  • You can do a sanoid sync to another zpool or dataset on the same machine or a remote host, they behave the same. It’s replicating that dataset on the other machine, then sending the snapshots after that point over via zfs send. You can instruct sanoid to prune those snapshots after the send and start new ones for the next send, or just accumulate them so you have points in time to revert to.

    IIRC, you can send a zfs snapshot to a file, but I can’t recall how to do that, so AFAIK, you can’t just send it to a file based service like Onedrive. You can use a service like zfs.rent and send them a harddrive with your base sync on it (encrypt it) and then once they’ve brought it online, you can sync to that. Best to test out your methods with the drive hooked up locally.

    I know it’s anathema to Lemmy, but the best help you’ll get is Claude where you can paste the errors in and have it sort it out for you as you troubleshoot. It’s pretty good at shit like that.



  • I find some of the workflows in it a bit strange, like not having an Add button on the list of host proxies, it’s a separate menu item on the left which weird. And the way you request a SSL cert by hitting OK and then you get a popup asking if you want a cert, and you’d better have already set your options for how you want the cert, but if you create a host without a cert you have to go through all the options again and check them because it doesn’t keep track of your preference.

    IDK, in any case it fixed a bunch of problems I was having with NPM so it has that going for it, which is nice.

    I run on dual Xeon R410s with 128Gb of RAM (2013?). Got them for free, on Kijiji. Runs Proxmox on both and a pile of VMs. Dual GB nics, 6 SAS bays, HBA in IT mode for ZFS. Has iLo for OOB management, or whatever the Dell equivalent is.

    I mean, it’s not fast, but each server has 24 cores and I can chunk PDF files fairly quickly for RAG on 10 cores and have plenty for mail server, Nextcloud, K8S running some side hustle apps, etc, etc. Kind of a noisy prick when it winds up though.
