[1990.68 → 1991.84] plugged in and mounted on the wall. |
[1992.02 → 1995.68] I do power cycle them on occasion, but not regularly. |
[1995.68 → 2000.50] And with the home assistant app on Android, like there is something I could do there, but |
[2000.50 → 2002.46] I'm not looking for onesie those solutions. |
[2002.58 → 2004.86] I'm kind of looking for something that would work for everything. |
[2005.20 → 2010.62] I'm going to plug something that our community started about six months ago called Halcyon, |
[2010.72 → 2012.86] home assistant Linux companion app. |
[2013.24 → 2016.42] And there's a link in the show notes, halcyon.CASA. |
[2016.42 → 2023.86] It's a Rust based application designed to run on Linux systems to present those metrics |
[2023.86 → 2024.56] to home assistant. |
[2025.26 → 2028.14] It's early days, and it needs some love and some works still. |
[2028.30 → 2032.70] But if you're interested in that, check out, there's a dedicated channel in the discord |
[2032.70 → 2033.68] for Halcyon as well. |
[2034.00 → 2035.04] And it's written in Rust. |
[2035.14 → 2035.94] So what more could you want? |
[2036.10 → 2036.78] I love that. |
[2037.24 → 2041.78] Now, Brad writes in, I'm looking into moving off Google photos like everybody else. |
[2041.78 → 2045.22] It seems I've landed on Plex photos as my solution. |
[2045.62 → 2051.66] I have some friends that are also self-hosted, and I've given them WireGuard access and they |
[2051.66 → 2056.94] said I can have a few hundred gigs of storage on their networks for my photos and vice versa. |
[2057.54 → 2061.54] What I'm stuck on though is an encrypted backup method for backups. |
[2061.76 → 2062.96] I've tried Duplicate. |
[2063.24 → 2066.26] I've tried some other backup solutions. |
[2066.54 → 2071.06] I don't really care about how it backs up file changes as the library is growing. |
[2071.06 → 2072.54] I'm not editing the photos. |
[2072.68 → 2074.30] So only incremental is needed. |
[2074.66 → 2078.50] They do need to be encrypted though, because they're going to be on a remote LAN. |
[2079.14 → 2082.52] Now, I haven't done a lot of research on this yet, but do you know of any software that |
[2082.52 → 2088.30] doesn't automate one way backup phone to server, for example, to get the photos off |
[2088.30 → 2092.46] my phone and onto the server where I can delete them off my phone, and they will stay on the |
[2092.46 → 2092.72] server. |
[2093.14 → 2094.48] Looking forward to future episodes. |
[2094.80 → 2095.82] Thanks, Brad. |
[2096.18 → 2097.24] This is a good question. |
[2097.38 → 2099.10] Duplicate is not quite cutting it. |
[2099.10 → 2101.64] And so what do you step up to essentially? |
[2101.88 → 2104.34] And you don't want something probably that's a lot to manage either. |
[2104.66 → 2108.36] Oh, Duplicate has just wound me up over the years. |
[2108.50 → 2113.36] You know, it just silently fails and stuff just breaks and there's no way to monitor it. |
[2113.42 → 2115.36] And you can only configure it through the GUI. |
[2115.72 → 2116.84] It's a great app. |
[2116.94 → 2121.76] It just isn't very reliable, which is not really suitable for a backup system. |
[2122.14 → 2122.30] Yeah. |
[2122.30 → 2127.90] I don't know where the failure process, when my backups failed, when my Google Drive payment |
[2127.90 → 2129.74] expired or switched. |
[2129.98 → 2131.94] I don't know where the failure was exactly. |
[2132.12 → 2134.14] I don't know if there wasn't a notification, but I don't know what. |
[2134.66 → 2135.96] It was ultimately it was my fault. |
[2136.40 → 2141.30] I thought about recommending Borg, which is a really solid backup open source solution. |
[2141.74 → 2143.28] It's pretty space efficient. |
