Shame that it seems to be getting phased out for cloud backup solutions. Makes sense that google would want to control more of your data and make you pay for it.
As installing a custom ROM typically involves using ADB anyways, I would suggest that you back up your device normally (copy files over to a folder on your computer), and then use the built-in backup function in ADB to make a secondary complete backup.
Also, depending on your threat model, you might not want to move any files from your old installation to your new one. Its possible that the old files, applications, and linked accounts could compromise your new installation privacy / security. I also generally enjoy starting with a clean slate after a new OS install.
@tymon is the audio supposed to be mixed in Stereo or Mono? I see that there is a Stereo track but both tracks are identical (no Stereo separation). Thanks for making this! This fixes the one main complaint that I had with the series!
CGNAT = Carrier Grade Network Address Translation. It makes it practically impossible to open ports to the public internet and in some extreme instances make zerotier very unstable. Typically you only have CGNAT if your internet connection is 4G or fixed wireless.
OpenVPN is just a VPN protocol. Roughly comparable to wireguard. It has been the gold standard for VPN technology for the past decade or so. Wireguard by comparison is much newer, and lighter to run. This typically results in faster throughput from a computational standpoint and devices where power is limited (cell phones), uses much less power by leveraging modern CPU encryption methods.
If you have the option to port forward on your home internet connection, its possible to setup a VPN connecting in a straight shot from your home to your roaming device. If you can’t port forward, you will need a main in the middle (the VPS) to establish and route the connections through.
Zerotier works off of a PTP style network and the free plan allows up to 50 devices when last I checked. I’m not sure on the availability of zerotier or wireguard on truenas as the last time I used TrueNAS was Scale 22.
If my understanding of how “force SSL” works for most proxies, it just simply issues a HTTP 300 redirect message for all http traffic coming in on port 80. It then sends everything to port 443 https.
Do you get a 502 when you try to connect with the force SSL turned off? It might me less of an issue with SSL and more that your proxy is not pointing to the right host / port of your nextcloud server.
Very interesting idea for a self hosted service! I will definitely take a stab at hosting it! I have a decent collection of DRM-free games from humblebundle and GOG that I always wanted in one place. Question, I know you dont currently have a native linux client. That being said, do you have a native linux client on the roadmap?
I second restic. Have been using it for a year now and have been generally very happy. Actually had to use it in a couple occasions to restore directory content and even recover a complete workstation drive. I have had relatively easy success in both scenarios.
