storj VS borgmatic

I did storj.io but was not profitable and the support was worthless. Did join NTP Pool (as I have a stratum 2 GPS NTP) but the power supply died and I haven't been able to get time to fix it.

Storj is based on blockchain technology and peer-to-peer protocols to provide secure, private, and encrypted cloud storage.

storj.io

I will eventually move to a synology ds260slim, but tbh I feel cloud storage is better storj.io not trying to sell it just saying it’s really really good and cheap.

That's storj.io. No need to reinvent the wheel.

You can even make money from storj.io !

- velero backups local pvc/manifests to storj.io (150GB is free)

Take a look at Storj for object storage. You can not beat it for pricing: $4/TB/month. The interface is compatible with S3 and there are only minimal changes to be done at mastodon's setup. Plus having your storage separate from your server makes migration and upgrades a 1000 times easier.

I'd recommend that you consider https://storj.io . They offer ridiculously redundant, and quite fast cloud storage.

I want to expose all ports. I’m trying to run a https://storj.io node that recommends noip but I want to switch to funnel. Im not exactly sure of the configuration, but I think it’s just every UDP/TCP port from a device.

- 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.
