Look into radicale if that’s you’re using NC as a DAV server - and everyone’s using their phone as a client

It’s so simple & lightweight (but admittedly the webgui is admin only - no visible calendar)

Ah, yes, half-finished notes… had similar issues in the past too.

But it’s a great feeling when you finally understand something, update the notes (and maybe the Arch wiki ) and sleep a little better…

I dont want to dump on anyone, but this is v2.4.0 and v1.0.0 was last month…

With 4 tickets…

I’m also unsure that refering to zero knowledge architecture is the correct phrase here. Instead I think it should be zero trust in this context.

But as other repos are French, perhaps the AI is from translations.

In short - a good idea, but needs time - and clearer explanations of what’s going on

Armagetron ?

Still going…

I must dig out my copy of Doom3 and see if those servers are still going…

I came from Nextcloud to syncthing, you’re in the right place.

You’re doing fine.

After seeing someone at work burnout, I’ll offer this advice:

Find what you enjoy doing and do nothing more (today). Itch only 1 scratch at a time.

As an analogy - consider you’ve moved into a newly built house and have an empty garden. No-one would expect you to create that perfectly first time around. Esp. in 1 weekend. It needs time to grow. Some things will need cutting down, some things will need moving. Animals will crap on it.

I think you’re trying to make it perfect, first time around. Perhaps as a fear of doing it “wrong”.

There is no wrong, it’s all a learning experience, doing things good enough for now and improving / breaking things later.

Ensure you know how to backup your files (3-2-1 rule) and the rest doesn’t matter.

I’ve re-written my ansible scripts a few times, but over months and years as I’ve learned what works best for my system.

For example, I had 1 complete script for each device. I can wipe the device (get it back on the network) and rebuild with no effort…

… then I realised that most of the scripts had very similar parts to tweak SSH and other settings, so then I learned how to call scripts from within scripts, which also meant using variables (facts) to work out if this is a 32b or 64b RasPi (for example)

That probably took 3 months

But I enjoy sitting in my garden and looking at it…

I think you’re looking for a calendar on a web page?

So, probably not what you meant, but Radicale is a really good caldav server I use for our calendars

It’s a server, you need clients (ie phones, etc) to see the calendars, but I found that no-one wanted a web calendar, they just used their phones… so maybe it’s an option…?

1st, definitely get backups offsite. Either cloud or drives at someone else’s home, but do that.

When (not if) something breaks you’ll need to fix it “now”

So, if you were intending on hosting a failover system in the cloud with Jellyfin, Adguard, Wireguard, etc. that won’t be a simple replica - you’ll need to redo your whole networking design.

IMHO, you’re better having physical spare parts / devices at home and focus on that.

If you’re running on an old PC, you’ll probably be better getting a newer, more efficient (lower electricity costs) - possibly smaller and quieter - device and moving stuff across… your old PC can then be the backup device.

By which country?

Define “properly”…

Microsoft Windows surely?

Performance is going to be the same.

Security is the main point here.

If this is your internet facing firewall then you want minimal layers of software complexity, so bare metal is the answer.

I’m a pfSense user, so I don’t know how regularly OPNsense is updated, but, it’s so much easier to just reboot that 1 box whilst everything else is mostly unaffected.

Better still, do a full device backup before an update and then you have a simple disaster recovery backup in case of any problems.

My journey:

Random stuff --> OwnCloud --> Nextcloud --> syncthing + Radicale

I gave up with the constant changes during upgrades and increasing dependencies for features that we weren’t using.

Now my system’s lean, light, responsive and just works (on a Pi3)

Prosody’s next…

Every way?

Well, apart from simplicity and security I suppose… and networking…

Oh, and storage…

But, before you think I’m arguing with you, I’m not… Containers have their place, VMs also, they are just for different uses.

In this case, I have a NAS, with Immich installed directly on it and I don’t have to mess with any abstraction layers… and it all plays nice with the other applications.

Maybe yours is different… but mine is better on bare metal.

Gotta chime in with a +1 for bare metal too…

How so?

I think this summarises all the other answers here

Backups… with LVM, if you’re trying to do a full system backup (ie with clonezilla, etc) then you have to backup the whole thing - you can’t backup just 1 drive.

I have a media server with 2x 2TB HDDs and 1x SSD in a LVM, split into Music, Video, TV… and the OS … and I can backup the individual files of course, but I can’t backup just the OS drive.

btrfs didn’t exist when I created it, but I use it on my NAS and it’s great.

I’ll be rebuilding my media server one day and change LVM to btrfs.

Yeah, my default go to is a site-to-site OpenVPN tunnel, but thought I’d look around at what the kool kidz are doing these days. Thanks.
