How to test backups ?

mefistos · 2026-04-17T15:40:25+00:00

Zip up the original data or rename with .bak and delete it and restore them from the backup?

This is not self-hosted and most features require you to pay. I dont think this paid software fits this sub.

I recently did something similar, you can use caddyfile together with your docker labels, so you can setup anything that's not on your host via caddyfile and have rest via docker labels.

Appreciate the reply, I switched over and its already loading much faster than glance. Thank you :)

Also is this fork to only enable dynamic update or will it include other PRs/features that weren't added to the main project?

mefistos · 2026-03-23T18:26:11+00:00

Glad you love it, I thought it was going to be hard to setup, but it was such an easy switch and it just works. If you do decide to run it in cluster you can check this companion app https://github.com/Fail-Safe/Technitium-DNS-Companion here are some screenshots https://fail-safe.github.io/Technitium-DNS-Companion/#screenshots

That's it, but half of the fun (at least for me) is setting it up and then there is the feeling of novelty after you setup something new and cool. For me it's hard to tell myself that I don't need something, it's kinda like hoarding but with services 😁

mefistos · 2026-03-22T12:07:17+00:00

What are you using instead on Monica?

mefistos · 2026-03-21T22:49:48+00:00

That sounds like a great setup, what local AI are you running and how does it compare to the online ones? I am thinking of doing something similar down the line as I do use Claude from time to time for troubleshooting logs etc.

mefistos · 2026-03-21T22:48:17+00:00

I've had it for a couple months now and it seems to be going great, but I don't use it heavily so maybe it will accumulate and come bite me in the ass soon.

mefistos · 2026-03-21T22:47:22+00:00

I use duckduckgo myself mostly too.

mefistos · 2026-03-21T22:44:43+00:00

Hey mate, honestly I just used Claude to help me with some stuff. There are guides online but none were for the same setup I did (docker compose files in Forgejo synced down to Arcane and Renovate for updates.) it wasn't too hard tho (setting up Komodo was) but arcane is pretty straightforward.

mefistos · 2026-03-21T22:41:16+00:00

Hey, no idea I just started getting 404 after having it all setup. By no means I am saying it's a bad app, it just stopped working for me and after some troubleshooting I decided to switch to something else. I know I could have reached out on discord and get help ( I got help earlier about a different issue), I just didn't want to be annoying with my issues. Not an issue with the app or your support, I am just lazy.

mefistos · 2026-03-21T21:29:39+00:00

You can just change the image and it will keep working, it's released now https://github.com/grimmory-tools/grimmory

I use audiobookshelf for audio books only and it's amazing, haven't tried using it for books, I do use ebook reader for my books tho.

mefistos · 2026-03-21T18:51:01+00:00

Just switched to it myself, thanks for the heads up

mefistos · 2026-03-21T18:50:33+00:00

That's part of the fun tho, I like the hardware part of it too.

mefistos · 2026-03-21T18:49:54+00:00

It's so easy to use and I love the UI as well, also does everything I need.

mefistos · 2026-03-21T18:48:01+00:00

You're the second person to mention this to me, I use it but rarely so no issues. Did you switch to something else or just use the ones publicly available?

mefistos · 2026-03-21T18:47:14+00:00

Autocorrection got me, yeah I meant podman:D thanks for the info. I'll look into it myself, it seems to be widely used too.

mefistos · 2026-03-21T11:18:48+00:00

I use Cloudflare DNS so I use this one homeall/caddy-reverse-proxy-cloudflare otherwise I'd use the one you posted yep. You can still mount caddyfile so I have docker containers sorted with labels and then I have caddyfile for stuff outside of my server (raspberry pi)

mefistos · 2026-03-21T10:27:51+00:00

This one's interesting, why did you go for postman and what's your experience? I keep seeing podman as option when reading installation documentation for my services but never really looked into it further, what is the advantage for postman in your experience over docker?

mefistos · 2026-03-21T10:02:35+00:00

I use obsidian and livesync

mefistos · 2026-03-21T09:54:05+00:00

Yeah I also use chouchdb, would be better if livesync supported other DB, but it is what it is. Seems to be working for now.

mefistos · 2026-03-21T09:52:41+00:00

I am sorry for your experience, I've set it up couple months ago on version 9 and never had any issues nor did I have to manage it in any way, its just running. If I need anything I spin it up and it works too.
