That’s exactly what I was thinking. Humans suck at remembering history when they can’t see the consequences anymore.

OP said they don’t want/can’t use the built in paid sync service and wants to self host it

I’ve been putting everything behind Tailscale. I don’t see any reason to make it public unless you’re planning on sharing it with the public.

How much of a difference does the AMS make in terms of a general printing? If someone wasn’t planning to do multi color prints often or at all would it still be worth it?

I was thinking about that or an A1 Mini

Restic, it has native S3 compatibility and when you combine with something like B2 it makes amazing offsite storage so you can enjoy the tried and true 3-2-1 backup strategy.

Also fedora magazine did a few posts on setting it up with systemd that makes it SUPER EASY to get going if you need a guide.

I have an ansible role that configures it on everyone’s laptops so that they have local, NAS, and remote, B2, backup locations.

Works like a charm for the past 8+ years.

I’m never gonna give up on quite space… well played btw

Yeah that was my thoughts too. It’s not like it can’t be bypassed but it’s not “easy.” This is kinda how I see it going for commercial 3D printers. It’s not a bad thing either. I’ve always been a fan of making people earn dangerous knowledge & skills. Even in fictional universes like Star Trek there’s restrictions on using a replicator to make weapons.

So it’s not unreasonable, imho, to put some kind of guard rails up that force people to actively bypass restrictions in making weapons.

The trick will be telling the difference between making a nerf gun, action figure guns, and an actual weapon. That I don’t see being possible at this time. Too many edge cases that don’t neatly fit.

That is distinctly less whimsical

I LOVED it until I saw the price 😢

The US Government is entirely metric. It’s just the US Citizens that aren’t. So there’s this entire separation where no one uses metric, so nothing is made for metric, since nothing is made for metric, no one uses metric.

Obviously that’s changing over time plenty of people use a mixture of both systems all the time. The machines are mostly driving adoption at this point. 3D printers, cars, etc.

TBH have you tried just basic git? There’s a web interface built into git itself and you can use ssh for your repositories. It’s simple and just works. If you need a faster web interface there’s also cgit. There’s no bells and whistles either. Just configure ssh, drop your repos in /srv and get to work.

If you need more that just standard basic git the. The other suggestions here are great especially forgjo!

I use backblaze b2 for my storage. I use restic to backup everything to it. It works well and I’ve had it going for YEARS at this point. For things I could never replaced, like photos, I use external drives in addition to B2. Everyone knows that if something happens and we need to leave to just grab the drive that is stuck to the wall and the family photos will be safe.

My though process goes like this, everything backups to my home server. I have snap shots of the data on a normal basis. So if I need to get something back, going to a snap shot is pretty simple. If for some reason my server(s) just stopped existing for some reason I could pull it back from B2. I’ve only had to actually restore from B2 a handful of times and it was worth it.

Yeah, it was always too much for me. But I know quite a few people who run their entire business on it and they’re not small by any means. They hired some people to do custom work for modules too. They all started as small businesses too with Odoo and it just grew with them

Odoo

XMPP is fantastic IMHO

If you want to support a great project and have great uptime check out conversations.im

I don’t recommend self hosting something you want available all the time. That being said everyone has different needs/uses 😊

And when that happened I stoped watching prime and just put on my eye patch & tricorn 🏴‍☠️…

Though I’m still paying for the content I just watch it differently than intended 🤷‍♂️

Fedora Server, Rocky Linux, and/or Free RHEL dev license. That’s what I use for all of my stuff.

For containers I use podman kube. For storage I use ZFS and VDO.

Rocky & RHEL

Yeah that’s actually pretty common. There’s a lot of BOH appliances running freedos or dr dos.
