kilo VS restic

For the particular case of creating a wireguard mesh network in kubernetes, I've been quite happy with Kilo[0]. Does anyone with experience in both kilo and netmaker know how they compare?

Then using something like this: https://docs.tigera.io/calico-enterprise/latest/compliance/encrypt-cluster-pod-traffic#value or: https://github.com/squat/kilo

Another one for the alternatives list is Kilo[1]

It's a wireguard based kubernetes network overlay. I use it to access private services in my homelab cluster from my laptop, phone, etc.

Sorry, big typo, I meant "Kilo" and not "Silo"...

Networking: Manually configured wireguard VPN between all nodes. I consider checking out kilo when I find some time though. VPS handles all incoming traffic (with ingress-nginx) but outbound traffic from containers uses regular network, no VPN.

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.
