Okay 2 things.

1. I haven’t heard about any security issues with Rustdesk. Can you link to what you’re referring to?
2. It’s strange to see someone concerned about security recommend RDP for remote access when it’s a terrible idea to expose it to the internet. But maybe you mean to expose a VPN and then connect to RDP via that?

Edit: I see you have some info on the Rustdesk point elsewhere in the thread. I’ll read up on that part so don’t feel like you have to repeat yourself here.

No rustdesk but recommend RDP for remoting?

I’m confused on both recommendations.

What was some of the difficulty you ran into?

I haven’t had to do anything weird but I don’t need anything outside of flatpaks usually.

For most other things a container with more traditional package management works well.

Bazzite worked well for me with dual monitors and a 1060. But I can’t speak for 3 monitors and a 4070.

Yeah that was fun times.

Luckily, thanks to using docker, it was easy enough to “pin” a working version in the compose file while I figured out what just broke.

For everyone’s reference, here’s my fstab to give you an idea of what works with linuxserver.io’s qbittorrent

## Media disks setup for mergerfs and snapraid

I do this with mergerfs.

I then periodically use their prewritten scripts to move things off the cache and to the backing drives.

I should say it’s not really caching but effectively works to take care of this issue. Bonus since all that storage isn’t just used for cache but also long term storage. For me, that’s a better value proposition.

So…… you’ve been……. swayed?

It’s second to none if you have to get things done in a Windows environment, especially if dealing with Active Directory.

But if not, I don’t blame you for not picking it up. Right tool for the job and all that.

I find objects much easier to work with rather than a bunch of string manipulation.

I really appreciate the consistency. People also dog it for being verbose to write but it makes it so much more legible.

Why u gotta hate on PowerShell like that? I like it. 😭

Transfer charges are not restore charges - which are required when bringing files out of glacier.

Something to keep in mind.

My use case is basically the same as yours.

I do restic to Wasabi.

I’ve been on restic for a few years now and have never had an issue. I started out using Google Drive for the backend but that was though my college which went away eventually so I swapped over to Wasabi but I’m considering B2.

It’s actively maintained and encrypted.

There are a handful of backends it supports but can be extended by writing to an rclone backend.

I do the same but I just use a script that runs periodically to update CloudFlare with my current IP with their native API.

Ubuntu Server with docker/docker-compose on top.

So many guides for Ubuntu specifically makes reading up on something a lot easier and it works just fine.

I just reboot. Is that not right?

Just set a rate limit? This could have been a code change and a blog post.

I’m using restic and Wasabi.

I built the server I’m using now over a decade ago, with much worse specs, for way more money.

This will last you a long while depending on your requirements.
