Selfhosting personnal repo

My very simple self-hosting setup. On my new mini-pc. Gettings things simpler & simpler overtime. Check branch : archive_01 for old setup.

Not 100% reproductible (Maybe one day NixOs?), some light debugging & manual adjust when migrating. See random dump at the end

Backup

Done with restic (encrypted backup), inside family NAS. Managed via root crontab :

0 6 * * * restic -r /mnt/backup/usb-ssd-01 --password-file /root/.restic-pass backup /mnt/usb-ssd-01 && restic -r /mnt/backup/usb-ssd-01 --password-file /root/.restic-pass forget --keep-daily 7 --keep-weekly 4 --keep-monthly 6 --prune >> /var/log/restic.log 2>&1

0 5 * * * restic -r /mnt/backup/self-hosting --password-file /root/.restic-pass backup /home/mini-pc-01/SelfHosting && restic -r /mnt/backup/self-hosting --password-file /root/.restic-pass forget --keep-daily 7 --keep-weekly 4 --keep-monthly 6 --prune >> /var/log/restic.log 2>&1

Random dump / doc

Nextcloud

group & user : 33, chown nextcloud folders

Music folder owned by 1000 (for navidrome access) But I want nextcloud to also be able to move those files (easy access & add)

Solution :

sudo apt install acl
sudo setfacl -R -m u:33:rwx /.../.../Music

Also Nextcloud crontab thingy

sudo crontab -e
*/5 * * * * docker exec -u www-data nextcloud php /var/www/html/cron.php

Forgejo

postgres complaining when networking change : Check pg_hba.conf, change it if needed

Navidrome

Because external mess, Nextcloud can modify files etc...

PurgeMissing = "always"

TODO / Random vaguely related projects

• Old laptop as test server (probably on new branch)
• Maybe graphana things one day
