  • Authy is great, but I really wanna selfhost 2FA, as I did personally ran into issue back in 2019 or 2020 where Microsoft Authenticator suddenly lost 2FA cloud sync backup so I had to send my Legal ID proof for multiple accounts for them to disable 2FA, while I still didn’t recover my old Instagram account as face verification kept on failing and Meta’s human support is nonexistent, and this happened for multiple users on Microsoft Authenticator and was showered with negative reviews on play store back then. Since then I dont trust Cloud Sync for any thing, so I did use Aegis and did auto backups and sync on that,but currently I’m looking for something simple for my parents which can Autosync without them worrying about restoring backups, where they can just login and use. Details mentioned here : https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/1142860



  • Yes actually I’m personally using Aegis rn, but I’m okay with backing up and having backup sync elsewhere, and then do the restore if I switch or something.

    But I’m actually looking for Selfhosted solution for my sibling and parents as they are not that tech savvy, so it would be headache for them to think about backup, sync and restore. they need something which is a simple login and go solution like Vaultwarden (bitwarden) with Automatic server sync, where they can enter a link or use app to access it.










  • This reminds me of my posts on reddit 3 months prior, it all started with Noob here🤣, so even I am a noob. Or you can say you are on Lemmy and not reddit, so I wont call you or myself a noob anymore, as noobs are still on reddit😉.But we all learn bits with time. I read those posts too, but gave it a shot anyway and its been 4 months of using Duplicati, still running without any issues.

    I do randomly test it as well, but copy/pasting my stuff and then deleting it from original location, and use Duplicati to restore and works well everytime. I did those tests every 7days for 1st month, but after that it has been 3 months where I do similar tests randomly either 20 days or monthly. And still doing good.

    Key part to remember while Duplicati is Versioning, I keep atleast 5 versions of backup (daily backups), and the things I backup are mainly Photos or password manager data. So even if I get a corrupted back up and even lose my system. I’ll still have the 4 other backups which ain’t very old, as its daily backups with 5 versions so, 1 backup per day for last 5 days. So 90% chances are I won’t lose the data, but in case even if I do it would negligible.








  • Is you like to run Multiple OS/VMs on single machine, then Proxmox is your goto, hands down.

    CasaOs is more for people like me, who runs a single OS baremetal and like to have multiple docker instances on that same OS. Basically you need a baremetal Debain or supported Linux OS on which you install CasaOS.

    CasaOs is more like portainer on steroids, as it offers you Appstore like interface to get one click Docker container installation. But also offers you control (for more advanced users) where if you like you can manager containers and can have terminal/ssh access along with option to change default volume maps set by CasaOS.

    One such similar thing to CasaOS is UmbrelOS, please do avoid that, as it only offers one click installations of docker containers with default volume maps (with no way for you to change it) And it lacks all the advanced features to manage containers like in CasaOS. Atleast CasaOs keeps those options hidden away, so once you become a little advanced you can access it.
