  • That might be the ticket. I might just try to expose the ui off the box itself and configure a systemd unit or something to run it on boot.

    Will probably set up a throwaway VM tomorrow to test it out. Thank you.

    Edit: So I didn’t quite understand the entire process (and to some degree with the ACL, still don’t yet) but this is what I know now.

    The two binaries are kopia and kopia-ui. The latter is to be used on a desktop (or something with a window manager) for easy config of the snapshots, etc. The normal kopia binary is CLI only and suitable for servers.

    But with the kopia binary (and the ui one presumably) you can start a server with it and then access that from any machine, firewalling dependent of course.

    I started that with kopia server start --address 0.0.0.0:51515 --server-username= --server-password= --tls-cert-file /root/my.cert --tls-key-file /root/my.key after having generated a cert and key. You can also just pass --insecure if you don’t care about https (ie. testing.)

    From there it lists the configured snapshots, etc. This might be exactly what I need and a systemd unit file would be easy enough to create to have this started on boot.















  • I went with dokuwiki forever ago. Super stupid simple single container to run (no DB) and writes down to plain text files. I sync it with git every now and then.

    My only gripe about it is the dokuwiki syntax and not using normal markdown. I do now have a plugin for that but it’s still just ok. But at this point I might be too engrossed in it to ever really switch. But other than that it works well, is lightweight, has other plugins (email, mermaid flow charts, etc. etc.) and really is pretty maintenance-free.

    If there is some better one that is accessible via a browser and doesn’t require a DB then I’d be interested.





  • In the US I highly doubt any of that would be illegal save in maybe California. But if I for instance had my email associated with my fediverse account and my friend had my contact name plus my email then meta could ostensibly build a profile out on me without my knowledge or consent. That would only be limited by my friend who might have way, way more interaction with me on the rest of the phone (sms, etc etc) to build an even fuller profile. That’s basically what I’m suggesting. My fediverse account might not say much about me by itself but by linking that and other data courtesy of my friend, I’m now a decently built profile to meta.
