I just started getting into self hosting using docker compose and I wonder about possible backup solutions. I only have to safe my docker config so far, but I want host files as well. What software and hardware are you using for backup?

I’ve been using Borg to back my stuff up. It gets backed up to rsync.net, which has good support for Borg:
https://www.rsync.net/products/borg.html
If you’re good enough at computers, you can even set up a special borg account with them that’s cheaper and has no tech support.
Seconding this. On my unRAID host, I run a docker container called “Vorta” that uses Borg as its backend mechanism to backup to my SynologyNAS over NFS. Then on my Syno, run two backup jobs using HyperBackup, one goes to my cousin’s NAS connected via a Site-to-Site OpenVPN connection on our edge devices (Ubiquity Unifi Security Gateway Pro <-> UDM Pro), the other goes to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage.
OP, let me know if you need any assistance setting something like this up. Gotta share the knowledge over here on Lemmy that we’re still used to searching evil Reddit for.
My brother and I both run an USG. Would love to learn from you how to set up site2site VPN!
Niiiice, quick question, are both of y’all running the latest UniFi Controller version & using the new WebUI view layout?
His gear is v7 (Unifi and also Synology DSM) and I am still on v6 because I didn’t have a good reason to upgrade. If it works, don’t fix it, you know? Feature-wise there the same anyway just different UI. But sure, give me a good reason to upgrade, and I will :)
I’m on the same boat right now, borg and borgbase.
That looks cool, and they’ve got some other nifty looking things like https://www.pikapods.com/. Any idea how stable the company is? I partially like rsync.net because it’s pretty unlikely to just disappear someday.
Love Borg and the associated docker containers and the like. Really is set and forget!
A lot of services have some kind of way to create backup files. I have cronjobs doing that daily then uploading it to some cloud storage with rclone.
I use rsync with an offsite backup.
Backblaze B2. Any software that is S3 compatible can use B2 as the target and it’s reasonably priced for the service. I backup all the PCs and services to a Synology NAS and then backup that to B2 (everything except my Plex media, that would be pricy and it’s easy enough to re-rip from disc if needed).
I host everything on Proxmox VM’s so I just take daily snapshots to my NAS
Duplicati. Works like a charm. Supports practically every backend (S3, backblaze, one drive, Google, storj, sia, even Tahoe!
veeam is pretty simple and powerful, the community version is free if you are only using it for a small environment (CPU cores is what it counts)
I havn’t used it for docker but it says it is supported
I use Veeam to backup shares on my NAS to rotated external drives. I also backup a Linux server.
I’ve gotten decent results from s3cmd sync.
I don’t know if it’s a smart solution but I have a HDD in my server that is used just for backups, each night I have rsync automatically moving stuff from multiple locations that I want to back up onto the drive. After that is done I have Kopia backup to B2, with compression, deduplication and encryption. I use healthchecks.io as well to alert me if any of the steps fails to complete (but none of the steps block each other).
On Proxmox, I use the built-in system + storing it to my Synology NAS (RS1221+). I use Active Backup for business (filesync) to back up the Proxmox config files, and also backup the husband’s PC and my work PC.
For containers (but I use k3s) I use git to store helmfiles and configuration, secrets in ci/cd system.
For the rest - I use autorestic that backups data over ssh and S3.
ZFS send to a pair of mirrored HDDs on the same machine ever hour and a daily restic backup to S3 storage. Every six months I test and verify the cloud backup.
VM instances on the Proxmox VE with native integration with the Proxmox Backup Server (PBS).
For non-VM a little PBS agent.
