sanoid VS Healthchecks

I’m on the other end of the spectrum. I like knowing the flags and settings I use to create the pools.

For snapshots and replication take a look at sanoid (https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/sanoid).

I use a combo of PBS and ZFS with Sanoid. The ZFS snapshots are nice because you define it all in a config file with frequent, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly snaps retained however you want. Importantly I use that on the root pool as well as my data pools. With PBS I have a custom retention config and have it backing up VMs and LXCs every couple hours. The PBS dedupe functionality makes it possible to keep full backups going back ages with minimal storage consumption, just the changed blocks. PBS is running inside a VM yes, but it’s storage is on another pool.

No, it's written by the developer of Sanoid and Syncoid. The foremost open source ZFS snapshotting tool. He contributes on this sub all the time.

Hi there! Not so much to answer your questions, but are you aware of Sanoid and syncoid? It does backup and remote Sync in the most seamless way. Perhaps this would solve some of your concerns...

Hey mate, I'm using https://healthchecks.io/ for heartbeat monitoring my crons. It's been working flawlessly for quite some time now. The UI is super clean and easy to navigate. It's also free up to 20 monitored jobs. Note - I'm not in any way related to that project.

In fact, your platform (https://healthchecks.io/) is a prime example of where running customer wasm would be really excellent.

Instead of sending webhooks out to customer configured URLs, you could run a Wasm environment to execute customer code. Off hand, a good use case here is to do further inspection of the event before it gets sent off to some other system - maybe there are cases where you send false-positives and needlessly trigger external system alerts. The customer Wasm could do more introspection on the healthcheck event and make a more informed decision about how to proceed.

i use healthchecks.io and have been very happy

Is there anything different from https://healthchecks.io/ --- a service I've been using for free for a couple years now?

Because of this block on the router, and the fact that IPv6 connections are by default preferred over IPv4, many things on the system now cannot access the internet. the only things that can access the internet are for accessing servers that ONLY support IPv4 like my mail.smpt2go or my uptime monitoring scripts for healthchecks.io.

i use https://healthchecks.io/ and highly recommend it.

We use a heartbeat system. Basically the monitoring continuously sends an alert to a healtcheck system. If that heartbeat fails, PagerDuty sends an alert to the oncall.

i like healthchecks.io
