To ensure low upload latency, it monitors Frigate’s recordings directory for changes and invokes rclone immediately when a new file has been created.

This article explains how to set up restic (with the resticprofile wrapper) for automated scheduled backups of your (dockerized) WordPress server. The backups are protected from ransomware through temporary immutability, which makes it much harder for attackers to delete your data.

This article explains how to set up restic (with the resticprofile wrapper) for automated scheduled backups of your home server. The backups are protected from ransonmware through temporary immutability, which makes it much harder for attackers to delete your data. This post is part of my series on home automation, networking & self-hosting that shows how to install, configure, and run a home server with (dockerized or virtualized) services such as Home Assistant and ownCloud.
