What I Self-host and Why
spsoul.blog
I tend to overestimate what I can do with no prior experience, but with an afternoon to spare I gave self-hosting a go anyway. It took way more than one afternoon.

I’ve only just realised this is an active community (thanks Sept25 Community Highlights) and am very excited to see what you all are up to and interested in. As a brief intro to my setup: https://spsoul.blog/what-i-self-host-and-why/

The one thing I haven’t quite worked out is backups. I know all about 3-2-1, but that’s a lot to setup for a little free homelab like mine. All I’m interested in is having a daily or weekly backup just in case my hard drive gives out . I don’t necessarily want to setup an entire RAID right now or pay another company to handle it, unless it’s relatively painless. What’s the simplest setup you’d recommend for a novice like me?

    Thank you! I think restic is the way to go it seems, the docker config seems reasonable. Now to find another hard drive to mount and point it to. Hetzner is very reasonably priced too!
