A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Looking for recommendations for backing up laptops to my Unraid NAS. I'm running Immich for photos, and want something for incremental backup of the laptops (Win 11 and Linux). What do you guys like?

I use Resilio to duplicate locally to my Unraid, which I know is hated as it's not the FOSS Syncthing, but in 5 years of use, it's never gone wrong, and the client software is dead easy to use. That has a hidden .sync folder which archives deleted files for 30 days. You can change the timeframe or remove this feature in settings. I go into the sync folder and remove the deleted files manually if it becomes too bloated.

From my Unraid, I then backup to Hetzner using Duplicacy, which with the GUI is also very easy to use. From what I've read about the other backup solutions being a bit flaky, Duplicacy seems to have nothing but love.
