Moving from Contabo to Hetzner www.tiotrom.com/2023/10/moving…

I fucking did it! Fuck you Cuntabo! I got a better server now. I am so happy to finally do this step after months and months of preparations and plans.

Done!

I have been using #contabo for a long time, but lately their service has gone down. I have noticed that in the early hours of #germany the servers are so sluggish that the performance drops by 20 to 30 percent.
Run away from them honestly!

Home self-hosting is a really cool idea. I could do it too but I do not plan to stay in one place for that long. As for your questions: the emails seem to work just fine. You have to make sure that your IP is not blacklisted. YNH will show your that in the Diagnosis. I do not do anything else more than that. Ah, well, try to not host invidious, searx or the like because they ping google and such services too many times and your ip will get blocked.

Security: for us we use 2FA for everything important and SSH keys. For the users is up to them to keep their stuff secure.

Backups: we have a borgbase.com account and setup Borg with YNH to backup there, daily. Very easy to setup via YNH. I make sure to get an email after the backups are done to make sure they work well. For our TROM.tf server it takes around 3-4 hours to backup, every day. The backups are incremental so it only backups up what is not already backed-up. As for Timeshift do sudo apt install timeshift to install then timeshift --help to know how to use it. Is quite easy.

My #ISP does not offer to change r-DNS records


Ah yes that's an issue....

By the "users" you mean the YNH users? We only have a handful and none is admin but me. Our users for our services are not connected to YNH. So not using LDAP.

If they are not connected to #yunohost #ldap then there is no problem.

I've been very happy with Hetzner, I migrated some months ago from Linode
