wrong community?

lost lemming?

i successfully switched an arch install from ext4 to btrfs.

in my case, i had 2 ssd, so i moved from one to the other, but it should work if you use one of the rsync backups.

what i did was:

• boot from a live usb arch
• create a btrfs partition on the new drive with all the subvolumes you need
• mount the btrfs partition and all the subvolumes
• rsync my system from the old drive to the new mount (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/migrate_installation_to_new_hardware#File_copying)
• than continue to follow the arch wiki guide, fstab will be wrong, the bootloader needs to be reinstalled. while you are chrooted into it, you will need to reinstall linux to rebuild initramfs.

i’m not good with names.

my server’s name is… server

Security

All the services available from internet, just goes through traefik to terminate https, I rely on the build in authentication of each service. To add another layer of security, I have fail2ban active on all those services.

I have a public IP, and I have open on my router ports 80, 443, a random port for ssh and vpn.

docker compose files

All the docker compose files + how I configured everything is available at: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/my-server

Bonus:

Since I like the ability of btrfs to do snapshots, I created all important docker volumes as btrfs subvolumes. Then I created a backup script that literally sends the subvolume (encrypted) to an external cloud. This does not allow incremental backups and most likely is not the best backup solution… but it works… the repo is: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/btrfs2cloud-backup

I welcome any advice / criticism!
