I think someone else already mentioned it, but just to reiterate… Anything for other people who aren’t my wife and future kids.

Password manager, file backups, photo backup, whatever.

If something happens to me, or I pass away, wifey has instructions on shutting everything down (probably should write instructions on how to save all the important stuff).

But I don’t want to deal with other peoples stuff. I like tinkering with my server and different docker containers, etc. So I don’t want someone complaining they can’t access their photos because I wanted to try something new. Also, just don’t wanna be responsible for storing their photos and important documents.

How was this posted 2 years ago?

On the connect for lemmy app, it thinks it’s a user lol.

I see it says authenticatior support, but I’m not sure if that means what I think it means in this case.

I’m reading through it, but maybe you can anwser it faster.

Does this support generating 2FA authenticator codes like 1password does?

So I think I’ll try Duplicati for docker next, and if that fails, then I’ll try scripting and cronjobs.

I’m so happy with all the support, thank you! :)

Just saved your comment for reference later, thank you so much!

This is what I’m going to try next, as I’m not completely happy with Kopia

I think this might be the way I have to go!

I’m really liking Kopia. Nice GUI and some pretty nice settings. But I don’t like the obfuscation. Like you said, I just want the zip files. I think I’ll try Borgbackup, then rclone to drive, but I’ll also look into just scripting it myself!

Thank you so much :)

I’m trying this out right now with Kopia for docker, and I’m not the biggest fan of (seemingly) not being able to turn off the obfuscation, and making it do just a single .zip file or .tar or whatever. Also, having a hard time setting up drive integration with the GUI, but that’s just my fault. I’m not familiar with rclone or Kopia at all.

Dang. I’m still gonna look into it though. The hardest part was getting the names of different software. I kept finding different ways to do it in CLI, but no docker software or anything.

Thank you so much for your suggestion, imma add it to my list :)

Awesome, I’ll add it to the list of software to look into! Actually, if it does everything, then it’s gonna be the first 1 I try! Thank you!

No honestly, this was very helpful!

This, in combination with the solutions some others have suggested here already, would be pretty much what I want, just in multiple different parts, instead of 1 program/utility.

I’ll def look into this, and honestly see if I can find a docker image for something like this as well!!

Thank you so much!!!

I’ll have to look more into this, because I think I misunderstood, but it seems that it is ½ of the backup solution right? It won’t actually MAKE the backups, but it’ll allow me to “rotate” and only keep the last “x” files?

That sounds like the 2nd part of what I want! The uploading to off-site part! Awesome, I’ll def look into it, thank you!

I’ll keep digging into it, and probably spin up a container to fully test it out myself.

Thank you!

I’m very surprised by how much more I’m commenting, and I’ve even made a few posts!

I guess it comes with the feeling of exploring and establishing a new platform. Having this shared feeling towards reddit unites is, and this new platform gives us a new home.

I’m not even kidding, I had just resigned myself to having to learn how to code a basic site to do this haha.

I was already researching how to do this haha

Huh, the other comments show as deleted on my side? Strange.

But it was a glitch of either Connect for Lemmy or of Lemmy itself! About 60-75% of the time I try to post a comment, it times out or whatever and I am under the assumption that it failed to post, so I click “post” again, and that’s how I end up with multiple comments haha.

I’ve started just copying my entire comment, and backing out to check if it already posted when I get that error.

Thanka for bringing it up! :) (Let’s see if this comment times out haha)
