Crontab to just auto reboot daily is probably better - if your PC becomes unresponsive I doubt it would be able to execute another script on top of everything. Ideally though, you’d do some log diving and figure out the cause.

I got a NUC on ebay for about the same price, maybe a little less. Has more I/O and an SSD.

Friends don’t let friends use Snap.

Was about to mention Mikrotik. They even have a 100GBit switch for under $800 (CRS504-4XQ-IN).

Frigate + reolink is a great combo.

You can redirect all DNS traffic to your own DNS server to get around this.

Yeah. My solution is to do the negotiation on my microtik switch. Basically I input 10G to the switch from the router, and then use the switch to change the speed of the connection.

I do admit I am graced by low power costs due to hydro, and if that wasn’t the case I probably wouldn’t have done it.

So, sort of along the same vein. I recently wanted to build a cheap 10G router. I found this SuperMicro X10SLH-N6-ST031 on ebay with 6x 10G RJ45 on it (they don’t do auto negotiation, and only run in either 1G or 10G) for roughly $60. This specific seller gave me a compatible CPU for free, already in the mobo. Of note, this motherboard is slightly longer than a micro-ATX motherboard, but still smaller than a full sized ATX board. Knowing this, I went for the safest option of finding a case that was compatible with both micro and full ATX. I ended up going with a Silvertone GD09B HTPC chassis.

After finding that, I wanted to make sure I could update the BIOS to include patches for Spectre and Meltdown. Lucky for me, users at servethehome already did this! The modded BIOS also enabled NVMe support. There’s also a lot of great info about this board and related projects in that thread.

It works perfectly for my use case. I think with the NICs, it runs at about 100W idle. More than a normal switch, but cheaper for the hardware at least compared to other 10G switches. Might be worth considering!

I’m curious where you run into there not being a YAML option? There’s almost always Open in YAML somewhere.

I can’t speak for Proxmox specifically, but Duplicacy works great on my unRAID box and has a fully built out GUI. One of the best solutions I’ve found for my uses so far.

You are probably correct! I always forget about the UID…

You might try adding :rw after each of your volume paths, like this:

volumes:
      - /path/to/appdata/config:/config:rw

My honest suggestion would be to ditch Duplicati for Duplicacy. Duplicacy is one time payment, but it’s much more polished than Duplicati. I actually had major issues with recovering files from Duplicati; sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn’t. Not ideal for something as critical as backup software.

I believe Duplicacy supports S3 endpoints at the very least.

Duplicacy is a great solution, well worth the cheap price. It can do changes only over many different protocols.

I also would recommend setting up something like Uptime-Kuma on it, and also an instance of it home. This way you have an external monitor for your own home network, but also a monitor for your backups! Both Duplicacy and Uptime-Kuma can run on docker.

Regardless of service, if you don’t test your backups, you have none.

I hate to ask the scary question, but have you tried to restore your backups before? I used Duplicati and discovered that none of my backups were usable and ended up switching to Duplicacy.

This is almost my exact backup workflow, with another location in between. Duplicacy is great, highly recommend.

I sure hope there isn’t a rm -rf floating around in there somewhere… kind of like a certain past incident with major gaming client.
