow:

1. Managing the ton of metadata in the db that is used by nextcloud to provide the enhanced functionality

2. It is/was a webpage rendered mostly on the server.

The first issue is hard to tackle, because it is intrinsic and also has different optimums for different deployment scales. Optimizing databases is beyond my skillset and therefore I stick to the recommendations.

The second issue is slowly being worked around, because many applications on nextcloud now resemble SPAs, that are highly interactive and are rendered by your browser. That reduces page reloads and makes it feel more smooth.

All that said, I barely use the webinterface, because I rarely use the collaboration features. If I have to create a share I usually do that on the app because that’s where I send the link to people. Most of my usecase is just syncing files, calendars and contacts.

That might be due to your ISP’s routing and interconnects. They usually have good routes to big services and might lack good connections between home users in different countries or on different continents.

She might even argue for significantly more hours if she wipes out an entire blood line at once.

I did too, but shortly after decommissioning that server the drive became unresponsive. I really dodged a bullet without even realizing at the time. SMART data did not work and may have alerted me in that case.

Also, unrelated to SMART data, the server failed to do reboots because the USB-SATA adapter did not properly reset without a full power cycle (which did not happen with that mainboard’s USB on reboots). It always git stuck searching for the drive. Restarting the server therefore meant shutting it down and calling someone to push the button for me - or use Wake-On-LAN which thankfully worked but was still a dodgy workaround.

Hopefully soon. Gotta fork -ngxyz at some point

From what I read online that can lead to instabilities and was therefore disabled on Linux.

Paperless-ngx!

And you typically don’t get SMART-Data from USB-adapters.

Have a look into the logs of nc and see if it complains about a trusted proxy or similar. The ip range within a container network often changes between resstarts and that was a problem for me with my reverse proxy setup.

+1 for MTU and persistent keepalive. The last one helps if the connection is lost after a certain amount of time and does not recover, the first is often the problem when connection is intermittent or just “weird”.

Setting MTU requires knowing the MTU of your connection. Many ISPs provide IPv4 encapsulated in IPv6 protocol (Dual Stack Lite, I believe), meaning that from the regular package size you have to deduct the overhead of the encapsulation and if I remember correctly, also the package overhead for wireguard.

Yeah that made a massive dufference for me. Then again, it was unshielded cable so what did I expect?

But also unshielded so uncoil them entirely and do not lay them next to other data lines. I had so many dropped packages because of that.
