borgmatic VS uptime-kuma

- for important files, a separate box where I have borgmatic [1] in deduplication mode installed; this is updated once in a while

Just curious: Do you have any reason to believe that such a data corruption bug is likely in ZFS? It seems like saying that ext4 could have a bug and you should also store stuff on NTFS, just in case (which I think does not make sense..).

Not really dumb. I do use them too but with Borgbackup on the top (since they support it natively).

I found Borgmatic ( https://torsion.org/borgmatic/ ) to be the best way to run my backups. It takes care of everything from pruning to verifying the checksum etc... and it integrates with some monitoring (like cronitor).

So Borgmatic + rsync.net is the best combo

For backups I use Borg myself. If you need a GUI, you can use Vorta or Pika. With borgmatic, there is also a wrapper that extends the range of functions of Borg.

Furthermore, Borgmatic is a wrapper for Borg that extends or improves the range of functions.

For those of you not familiar, borgmatic is a very convenient tool which runs as a wrapper around borg.

I recommend Borg and Borgmatic. Automated, easy to setup, capable of notifying you if anything happens, deduplication and compression makes backups smaller, etc.

To add to this, Borg backup can be a little daunting to configure. There is a wrapper script called Borgmatic that distills it down to a single yaml config file. There are also some cloud hosts like BorgBase and rsync.net with native Borg support.

Uptime Kuma can also monitor certificate expiration; you can also enable it to show you how many days are left until it expires.

2. Uptime Kuma

- Web terminal & live logs

I'm trying it as an alternative to Portainer and I'm loving it. It seems to fit perfectly in my flow.

FYI - Uptime Kuma supports push-based monitoring as well.

Uptime-Kuma for Watching Services

I have tunnel up and running as described on this page: https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/wiki/Reverse-Proxy-with-Cloudflare-Tunnel

Uptime Kuma is a self-hosted monitoring service that you can use to keep track of the heath of your applications, websites, and APIs. You can configure it to watch services with different types of health checks and set up email notifications for when there are problems. Uptime Kuma also lets you design custom status pages that you can use to share public information about your service health statuses and to manage incidents.
