This, had the same idea for other purposes, sharing a folder from vm to host through network share is the easiest way. Every other solution looks more elegant on paper but has lots of pitfalls.

I use duplicacy, it’s free as cli and pretty cheap if you want to manage the backup via gui. Restore by gui is always free and I would recommend it because it’s way easier to navigate the backups if you want to restore single files or folders.

Oh and regarding the large TIF files, what limits are you hitting? Most hosters allow to change the php settings like memory limit or max execution time.

As others said, encrypt your backup before sending it to your server. And can’t you upload the files to a folder outside of a document root or better outside of the www folder so there is no way to access it through the web server service?

The question before was “Are you self-hosting any components of an e-mail server?” and if you answered “No” you didn’t get to choose the client. And a webmail client is not part of what I consider an email server component without context.

But the survey also has other questions that are not clear enough. Like “Do you deploy a network-attached storage device (NAS)?” - what do they mean by NAS? As soon as I have network shares on it, it can be considered as a NAS. Do they mean all in one solutions like Synology or Qnap? Then why not make that more clear?

I meant more like… which server part are you hosting. Answer: Client…

Wat?

Thx a lot, was looking for a replacement for YNAB4 and this looks great!

Was there 6 months ago, I’ll just share what I did: OS: I went with Unraid because you can mix different sized HDDs without loosing space, just make sure the parity disc is same size or bigger as the biggest one with data. I backup everything with duplicacy to a stupid nas (wd mybook i got 2nd hand) and to an external hosting via ssh.

Most CPU is used for video transcoding so I went with a 12th gen i3 12100, it’s more than enough for my usage. Just don’t make the same error as I did… I really recommend a better cooler than the boxed one. It can get loud when unmanic starts to converting bigger videos to h265.

My normal PC is fully team red as it just works better on Linux for gaming but for nas, 12th gen Intel seems to be the way to go as far as my research shows.

I don’t use a gpu and the slot for it is used for a DELL perc h310 SAS controller in IT mode for more discs.

Most services are not exposed and I use wireguard to access my server remotely. Single docker services are exposed with nginx reverse proxy manager and dyndns, my domain is set to resolve to local IP addresses when at home or through vpn, this way I can always use the same hostnames with valid certificates. I use a simple bash script in a cron job to update my dns zone.

I have other hardware to play around and did work with proxmox and other solutions, but this NAS had to just work without lot of tinkering and I’m really happy with it.

Is there difference to https://openspeedtest.com ?

Assuming you are logged in to the server running unbound, are the ns for .it reachable? Do all .com domains work and no .org?

Can you run dig +trace on a domain that doesn’t work
