well - I connect to WIN machine every 5years … I really don’t know compatibility of SSH on it. And i’m not planning to learn - on the other hand - browser is always there

let’s just assume thatI know what security risks are.

now let’s follow you idea- so what would be first step? I need to keep running whole instance of nextcloud for a few minutes where I transfer data. what would be the URL I need to access on remote machine? If it some domain with additional parameters in it - I’m trying it, and even if I do.., do I need to TYPE my username and password then? I don’t remember when I lost time type my password somewhere… not to mention that usually systems have some weird keyboard layout and I’m spending hours finding & sign on it :/ not ideal at all

(looking for) specific type of web chat (lemmy.world)
 

many times I find myself in situations where I’m on some computer which is totally isolated - friends computer, completely newly installed (VM), some corporate remote desktop where I can’t install anything — and I need to transfer some information to this computer.

Ideally what I would have is:

  • some sort of web chat
  • self hosted (so that I can spin it up only when I need it, and that I can “destroy” all the data after each session)
  • simple URL where you specify a room name edit it (eg.: domain.com/qck-321)
  • on open you specify username (no other authentication)
  • first person who joins needs to confirm all the others (so people can’t just “drop in”)
  • no fancy technology (web sockets,…)

what I found so far:

  • https://tlk.io/ - quite close but not all points
  • https://chitchatter.im/ - this one is quite promising but unfortunately it failed me on first windows remote machine (probably due to some firewall rule)

I’m more that prepared to develop something my self but first I would like to check if there is really nothing out there to solve this.

Bonus question- do you have any other approach - how do you transfer (potentially sensitive) information to a “isolated” machine?

How should I implement 2nd backup for my config (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) by mwalker789@lemmy.world to c/proxmox@lemmy.world

Here is my setup:

  • I have two proxmox installations (totally not related) on totally different locations
  • on both instances I have a few CTs and VMs
  • on both instances I run "backup job" where I create backup to a external USB drive - this is a "first" backup from where I can quickly restore if needed

What I want:

  • I want to have a separate (off-site) backup
  • I have Raspberry PI with 5TB USB storage
  • I want to use this raspi for both Proxmoxs

What would be the best solution for this?

What I was thinking (I don't think this is the most elegant solution):

  • install tailscale on raspi
    • (same on both proxmoxs)
    • create CT and install tailscale on it
    • in some interval push backup file form proxmox to CT and then this CT pushes backup over tailscale to raspi

edit: spelling