[2143.28 → 2145.94] It gives you good encrypted backups. |
[2146.06 → 2149.62] It supports compression, and it'll use Fuse, too. |
[2149.66 → 2153.70] So you can do kind of creative ways to mount file systems, which could be kind of nice. |
[2154.24 → 2155.58] And it has a pretty large community. |
[2155.74 → 2157.70] You can find it at borgbackup.org. |
[2157.80 → 2159.16] That might be worth looking into. |
[2159.72 → 2160.46] Borg is an alternative. |
[2161.40 → 2162.40] Rustic is another one. |
[2162.46 → 2165.00] We mentioned autocratic and Rustic last episode. |
[2165.32 → 2166.18] That's another one. |
[2166.18 → 2172.44] But for getting the things off your phone, I've just been really happy with the Nextcloud app. |
[2172.70 → 2177.46] It backs up everything off my phone in full quality to my Nextcloud instance. |
[2177.92 → 2180.30] And then from there, I can do with them whatever I want to. |
[2180.76 → 2184.60] That's the one we hear the most often from the audience, too, is the Nextcloud solution. |
[2184.96 → 2189.48] We have gotten a recommendation a couple of times into the show about Photosync as well, |
[2189.54 → 2190.70] which is in the Android Play Store. |
[2190.82 → 2191.72] Photosync, one word. |
[2191.72 → 2198.08] And the nice thing about Photosync is it supports various different kinds of network backup options, |
[2198.18 → 2200.34] even Samba, if you want to go that route. |
[2200.78 → 2203.12] You could just back up your photos over Samba from Android. |
[2203.44 → 2205.22] So I'll put a link to that in the show notes as well. |
[2205.68 → 2208.08] Now, you mentioned in your question about Plex Photos, |
[2208.20 → 2213.84] and this is a terrible time to be adopting Plex Photos as a solution, unfortunately. |
[2214.74 → 2218.60] Plex document on their support pages that as of June 2021, |
[2219.52 → 2221.38] camera upload is going to be discontinued. |
[2221.38 → 2223.00] Womb, womb. |
[2223.08 → 2223.56] Yeah, boy. |
[2223.78 → 2228.22] And I think a lot of us are just getting, we're just getting a little Plex skeptical. |
[2228.96 → 2231.80] We're still Plex hopeful, but we're getting Plex skeptical. |
[2232.20 → 2237.94] And I do have to admit personally that Plex skepticism I'm feeling right now would probably, |
[2238.94 → 2242.08] I'd hesitate from using Plex Photos myself for a back, |
[2242.12 → 2243.86] and I'm not using it because of that reason. |
[2243.86 → 2247.10] Dare I say, Plex are becoming the Google of the self-hosted world, |
[2247.20 → 2253.08] just killing stuff randomly and not focusing on the core products like they should be? |
[2253.20 → 2253.64] I don't know. |
[2253.72 → 2255.06] I guess I feel it's kind of mean. |
[2255.32 → 2262.16] They are such a smaller team that they do have to be a little more conservative about where they spend their time and money, |
[2262.24 → 2268.24] where Google's like this, you know, this just financial monster powerhouse supplied by an endless amount of ad money. |
[2268.24 → 2271.38] So it's like, come on, you know, maybe you could keep this going. |
[2271.74 → 2273.36] Maybe you could invest a little more in Stadia. |
[2273.50 → 2274.84] You know, like right now they're killing Stadia. |
[2275.26 → 2275.98] Drives me crazy. |
[2276.26 → 2278.48] I know it's not a self-hosted thing, but dang it. |
[2278.72 → 2281.74] Well, everybody knew that was going to happen even before it launched. |
[2282.08 → 2282.34] I know. |
[2282.42 → 2284.12] Like, did you see like some big exec just left? |
[2284.18 → 2287.32] Like the top Stadia exec just left Google or something? |
[2287.74 → 2288.12] Oh, really? |
[2288.34 → 2290.20] Yeah, not good, not good. |
[2290.42 → 2294.16] I was a big fan of it, even though I often have no internet when I'm out travelling. |
