Proxmox Backup

At this time proxmox backup only backs up VM and Containers - ths guide covers that.

What i didn't realize is the backup job is still defined on the cluster and PBS provides a new storage type that dedupes and managed all the vzdump files created - which is cool.

I decided to run proxmox backup on my Synology NAS where it has more reliable connection to the NAS (i.e. via memory) for doing deduple, garbage collection, prune, verification etc. However the steps here generally remain true.

Once again i used one of Derek Seaman's Awesome Blogs for the basis of this - but with my own tweaks (like using SMB instead of CIFS. As of 9/21 my tweaks are signifcnant, in the original blog it is missing steps to enable encoding acceleration in CTs and VMs.

Raspberry Pi on Internet via reverse SSH tunnel

HackerNews discussed this with many alternative solutions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24893615

I already have my own domain name: mydomain.com. I wanted to be able to run some webapps on my Raspberry Pi 4B running perpetually at home in headless mode (just needs 5W power and wireless internet). I wanted to be able to access these apps from public Internet. Dynamic DNS wasn't an option because my ISP blocks all incoming traffic. ngrok would work but the free plan is too restrictive.

I bought a cheap 2GB RAM, 20GB disk VM + a 25GB volume on Hetzner for about 4 EUR/month. Hetzner gave me a static IP for it. I haven't purchased a floating IP yet.
