Does Actual support investment accounts / stocks? I was using beancount/fava for tracking, but have been lazy and haven’t updated it in a long time.

It’s already been recommended, but I think Grist or a lowcode/nocode thing like baserow or nocodb might work for you.

Also, I’d love to see what you come up with! My cats are picky eaters and I’ve been wanting to keep track of what wet food they like or not.

I use the Nexus free version. You can cache docker registries and other repos like apt/yum/pypi/etc.

It works pretty well, but could be overkill compared to some of the other options.

If the operator doesn’t allow it for some reason, uninstall it and try with the helm chart instead?

Or is there a reason to use the operator?

Why not?

OpenHAB was OK the last time I used it. I’m not sure what other big options there are.

You can use docker exec with garage docker image.

I’m on mobile but I think you just need something like: docker exec containerid ./garage stats

Any comparisons to SilverBullet.md? It’s my favorite so far

Do you use garage for backups by any chance? I was wanting to deploy it in kubernetes, but one of my uses would be to back up volumes, and… that doesn’t really help me if the kubernetes cluster itself is broken somehow and I have to rebuild it.

I kind of want to avoid a separate cluster for storage or even separate vms. I’m still thinking of deploying garage in k8s, and then just using rclone or something to copy the contents from garage s3 to my nas

This is an option, my main reason for not wanting to use a hosted k8s service is cost. I already have the hardware, so I’d rather use it first if possible.

Though I have been thinking of converting some sites to be statically-generated and hosted externally.

Network Policies are a good idea, thanks.

I was more worried about escaping the container, but maybe I shouldn’t be. I’m using Talos now as the OS and there isn’t much on the OS as it is. I can probably also enforce all of my public services to run as non-root users and not allow privileged containers/etc.

Thanks for recommending crowdsec/falco too. I’ll look into those

It’s mostly working fine for me.

An alternative I tried before was just whitelisting which IPs are allowed to access specific ingresses, but having the ingress listen on both public/private networks. I like having a separate ingress controller better because I know the ingress isn’t accessible at all from a public ip. It keeps the logs separated as well.

Another alternative would be an external load balancer or reverse proxy that can access your cluster. It’d act as the “public” ingress, but would need to be configured to allow specific hostnames/services through.

I did actually consider a 3rd cluster for infra stuff like dns/monitoring/etc, but at the moment I have those things in separate vms so that they don’t depend on me not breaking kubernetes.

Do you have your actual public services running in the public cluster, or only the load balancer/ingress for those public resources?

Also how are you liking garage so far? I was looking at it (instead of minio) to set up backups for a few things.

Quadlet

I haven’t heard of Quadlet before this, thanks I’ll take a look at it.

Unraid has this with their cache pools. ZFS can also be configured to have a cache drive for writes.

You can also DIY with something like mergerfs and separate file systems.

What you read online may have been referring to how cloudflare itself can always see the unencrypted traffic?

Cloudflare tunnels are encrypted, but inside of that encrypted tunnel could be a regular http stream.

Do you need to search inside of files for text, or just file names?

If inside of files, something simple like ripgrep/ag/grep like someone else mentioned would be an easy option.

If just file names, why not create an index of filenames and search that instead?

If you need an advanced search, maybe ElasticSearch would work for you? You’d have to upload each file to the elasticsearch server though.

I have not had any issues with Kopia so far, but I have also only used it for maybe a year? My main reason for trying it was that I wanted to be able to give something to family members to use as a backup client with a reasonable ui. I can also control the default exclude list and default policies for compression/etc pretty easily.

I don’t know how many years of restic backups I have, but I still rely on it for my most important data. Anything really important on my desktop/laptop gets backed up via kopia, but also gets copied (usually via nextcloud) to a server that has hourly zfs snapshots and daily restic snapshots. Both the restic and kopia snapshots get stored on a local nas and then synced to rsync.net.

I was talking about dumping the database as an alternative to backing up the raw database files without stopping the database first. Taking a filesystem-level snapshot of the raw database without stopping the database first also isn’t guaranteed to be consistent. Most databases are fairly resilient now though and can recover themselves even if the raw files aren’t completely consistent. Stopping the database first and then backing up the raw files should be fine.

The important thing is to test restoring :)

If you’re worried a out a database being corrupt, I’d recommend doing an actual backup dump of the database and not only backing up the raw disk files for it.

That should help provide some consistency. Of course it takes longer too if it’s a big db
