This looks dope! Thanks for sharing.

Edit: I’ve used it and it is freaking good. Really good. Awesome work OP. I’ve tried to find a place to throw a few bucks your way but couldn’t, is there somewhere we can do that?

You can configure it to run as often as you want (well, I’m not sure about cloudflare, but with other services you can, like DuckDNS)

I also love when I buy something off of Etsy believe it to be hand made, and it ends up being a dropshipped piece of garbage.

How the fuck does that business model work? 10TB is cheaper than Backblaze B2 in 20 months.

That’s an incredibly good point. Bad actors are the worst. Some ideas:

• Maybe you’d need to contribute your storage capacity +10% (or more), to account for your and other’s downtime during disasters.
• A time limit after disasters would be necessary. It’s difficult to think of a proper time limit though, as even a month might not be enough time if your entire house burns down.
• Maybe a payment system could be set up to where, if your server doesn’t ping for a week, your credit card is automatically charged (after pinging you with many emails). Sure, that’d suck, but it’d be better than loosing your data, and cheaper overall than paying for cloud backups. I’m not sure where that money would go. Maybe distributed to those who didn’t experience a disaster, or maybe to the software project, though that would mean people are profiting from a disaster. Maybe it could go to a charity of your choice or something.

Definitely a difficult problem to solve. I’m sure people smarter than me have ideas beyond mine.

That NAS software company Linus (of Linus Tech Tips) funded has a feature for this planned I think.

An open-source standalone implementation would be dope as hell. Sure, it’d mean you’d need to double your NAS capacity (as you’d have to provide enough storage as you use), but that’s way easier than building a second NAS and storing/maintaining it somewhere else or constantly paying for and managing a cloud backup.

Yeah, people have done workarounds and stuff to get their entire NAS backed up but those seemed sketchy and bad when I looked into it.

Host both. Keep plex up for your gma, Jellyfin for everyone else. Tbh Jellyfin is also pretty intuitive. Currently I’m hosting both, but my gma doesn’t use it, so I’ll probably move completely to Jellyfin.
