sqlite-zstd VS vorta

Have you compared LZ4 to other compression algorithms, zstd for example? ( https://github.com/phiresky/sqlite-zstd )

Given that LiteFS operates at the filesystem layer via FUSE, have you considered it against designs that use built-in features native to some filesystems? For example, I've considered a similar system design based on a single ZFS primary node that streams ZFS snapshots to reader nodes. With some coordination service (e.g. consul) it could still allow for the whole node promotion process.

There's library to compress sqlite databases with extensions like sqlite-zstd.

You can also try sqlite-zstd [1], which is an sqlite extension allows transparent compression of individual rows by automatically training dictionaries based on groups of data rows.

Disclaimer: I made it and it's not production ready

Actually yes! It could even be paid in the context of this year's Google Summer of Code:

Or if you join as mentor, you will be supporting the Python Foundation.

If interested, just email the address in my HN profile.

I use the Vorta Borg Desktop Client and the backups live on an inexpensive Storage VPS.

If you need to encrypt your backups (or even if you don't) I would suggest borgbackup and vorta, it makes differential backups so each one after the first is only the size of the changes mine are roughly 50 MiB each, so its much faster and space efficient than whole backups using something like tar or rsync.

Since I know that borg backup it is a pretty solid tool I wanted to give it a try and I ended up choosing Vorta to have a nice GUI experience.

Different UI and backend, but would vorta (borg front end) work?

For possible projects, tasks and how to apply, see the official ideas page, ask your questions on IRC or right here on Reddit. We look forward to welcoming you!

A bit like me. Got started setting up a webshop for my first startup and had to learn Apache and PHP.

If anyone with similar skills (Python, Docker, Shell) reads this and looks do get started, do check out our Google Summer of Code projects for this year. You'll get paid and can pick any task in this field: https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code...

I had to compile gcalcli, which eventually got merged in the repos. I also compiled Vorta and Grace.
