Not exactly self hosting but maintaining/backing it up is hard for me. So many “what if”s are coming to my mind. Like what if DB gets corrupted? What if the device breaks? If on cloud provider, what if they decide to remove the server?
I need a local server and a remote one that are synced to confidentially self-host things and setting this up is a hassle I don’t want to take.
So my question is how safe is your setup? Are you still enthusiastic with it?
For me these two things are exclusive of each other. I had nothing but trouble with Ceph.
Ceph has been FANTASTIC for me. I’ve done the dumbest shit to try and break it and have had great success recovering every time.
The key in my experience is OODLES of bandwidth. It LOVES fat pipes. In my case 2x 40Gbps link on all 5 servers.
It depends on how you set it up. Most people do it wrong.
