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.

The only time rsync is really slow is when your dealing with millions of small files since it only transfers a single file at a time.

rclone is better in that respect since it transfers multiple files in parallel. I don’t think the speed of a single transfer is going to differ much.

The second isn’t a bad idea if it’s in combination with the first. Then you have an image you can restore with most of your config and you can just restore the rest from the normal backups.

What I do right now is I have a rclone sidecar container that uploads files in a directory every few seconds, and I also have another init sidecar that runs before the main application and downloads those files (incl sqlite dbs) to the normal disk. This works okay but feels pretty clunky and can still result in stuff getting corrupted because I’m just backing up the db files and not using any sqlite commands to actually back up the db to another file that isn’t in-use first.

How do you handle a job going from one nomad node to another? Or do you pin jobs like grafana to specific hosts?

Thanks! I’ll do some testing over the weekend and see how it goes.

While I’d love to be able to use it for postgres, I figured that wouldn’t work out well so probably won’t try it any time soon. I do have several apps that use sqlite databases though, do you think those would have any issues? e.g. trilium, ntfy, ghost

The main downside to most of the distributed/clustered storage that I’ve tried is they always seem to corrupt sqlite db files due to not supporting locking or some other posix feature. Reading through some older github issues, it looks like that is something the dev of seaweedfs fixed hopefully.

Hey, your stack is pretty similar to mine. One thing I recently started testing is Seaweedfs. I saw it listed in your repo too, how are you liking it so far? And do you use it on all of your nodes?

UptimeKuma is great, I use it for the simple “are my services up?” and is what I pay most attention to.

I still use zabbix for finer grained monitors though like checking raid status, smartctl, disk space, temperatures, etc.

I’ve been trying out librenms with more custom snmp checks too and am considering going that route instead of zabbix in the future

Bookstack is really nice and user friendly. It’s probably one of my favorites.

Dokuwiki is simple and stores files in plaintext.

I haven’t used wiki.js much but I’ve heard good things about it too.

Another option if you don’t need to share the wiki with anyone would be a note tool like Trilium. It has built in support for stuff like mermaid or excalidraw diagrams.

Don’t forget to setup backups for whatever wiki you do go with, and make sure you can restore them when your wiki is broken ;)

Were you downloading master or the latest release? If you’re interested in using it, post the issue you have on their GitHub. The main dev is super helpful

I’m not 100% sure, but wasn’t ssdnodes one of the companies that offers really cheap deals without actually giving you the specs they say?

E.g. they say 64gb ram, but you actually get a VM with memory ballooning enabled and then your account gets suspended if you consistently use that much ram

For backups, consider using rsync.net. for a server, have you looked at dedicated servers before? OVH has some cheap servers every once in a while that should be better in theory than most VPS.

I’ve tried lot of different apps, but I think I’ve settled on Trilium for now.

It doesn’t have a great mobile experience, but the web app works fine on mobile. The app in general is super customizable and way easier to write scripts / plugins for.

I’m alright with the games that give you daily rewards but they don’t have to be consecutive days. It still benefits people who log in everyday, but you at least aren’t entirely missing out

I liked the cyclops because of how big it was. I liked the sea truck too though.

I think my ideal combination would be a big cyclops like vehicle you could use as a mobile base, and then something between a sea truck and sea moth for excursions into more dangerous areas.

I didnt see it recommended yet, UptimeKuma is really simple if you just want to monitor the basics like if a url works or ping, tcp, etc without an agent.

It doesn’t do CPU/memory style metrics, but I find myself checking it more often because of how simple it is.

Consider still using sendgrid, AWS ses, or some other service for outbound mail. Incoming email isn’t bad, but outgoing email is where your more likely to run into issues with your IP being blacklisted/etc

You’re probably looking for some sort of configuration management tool like chef, ansible, saltstack, or puppet. If you’re not already familiar with one, ansible is pretty easy to get started with.

If you’re also wanting something that can create the server itself, terraform is great and supports most cloud providers and supervisors.

Are you familiar with lxc or chroots or bsd jails by any chance? If you are, you probably won’t find docker that much different to use other than a bigger selection of premade images.

It is kind of sad that some projects are trending towards docker first, but I think learning how to make packages for package managers is also becoming less popular :(
