Not exactly self hosting but maintaining/backing it up is hard for me. So many “what if”s are coming to my mind. Like what if DB gets corrupted? What if the device breaks? If on cloud provider, what if they decide to remove the server?

I need a local server and a remote one that are synced to confidentially self-host things and setting this up is a hassle I don’t want to take.

So my question is how safe is your setup? Are you still enthusiastic with it?

    Don’t over think it, start small, a home server. Then add stuff, you will see that it’s not that crazy.

    I personally have just one home server that locally creates encrypted backups and uploads them to backblaze.

    This gives me the privacy I need as everything is on my server that I own while also having the backups on a big reliable company.

    It’s not perfect but it fits my threat model
