Personally will be trying to transform my server which is currently in a fractal R5 case, into a small-ish Homelab rack, combined with all my network equipment. Will require complete relocation of all network equipment in the house as well as cables so it will be a bit of a project. Also on the lookout for a good quality rack so let me know if you have any recs. Still unsure if u want to do full width rack or mini. Part of me really want the UDM Pro from Unifi..

What are your goals and thing you want to accomplish during 2025?

I think what I need to do correctly on my homelab this year, is setup off-site backups. I currently only backup to seperate drives and machines inside my own home. I need to setup something at my parents place to take weekly and monthly backups.

Other than that, my media server needs a bigger storage drive.

Hetzner storage box is super cheap and works with rclone. They have a web interface for configuring regular zfs snapshots too so you don't have to worry about accidental deletions/ransomware.

True. I'd have to get the €11/month box for it though. It's cheaper to set up one of my Raspberry Pi's with an external drive I already have. I just need to figue out how it's best to transfer and dedublicate the data. :)

[–] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nope, you don't need any VPS to use it, it comes with an SFTP interface.

offsite backup for $2/TB and no download fees, 1/3rd the price of B2.

[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah. I would need the 5 TB one for my stuff, so that is the €11/month box.

[–] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 1 points 2 years ago

Ah, ok I see.

[–] timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Personally I'd recommend restic and backblaze b2 if I were you. Dedup and quick.

[–] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

only need dedup if your data is duplicated

[–] timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Which they expressly said they wanted in the comment I responded to...

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I got no backups ao ur doing better than me. If 1 ssd dies there goes all my data.

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago

Backups are key! Need to work on this myself too!

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I did this recently. Opendrive is free up to 5 gb and works with rclone. All I'm backing up is the config and data needed to recreate my containerized services. I've even had to recreate them from the backup, once.

I snagged an old fiber LTO5 drive.. just got to work out how to get it powered and then spend hours fiddling with silly old tapes.
