Two sites, one library: sync and backups
Keeping a copy of everything at both homes.
updated · Backups · Tailscale · Debian
The setup
The server at Site A holds the main library and service data. NextCloud copies it to the mini PC at Site B over Tailscale, so there’s always an off-site copy in a different building.
What’s backed up
- Media library
- Nextcloud files and calendars
- Container configs (also versioned in Gitea)
- Notes, Documents, and any other related files
Restores I’ve actually tested
Recently on my everyday PC I had to clear up space, by accident I deleted my local copies of school notes and documents, even a few code bases. With nextcloud it took about 2 hours to restore all my stuff with a 1 GB/S connection.
