  • I think this depends on your tracker. For digitalcore, they expect you to be seeding for X amount of time but after that you’re good. I don’t think ratio is super important for them but it may be others.

    They also have an IRC that increases your freeleech as long as you idle in it. When I started I accidentally did a few Hit-and-runs and my freeleech was low so I just logged in with a client I set up to autostart with my OS, which sorted it quickly enough.

    Once you get a few torrents permanently seeding (even if it’s slow!) you build up enough freeleech to not ever have to worry - it’s self sustaining for me now.

    In terms of pricing, I find Hetzner is best for under 1TB, Backblaze for over 1TB. Both have great documentation for setting up any number of backup methods (SFTP, SSH, Rsync, Rclone, Borg, etc).

    Rsync, Rclone, and Borg are all good options and some may be built into your choice of OS if you use a dedicated NAS system. Choose whatever is easiest for you.

    The backups are gonna be encrypted in transit regardless of method, and Im pretty sure most backup providers encrypt data on their servers so you dont have to manage that I dont think.

    When you commit to backups, IMO you should do them daily - Most backup clients have options for “sync” options which will ignore unchanged files and only upload changes, so a daily backup is not only more up-to-date but also more efficient once the first backup completes.


  • It’s too late for me now coz I didnt do my research and ive already migrated over, but good god ever loving fuck was the AIO container the hardest of all my services to set up.

    Firstly, it throws a fit if you don’t set up the filesystem specifically for php and the postgres db as if it were bare metal. Idk how or why every other container I use can deal with UID 568 but Nextcloud demands www-data and netdata users.

    When that’s done, you realise it won’t run background tasks because it expects cron to be set up. You have to set a cronjob that enters the container to run the cron, all to avoid the “recommended” approach of using a second nextcloud instance just to run background tasks.

    And finally, and maybe this is just a fault of TrueNAS’ setup wizard but, I still had to enter the container shell to set up a bunch of basic settings like phone region. come on.

    Straight up worse than installing it bare metal
