  • My setup is a bit different, but maybe you can reuse part of it. Instead of using swarm for HA, I’m using proxmox. The LXCs have a failover to other machine (if they go down), and a static IP address, so if the http proxy machine goes down, it boots back up in another machine, with the same IP (and thus a working port forward).

    This does mean that I have to keep the configuration in sync between different machines so my RPO is never too big, but for something like NPM where the config rarely changes, this isn’t much of an issue.




  • In 98 I was in my early teens, and I got Banjo-Kazooie I was so happy, I jumped up and down, told my parents that this was exactly the game I wanted. I was thrilled. They were thrilled that I was. Life was good.

    Unbeknownst to them, 2 weeks earlier I had carefully opened the gift, and had been playing the game over Christmas break. What I opened that night was an empty box, as the game sat inside the N64, where I was halfway to the end. Everyone won that Christmas. I won by playing sooner, and they won with my momentary fake enthusiasm (which was real, I really was thrilled to get the game).

    Something something, life was never that good again, and I can only hope to give half that feeling to my kids now.






  • For photos I use synology photos (it’s a legacy that’s good enough and I don’t want to migrate my parents and in-laws to immich). Photos are backed up logically into folders in normal type files, so in case the software stops working, it’s all still there.

    For documents I use paperlessngx. Its less friendly should it stop working (the documents are numbered going up, no human names) but they are still pdf/jpg whatever, so its just some more work to get to know what they are.

    Both of these have lasted me for years now, so I’m not too worried for the future.

    As for all other files, just some shared folders where I back stuff up based on my own use.
