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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Sure, I won't post exactly what I have, but something like this could be used as a starting point:
I have all of my stacks (defined using Docker Compose) in separate subdirectories within the parent directory
/home/USERNAME/Docker/
, this is the only subdirectory that matters on the host. I have the backup script in the parent directory (in reality I have a few scripts in use, since my real setup is a bit more elaborate than the above). For each stack (ie. subdirectory) I spin the stack down, make the backup and copy it up to Wasabi, then spin the stack backup, and progress through each stack until done. Then lastly I copy the backup script up itself (in reality I copy up all of the scripts I use for various things). Not included as part of the script and outside of the scope of the example is the fact that I have the AWS CLI configured on the host with profiles to be able to interact with Wasabi, AWS, and Backblaze B2.That should give you the general idea of how simple it is. In the above example I'm not doing some things I actually do, such as create a compressed archived, validate it to ensure there's no corruption, pruning of files that aren't needed for the backup within any of the stacks, etc. So don't take this to be a "good" solution, but one that would do the minimum necessary to have something.
