    It is a copy-on-write filesystem, basically you can make snapshots of your filesystem and rollback from grub, snapper or timeshift make it quite easy. This has saved me quite a few times from broken updates, as long as grub works and you have a working snapshot you should be able to save your system. You can check out my guide on how to do it on arch, it is primarily for me as a reminder but you should be able to understand it too. https://github.com/Deebble/arch-btrfs-install-guide On Garuda linux and openSUSE you can have it automatically set up during install.

    (Fedora) Hey, I've recently installed a program called Snapper-GUI which I want to get rid of(installed it from github). I installed it using git clone, then cd into the directory then ran "python3 setup.py install". But I cannot figure out how to actually uninstall it, I've tried a few commands but it doesn't work.

    Secondly, since Snapper is already there in our repositories, adding snapper-GUI(https://github.com/ricardomv/snapper-gui) would be very handy to control BTRFS snapshots graphically.

    Thanks, but I had already done that, I was wondering if I could install this: https://github.com/ricardomv/snapper-gui
  • Backing up docker volumes
    4 projects | /r/selfhosted | 30 May 2021
    I use a tool called BTRBK to manage all of this. It takes snapshots at specific intervals, and sends them to an offsite backup servers, hooks to take snapshots before/after events like host upgrades (and host system snapshots show up in the grub menu for easy rollbacks) and pruning of older snapshots. There is no GUI though. There is another popular tool called Snapper that does have a third party GUI last I looked it had less features and was more complex than BTRBK.
