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.

You're right about testing backups. I will have 2 different backups, one for my config and the second for the irreplaceable media. Indeed, restoration from Glacier is too expensive for the data that I plan to back-up.
I was looking at Scaleway's Glacier offering, B2 and iDrive. How do you propose I test my backups? I could certainly pull in my config and test it on a VM, but how do I check that I have backed up my media? I plan to encrypt, compress, deduplicate and then ship it off.
I guess it depends on how you do it.
I use Kopia so I can easily mount a snapshot like a removable disk or restore a snapshot so I typically test my backups by simply restoring them
Thanks
