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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I backup my files via rsync then have some essentially docker containers backed up and running in case the first one goes down :)

A copy of data isn't really a backup, that's also why RAID isn't a backup. You should have proper backups with something like borg or restic.

You do realize that what borg and restic do is make copies of your data, right?

In such a way that it checks the integrity of the files. Which a normal copy paste does not do. Rsync does this as well bdw.

I think you have a misunderstanding. Restic and Borg checks the integrity of the backup repository and not the files being backed up.
