That entirely depends on the specific models and use case.

Backups of the LXC container has been enough, but I’m thinking about doing a secondary backup of the DB itself.

Everything runs in the same container.

I have restored the container many times. Also, every time there’s an update, I backup the container first and then I can restore it if something breaks.

I have 2 local backups and then 3 remotely at Hetzner.

Host PieFed instead.

With that said, I host Lemmy.wtf, which is a rather small instance.

Proxmox > LXC > Docker.

The container has 6 vcores and 6GB RAM.

Backups are handled by Proxmox.

Do you mean a 64GB SSD or did you really have to upgrade to 64GB RAM to run your Lemmy instance?

Start with experimenting on your own computer. You can install Docker and setup Lemmy fx. Any reason you can’t keep your computer running?

There’s also IONOS with their £1 and £2 server: https://www.ionos.co.uk/servers/vps

Now the spambots are also using AI 😫

I’m hosting several things, including Lemmy and PeerTube. I haven’t really been aware of any scrapers, but do you know of any software that can help block it?

Like what and what have you tried to block it?

This is a cool tool. Thanks for sharing. Don’t worry about the downvotes. The Fediverse has a few anti-AI zealots who love to brigade.

Canonical made Snap, so would be weird if they didn’t ship with it in Ubuntu.

Digital sovereignty.

Like most “tech” journalists 😬

Don’t update anything without a way to restore.

Get a power station with built-in UPS. I use an ALLPOWERS.

You can cross post it?

I just can’t get over the name change from Revolt to Stoat, but at least a stoat is cute AF.
