  • Bad experience on selfhosting nextcloud

  • I think you're looking for a calendar on a web page?

    So, probably not what you meant, but Radicale is a really good caldav server I use for our calendars

    It's a server, you need clients (ie phones, etc) to see the calendars, but I found that no-one wanted a web calendar, they just used their phones... so maybe it's an option...?

  • 1st, definitely get backups offsite. Either cloud or drives at someone else's home, but do that.

    When (not if) something breaks you'll need to fix it "now"

    So, if you were intending on hosting a failover system in the cloud with Jellyfin, Adguard, Wireguard, etc. that won't be a simple replica - you'll need to redo your whole networking design.

    IMHO, you're better having physical spare parts / devices at home and focus on that.

    If you're running on an old PC, you'll probably be better getting a newer, more efficient (lower electricity costs) - possibly smaller and quieter - device and moving stuff across... your old PC can then be the backup device.

  • Really good points there.

    After seeing one of my team burnout (and I'm feeling it too), the indicators mentioned are real.

    Treat them well (and pay them, regularly).

  • If the timestamps on the current live cctv image looks completely different, then you're out of luck using it as evidence.

    After all, it's your video evidence, why would you want to fake it if you're trying to prove that someone stole that Amazon parcel off your front door step...

    Thanks for sharing.

  • Slightly off topic and something I read from somewhere else, but make sure whatever you use can write the date & time onto the camera images, otherwise it isn't usable for any police / insurance claims.

    I'd guess all systems do this now, but just wanted it to be on your checklist of features.

    If the camera doesn't do it, then the storage server must.

    (And make sure the clock is sync'd to something 😉)

  • Zoneminder is an option.

    It's been around since before containers were a thing, so fairly stable.

    Not used it myself, but when I get around to needing cameras (I'm in a small house in a low crime area), then thats what I'm planning to use.

    It has (had?) an integration in MythTv too, so I can see who's a the door whilst watching TV at the same time.

  • Sigh, unfortunately not.

    You should see the Linux community asking about which distro to use - now that's where a pinned post is needed...

  • Confession: I don't know what passwords in Linux are for

    Jump

  • Not really sure what you're asking here

    Is Windows + UAC + no password secure?

    No.

    What is Linux protecting us from by using passwords?

    Bad humans & mistakes. But Linux doesn't need passwords.

    Linux & Windows came from a command-line history, so things like UAC are just a GUI version of sudo (and there is (was?) a Linux equivalent if you wanted it)

    So, consider these as options on either OS. If you want it, it's there, if you don't, don't - other options exist depending on your uae case (ie SSH keys, biometrics, etc..)

    To the point; not using a password is a choice on convenience over protection.

  • So.... is it fair to say that it's like Ansible then?

    Ok, Ansible has the config files on a separate control node, but for a multi-device setup, would that be comparable?

  • Backups of Backups

    Jump

  • I see lots of solutions here, but some explanation of the basics are missing for someone starting out... this is not meant to sound preachy...

    RAID is not a backup. It's just better hardware fault tolerance. Delete does the same thing on RAID as it does one 1 drive.

    Everyone syncs / copies / duplicates files somewhere, but you need a way of finding the previous backup in case something was deleted. This can be done with various ways / tech, but the point is - have some history not just 1 copy. Many pointers to 3-2-1 in here, but that also doesn't mean 3 copies of just today's data...

    Backups are nothing without Restores. Test the backups. Various ways, but do it. Often.

    And consider what you're backing up and why.. ie just your data? (Ie photos), or all the config files, databases, operating systems, etc to do a full restore on new metal. If the latter, I recommend keeping your data separate from the OS / config files, etc.

    It doesn't say that they're staying on Win10 either, but they are behind schedule to move on...
