  • I don't know about him, but I really don't want to be screwing around replacing my openers

  • That would be neat, but I really doubt it will ever happen

    What don't you like about ratgdo? It seems pretty good on paper, I've not yet got one in my hands. Hopefully soon

  • What I can't figure out now is if I want to replace OpenGarage when my Ratgdo arrives. It has a lot more features, but do I care now I have OpenGarage setup? Unsure

  • Oh jeeeeez! That's what I get for copying and pasting a million times

    EDIT: FIXED!

  • Not really, I just update containers via Portainer and update the OS with a bash script. Once every few weeks I just roll through them all, only takes 30 mins at most

  • So powering on and powering off will eventually be handled by a Powershell script I use to kick of the backups (More than just Borg goes into my offsite/offline backups) and the reason it gets powered off is that the external drive I connect to my desktop computer gets shared out, and sometimes Windows mixes the drive letters up, or the Share permissions get out of whack. I find that if the VM is on when its screwed up, Debian really doesn't like the mount and ends up causing some weird issues. So if I just leave it off until I have my ducks in a row with the backup drive, it all works perfectly. I guess there is also no point it in sitting there powered on 24/7, when I only do the backups monthly too

    As for why its a dedicated VM, a few years ago I noticed I was constantly moving backup software, trying other solutions etc, which just doesn't work. If you change backup software every 6 months, you don't really have any real long term backups. So I decided Borg and the VM its installed on needs to stay very stable, so I settled on just throwing it in own VM. This way I never need to move it, migrate it, etc. Its always just there and it works

  • Interesting, I'll admit its been a little while since I went in there. My main concern was the ability to upload files. Text I don't care about too much, but when random people start uploading files, thats a problem

  • Zero problems, often times stuff in the house is actually hotter than stuff in the garage funnily enough, even in summer

  • Yes, I have a 27kw Natural Gas standby generator with an ATS. It takes 10 seconds from power failure, to it switching to generator power. So, the UPS just bridges that gap

    In the extremely unlikely even the natural gas goes out, I have a 7.2kw Tri-fuel portable generator (Gasoline, NG and Propane) and I keep around 80 gallons of gasoline on hand, and I have an inlet and interlock on the main breaker, so I can switch to that if needed

  • I have Bitwarden set to give my wife access if she requests it and I don't respond in X days

    Things generally "just work" so she would have access to everything, and she can figure out what she wants to do. All the passwords are there and all of the configs are fairly easy for stuff she cares about anyway

  • Honestly, I'm not 100% sure. I don't have a way to monitor just the stuff in the rack as the UPS also powers a lot of other stuff in the house. Either way, I've worked to make everything fairly low power, or at least as low power as feasible. The things that use the most power is the disks

    I can tell you its less than 800w though, as that's the lowest the UPS goes at night. But that also does include both me and my wifes desktops which stay on 24/7, and an Apple TV, and standby power for all devices etc
