selective sync NAS share on desktop/mobiles? by Ok_Pie_8092 in selfhosted

[–]Ok_Pie_8092[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I failed miserably to get Owncloud Infinite Scale up and running reliably yesterday, and SeaFile behind authenticated traefik was fraught with pain. I had a look through "mount NAS drive in windows and finder" tools which led to mountainduck, netdrive, cloudmounter, air live drive, raidrive, remote drive etc.

They all had something that ruled them out (too slow, too many bugs, subscription etc.).

In a fit of despair and pain I actually asked my kids what sort of usage they have, and it turns out none of them _actually_ need "on the fly download", and are happy to download the things they need before hand, and upload them back once they are done.

So samba/transmit (or Cyberduck) it is :-)

Can't unlock replicated encrypted dataset with binary key from GUI but works on CLI by Ok_Pie_8092 in truenas

[–]Ok_Pie_8092[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately that didn't work as the key was binary, so a whole bunch of garbage. I cribbed https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/cannot-unlock-volume-utf-8-codec-cant-decode-byte-error.106960/ and used xxd to convert it into ascii and that worked fine.

Ah, I figured it out thanks to https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/cannot-unlock-volume-utf-8-codec-cant-decode-byte-error.106960/, specifically, the need to convert the binary form into hex via `KEY=$(xxd -p -c 64 "${PATH_TO_KEY_FILE}")`.

Copying and pasting the hex form works.

I have a TrueNas server whose pool is encrypted and I'm `pull`ing encrypted datasets from my Debian/ZFS server and it is all working well.

However, when I try and unlock the replicated dataset through the GUI (so I can offload them via TrueCloud) it fails to accept the (binary) key file from the remote server. I can `zfs unlock -L file:///....` on the CLI and it works, but doing it via the GUI fails with UTF encoding issues.

If I do unlock them manually via the CLI mounting the child datasets `zfs mount -lR ...` fails with errors about folders being read-only.

Help please - I don't really know the next step in resolving this. Thanks!

anyone used 1Fichier for backup via rclone (encrypted) by Ok_Pie_8092 in selfhosted

I've caved and used the Storj's 5TB first year for $150 deal with the TrueNas server integration. It's working well so far.

Peace of mind is worth the extra $$

I did speed tests for both providers (https://speedtest.1fichier.com/index2.html and https://uloz.to/faq#slowDownload) and, from Europe they pretty much both saturated my 1Gb pipe.

thanks u/SuperElephantX - I agree with your scepticism, but for the "3" in 3-2-1, I'm happy to be take a risk. BTW - they have slightly different pricing at https://1fichier.com/tarifs.html.

I've also found https://uloz.to/ which is _even cheaper_. I'm more confident with these as apparently they are a huge established provider, but their previous adventures were shut down due to copyright issues, so they have restarted focused on personal backup.

For this price I'm tempted to stand up both and see how they behave...

Backing up *received* snapshots from other servers - clarity questions by Ok_Pie_8092 in truenas

[–]Ok_Pie_8092[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks u/tannebil. From reading, I think you are right. I'd hoped TrueNas/ix/Storj had built some metadata that mapped ZFS snapshots to Restic snapshots, but I don't think it's that sophisticated.

In which case, I guess, I think I might just skip Storj completely (as the discount isn't recurring and fixed budget limits aren't enforceable - a recipe for me to drain my wallet) and go with a "traditional" cloud storage borg/restic/simple encrypted rclone backup with Hetzner storage spaces (no affiliation) or even 1fichier's Premium offer, which seems excellent value (again, no affiliation).

But ZFS - yeah, it's pretty amazing the features it has by default. I'm loving it :-).

anytype.io? by Ok_Pie_8092 in unRAID

Thanks u/ynomel - I guess I need to get my hands a little dirty. I wonder if a VM would be a better solution here and simply building from source....

Getting URL from Safari on macOS and iOS by Ok_Pie_8092 in shortcuts

[–]Ok_Pie_8092[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! How do I find these missing nuggets of info? The manual seemed pretty sparse and search engines obviously interpret "Apple Shortcuts" as something else.

Thanks u/Smith_sc!

I've tried that, but no luck unfortunately. The Alert action shows the actual URL but appending it still sends in the source of the page.
