Pretty much everyone uses Let’s Encrypt for their certs. They are free, and often built in to your reverse proxy.
Since you have multiple services, I’ll assume you have a reverse proxy set up. So just google Let’s Encrypt and the name of your reverse proxy and you should find a tutorial.
I’m not sure how using DynDNS impacts on this. If you have your own domain, use Cloudflare Tunnels. You install the software on your server, and it keeps a connection to Cloudflare. No port forwarding, no problems with IP addresses, you can use it behind CGNAT. It also will provide SSL for you for the browser to Cloudflare part, but I highly recommend still setting up Let’s Encrypt for the Cloudflare to Server part.
I don't use DynDNS but I do have two HAProxy servers, one locally and the other on a VPS. The VPS has a cron job that renews the certs every three weeks, and my local server rsyncs them to the right place every so often.
Then, on my pihole I send requests for my services to the local IP but on the same domain. Because the certs are looking at the domain name and not the IP the cert is valid both on my LAN and from the Internet.
David (primary author) seems a great guy and works pretty diligently on this.
It worked well enough as a test instance for me a bit ago. I guess I could stand it up again and see just where it’s at now. Gramps, for me, is still by far the best family tree software assuming you don’t want anything cloud related.
Immich is pretty much a self hosted version of Google Photos. I highly recommend it. It’s under very active development. I’ve been using it for a few months now and it’s been rock solid despite all the dev on it.
An SFTP server in my own experience is not that reliable for spotty cellular network. Probably the best will be using something like this : www.resilio.com/individuals/. I believe with this one if the connection is lost it can recheck for the missing part of the file and restart again.
I'm not entirely sure how it holds up under spotty conditions, but have you looked into something like OwnCloud, which has an Android client that will automatically backup photos and videos from the camera app to the server.
just answering to file transfer problem: i’m using filebrowser.org for my clients to upload images and videos. it doesnt have solutions for choppy internet tho.
for that, i could recommend syncthing.net that synchronizes folder contents, and can resume if there’s network problems. however you’d need to create a process that moves the synchronized files out of the folders once done, to prevent buildup at the client side. i would recommend using a separate share for every reporter…
My go-to backup strategy is USB hard drives. They’re cheap, they’re fast, and nobody’s going to even try to decrypt them. Buy several, put them in a safety deposit box at your bank, rotate them weekly, and nothing short of a nuclear weapon will destroy every copy of your data at the same time.
Hetzner.com Storage Box might be worth looking into. I have no personal experience with it yet but I’m considering it.
5TB is about 13€/month. You get 20 Snapshots for data safety. It supports a lot of protocols like cifs and rclone which makes it possible to mount as a network drive and encrypt remote backups with rclone crypt.
I'm a big fan of Backblaze; $50 per year for unlimited backup for one device, and you can generate your own encryption key so they can't access your data.
I don't think Backblaze's personal unlimited tier is going to easily support op's Synology. I'm sure there's a way to get it to work, but their B2 service integrates with Synology and is the appropriate route to take. Op's looking for redundancy. I wouldn't want to rely on an unsupported work around to guarantee my data when they offer a service that's targeted towards what they want to accomplish.
Backblaze B2 is probably going to be the cheapest and seamless options since they say it integrates with Synology NAS. It's $5/TB/month.
Microsoft Azure Archive storage looks like it might be cheaper per month, but that's just going based on storage costs alone. This guide has a pretty decent explanation of examples of the cost to upload and store it.
Backblaze B2 has the synology integration and op wouldn't have to think about the costs of being able to access or retrieve the data from something like Azure cold or archive storage tiers, since B2 is sold as a hot storage option.
I’ll also vouch for Backblaze’s B2 plan; works well with Synology, and has great reporting options to let you know if you’re approaching your budgeted value, and web-based browsing tools to verify what data they got successfully sent to them.
The backup service is good, inexpensive and easy to set up, so easy to recommend.
I now use their B2 service with duplicati (available as a docker container, but idk how well it works with Synology). It's dirt cheap and equally reliable, but requires more setup by the user, and you must follow good practise and do a test restore of some files to make sure it works.
So it's really a trade-off, depending on what you want to prioritise.
I'm somewhat tempted by B2 but $5/TB/mo feels a bit steep for a NAS.
For me that would be about $100/mo, and for OP that's $25/mo. It would only take a few months before buying a drive for off site cold backup would be more cost effective.
Considering their personal plan is $7/mo for unlimited TBs, it really invites hobbiests to find workarounds after their first TB. Unless I'm missing something.
If you mean by laying it on its side, I did it because the case has punch out side panels. They're both plexi glass too, so I assume it would shatter under the weight of this pc. (~40kg)
Can you post more pics? It's hard to make out the shape of the computer and space available. I'm interested to see how this is the more space efficient way.
EDIT: I've added a link to that page in the part of the insecure "Getting Started" that says "this is insecure don't do it this way". Hopefully that helps people in the right direction a bit more - but I have a long road of more documentation ahead of me.
As always - any and all contributions are welcome :)
