[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-hosters and I've given them WireGuard access and they |
[2051.66 --> 2056.94] said I can have a few hundred gig 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 Duplicati. |
[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 automated 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] Duplicati 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, Duplicati 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] Restic is another one. |
[2162.46 --> 2165.00] We mentioned auto-restic and Restic 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 kind 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 really bad 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] Womp, womp. |
[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 traveling. |
[2294.34 --> 2298.88] I just love the idea of being able to play Stadia on any machine I want, Alex. |
[2299.08 --> 2301.82] You know, games on a machine with just a really crappy video card. |
[2301.90 --> 2302.42] I don't care. |
[2303.30 --> 2304.02] Here's some neat ideas. |
[2304.50 --> 2309.06] Well, I'm actually thinking about building my own self-hosted gaming setup here in the studio just using Steam, though. |
[2309.06 --> 2312.12] You know, just have it on the LAN and just stream it to the boxes that way. |
[2312.58 --> 2316.48] Use Steam, use Parsec, Moonlight, all these different streaming protocols. |
[2316.88 --> 2318.08] Lots of different ways to skin that. |
[2318.12 --> 2318.40] Turkey. |
[2318.70 --> 2322.00] I want to say thanks to our members at selfhosted.show slash SRE. |
[2322.14 --> 2323.58] Become a site reliability expert. |
[2323.74 --> 2324.78] Keep the show on the air. |
[2324.88 --> 2331.84] And as a thank you, as a special thank you, as a golden thank you, a limited ad feed, just nice, tight production. |
