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.

Regardless of service, if you don't test your backups, you have none.
Ehhh I would say then you have probabilistic backups. There's some percent chance they're okay, and some percent chance they're useless. (And maybe some percent chance they're in between those extremes.) With the odds probably not in your favor. 😄
Schrodinger's backups.
Exactly.
Not so much about testing, but one time I really needed to get to my backups I lost password to the repository (I'm using restic). Luckily a copy of it was stored in bitwarden, but until I remembered it, were perhaps one of the worst moments.
Needless to say, please test backups and store secrets in more then one place.
