Heyha ! Read about dd on makeuseof after reading your post, to see how it works.
Restoring from an image seems exactly what I was looking for as a full backup restore.
However this kind of 1 command backup isn’t going to work on databases (mariadb, mysql…). How should I procede with my home directory where all my containers live and most of them having running databases?
Does it work with logical volumes? Is it possible to copy evrything except /home of the logical volumes?
Hi thanks for your quick response !
I already checked with apt show emacs and the output clearly shows emacs-gtk as depends on. And while installing the emacs package with:
sudo apt-get install emacs it installed a ~400Mo package and all dependencies.
So why doesn’t sudo apt remove --purge --autoremove emacs removes everything ? I thought this command would be the exact opposite of sudo apt install package-name
I used nextcloud for a year or so, but found the web GUI/apps slow, bloated and sometimes way to buggy ! Switch to owncloud for the simplicity of only having a cloud system without to much bloat.
I just read through the seafile documentation and yeah this is also not going to happen. Maybe I should switch to a simple webdav server…
Hummm… This kinda sucks ! Moving to seafile then ! Hope their native apps are as good as owncloud’s !
Yeah NC is way too much bloated and heavily unstable after some long term use. As an alternative for cloud storage I use ownCloud. The newer owncloudIS version needs a bit more maturing before it’s fully functional and less unstable for selfhosters, but the php version is fully functional and the native apps are awesome :).
While AIO is neat on paper, it’s most of the time buggy and not as good as native tools. Having all your tools bind together is a bad idea in my opinion… Having a hammer that’s also a screwdriver, a scissor… Leave them less functional as having them separated !
Yeah this takes more space and is less convenient, but the right tool for the right job is a principle that always works in the long term !
If you’re interested you can read my edit :)
Hey thank you, but that’s also not what I was looking for ! If you are interested you can read my long edit on how I solved my issue :)
Thank you for your input :). While this add-on has more flexibility on what to keep in your browser, it only deletes them after they have entered your system. It’s actually not as useful as it sounds because your data is already exchanged with the server.
If you are interested you can read my too long edit to see what I meant and how to block specific cookie before they enter your system. Also on how to spoof your user agent and activate privacy.fingerprintingProtection in firefox.
Thanks but that’s really not what I’m looking for…
When it’s needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you
Have you managed to selfhost it ? Funkwhale looks great, but the installation process with another proxy than nginx in a container setup is far from ready and accessible to hobby selfhosters.
If you have no idea about proxies and headers forwarder… just don’t waste your time and go straight to audiobookshelf !
They also have an I2P address. More secure than Tor, because alot of the end nodes are controlled by government and private institutions.
Yeah… people think it only happends to their neighbors… until it’s too late 🤔!
I tried it 3 months ago. It looked nice had some cool features, but It didn’t fit into my personal selfhosted Home server.
This is more or like to help less-tech savy people to secure their infrastructure, which is a good point, but can’t replace a complex wireguard, VPN, opnsense, 2FA , self-signed CA, docker installation.
It’s a bit like Nginx proxy manager, it’s good enough, does what it is suposed to do with minimal user inputs. Less prone to error, security issues…
I’m sure you pronounce also those words wrong:
Hope this helps 🙏
never issue a command not related to package management with sudo or an su’d shell without trying it as a user first, and if it doesn’t work as a user, stopping and thinking about why not and what you were trying to do in the first place.
Thank you ! Because I was always using the root user for everything I also fucked-up my home directories, which really didn’t looked great ! I fixed everything right now (New user, new directory/file system, everything to the correct owner…) and will only add my specific user to the needed groups. I like that workflow, because having to sudo to everything with the root user really give me security concerns ! 👍
Yep I know that ! But with my badly written question you probably missed my point :(
Thank you for your great insight !!!
Yeah I have it in my favs, but I wanted a direct experience with people who actually know what they are doing and how ! :D
Thank you :) My question was maybe a bit confusing (not native :( ) and yes I know those EMACs shortcuts to navigate around :). It was relate to how to navigate a multiline in a copy/pasted command in the shell. The solution is (even if it wasn’t what I expected) to Ctrl-x Ctrl-e, this opens an editor with my copied command. This is one more step, but it’s elgant and takes away the fritction from opening nano myself !
Thank you for your contribution !
Okay, thank you :)) too bad it looked liked a simple and elegant way…
