CoreDNS VS restic

CoreDNS supports this via the bind plugin.

I'd like to use Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 nameservers in Kubernetes, alongside DNS over TLS. It looks like I can do it using core-dns. I need to setup the following somehow:

Shamless plug for CoreDNS. Much better DNS server than classic bind9. And of course there's already a nice container image for it.

But another approach that could work in Kubernetes, because the DNS servers are within the cluster itself, would be to work directly with the DNS server pods. In most Kubernetes clusters, whether standalone or managed (GKE, AKS, EKS), the cluster DNS is either coredns or kube-dns. That was great to minimize how much configuration options we’d need to support. We realized we could edit the coredns or kube-dns configmap resources to enable their log option, which would make them log all the queries they handle. We’ll cover exactly how it’s done in more detail below.

CoreDNS has an ectd plugin, so your service could add entries to a database, which is used as record source. Not the same mechanism as you have described, but it will get the job done. Also this is what Kubetnetes does for incluster dns records.

nevermind there's caddy builtin upgrade method https://github.com/coredns/coredns/issues/6034

Coredns can be spun up in a docker container, just starting to get into it myself

CoreDNS is a pretty good DNS server.

Restic - GitHub

I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android.

I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/

I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook and Google.

I also keep extensive journals, which really helps to tie it all together. I can basically grep for hangouts, conversations, etc.

I also separate work journal from personal, and have essentially a journal for each project. https://jodavaho.io/tags/bullet-journal.html for how.

I religiously use Google calendar for all plans, you can easily search it for past events to get dates.

I also use monicahq for some notes about things I should remember about people but the habit never stuck.

After Borg, I switched to Restic:

AFAIK, the only difference is that Restic doesn't require Restic installed on the remote server, so you can efficiently backup to things like S3 or FTP. Other than that, both are fantastic.

I'm curious, too. I know they've had some issues in the past:

On the other hand, I tested around 15,000 backups last year (multiple hourly backups, daily tests) and they all passed.

I use and recommend restic. I use it for about 60 machines on my LAN, and it's absolutely fantastic.
