I’ve never had an Oracle Cloud server. However, I do image backups of the server once a month, then test them in a VM, After hearing so much about Borg, I finally pulled the trigger and ran it from the cli for a while. Then I deployed Borg UI, and that’s pretty amazing. I used to use Duplicati, but while Duplicati seems great at making backups, it’s not so keen about doing restores. At least, that’s my experience.

Waiting for @philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club to come back up for air.

Blind selfhoster journey continues.

I just wanted to say, I could not imagine what it takes to do all of this without sight. When I think of some of my limitations that I gripe about, they pale in comparison. I may not understand exactly what it is you are doing, but the fact that you’re doing it is huge.

Respect!

…and you get restoration verifications.

We were/are all noobs at something at some point in our lives. I’ve had a computer in front of me since the mid 70’s, and I’m still a noob. Learning is one of the bigger draws to this whole scene to me. There is always room to learn, because there are always different approaches to the same problem.

I am very paranoid when it comes to security, so I don’t want to risk anything… 😄

Don’t relax that posture. A little paranoia can be a good thing.

You should be good with caveats:

• Permissions on: ~/.ssh: chmod 700 ~/.ssh
• Permissions on private keys: chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa or id_ed25519, etc.
• Permissions on public keys: chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

You can check with: ls -la ~/.ssh/

I feel that.

You’re still my brother man no matter what.

Welcome to the club dude/Dudette. Come on, don’t tease us…whatcha runnin’? Glad to have you here and it’s good to meet you.

Awww don’t be sad bro.

Great song BTW and yes, I keep having the same deja vu

self hosting a lyrics site

I remember when people were going to court for publishing lyric sites. Wow! Weird times.

follow those over his steps

You hurt me Shrek. lol

Ha! I commiserate with you. My eyes started to glaze over after a bit. Here are some notes that may help out. They have changed the site around several times so, things may not be exactly in the place as documented, so you might end up hunting around the site. But, this should get you down the road a piece. Additionally, I am running Ubuntu Jammy, so their may be slight differences, I’m not sure.

Now what

Congratulations on the new domain name! Now what? Well, first you don’t tell anyone here what it is. /s Since you are already with Cloudflare, why not go all out and set up Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust? Once you install Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust on the server, you no longer need to do all that port fiddling, NAT fiddling, none of that. If you decide to go the Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust route, I have some set up notes you might find beneficial. I’d be more than happy to share them. It isn’t that setting up Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust is hard, but it was a bit touch and go for me, but I got there, and wrote that shit down. LOL

@pmk@piefed.ca has some great advice about documentation. DO IT! Write everything down during deploy. After a successful deploy, distill your notes and clean them up. Make them a part of your 3,2,1 backup scheme.

Suricata would be a better choice given it’s natively multi-threaded

+1 for Suricata/inline

Slow day

It wouldn’t take much really. I run a little fanless standalone pFsense box:

• Intel® Celeron® CPU J3160 @ 1.60GHz
• Current: 1600 MHz, Max: 1601 MHz
• 4 CPUs : 1 package(s) x 4 core(s)
• 8 GB RAM
• 1 TB SSD

Last time someone asked this question, I believe the going eBay price was in the $175 to $275 USD range. Mine sits between my modem and everything else, servers, cams, PCs, laptops, et al. I haven’t experienced any bottlenecks or sluggishness.
