Not exactly self hosting but maintaining/backing it up is hard for me. So many “what if”s are coming to my mind. Like what if DB gets corrupted? What if the device breaks? If on cloud provider, what if they decide to remove the server?

I need a local server and a remote one that are synced to confidentially self-host things and setting this up is a hassle I don’t want to take.

So my question is how safe is your setup? Are you still enthusiastic with it?

    Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:

    Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.

    Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?

    I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.
