Anyone know which folders I should add to the backups for NGINX, MYSQL, PHP server? Would /var alone be fine?
RACKNERD PARTY FOREVER AND EVER!
The defaults paths are usually under var (/var/www/* and /var/lib/mysql) though don't forget to also backup the config files within /etc.
Though for the DB, it would probably be best to use mysqldump though it could take a long time if it's a large DB.
Sounds good, offloading to where though? incremental backups require a lot of storage.
WHO-NEEDS-SLEEP-ANYWAY ?!
Thanks a lot for that input. I am gonna do that now.
What he said, you can create a cron to dump the DBs periodically in a folder you can sync for backup.
For now, locally. Haven't yet decided of another home for it. Anyways, I am only gonna retain 4 of daily backups. So, I guess that's fine.
Well yeah, it will be fine, but I always have a backup for the backup and now I am thinking of getting a few HDDs to set up a raid array at Homelab for the local copy of backups as well, talk about costly...
Though expensive, it seems like a fun project. What bay/NAS are you planning to buy?
CANT-SLEEP-WONT-SLEEP
Alright rsnapshot and mysqldump setup and croned. What next?!
I will probably build one from scratch using the xtreme machine's case and ecc-supported cheap am4 board and processor.
Sounds cool, but, won't that mean increased electricity bills? Isn't there a more inexpensive option. I have wondered about this, and believe it'd be enough for my case, but, you being an advanced dude, might not work for you.
I was planning to build a home server with two old hard drives connected to my Android box using an externally powered SATA dock that supports two drives. You could also try using the Pi board you introduced me to yesterday.
Go go go page 795 go go go
Just 5 pages for page 800
Can't sleep won't sleep racknerd gang
What are you trying to build btw? NAS? Earlier you were tinkering with mail server.
WAY TO 800
Electricity is cheap ?
I have only seen him on black friday hehe
Read again, he said it's expensive and he would rather use something else that won't consume as much electricity
This is getting slow guys, we have only 5 pages to burn to get to our goal. Lets do it
Hello @dustinc I would like to ask for a double band, please
Order number 4130774669
You lead bro.. GO GO.
I won't be using an hungry CPU at all if intended for storage, will be fine with 4300g or 4600g tuned down to 35-45W, and it's enough for a storage server with raid i guess, i guessing the total TDP for this won't be crossing 250w at all, and if i replace the processor with 4300ge or 4600ge i can further reduce the chomping down power to let's say 200w as for system i think i will go with truenas or unraid depending on the budget, as for android connected storage i can do that as well since i already have a spare arm sbc module running dietpi, but it won't be something i can rely on as i will not only be setting up the storage for backup but for personal remote storage and backup service too, for photos and videos to dump data from my devices while i am sleeping, so for me raid looks like much more secure with running few instances of let's say docker images here and there.
It can be cheap if i install solar panels, i mean 40K for 2KW solar panels is perfectly fine with me and it will run my homelab perfectly fine,
No, this was a project I had planned a few months ago, but had to quit as the SATA dock stopped working.
Yah lotta similarities with the Chef
You are right there. But still 250W is too much compared to what an ARM device would pull for this including the SATA dock. WDYT?
