It says right above that box that it requires the WHOOGLE_CONFIG_PREFERENCES_KEY or that option will be ignored. My guess is that you have to manually edit some config file to turn that key on, or generate an encryption key yourself that you provide through editing a config and adding it to that line.

Edit: you probably need to add your own domain or IP as the root URL too.

Y NOT NANO THO? /s

Then sell me a 1TB plan—don’t call it unlimited.

I’m not screwing anybody over. I am using an available plan from a large company, and they have not had any issue with my usage that they have deemed necessary to bring to my attention. I cover multiple machines with their service, and my other machines have far less data on them—likely below their average. I am using it as a personal backup, as intended. Even if I trend above their average, they had to expect that some users would fall into that category if the option was available.

You are the only party that seems to have a major issue with how I’m using the service. I don’t understand why you seem to have such a strong opinion on this.

If a business doesn’t want a plan to be used as unlimited storage, then they should simply set a limit in the terms.

You are massively oversimplifying the situation. They are discriminating against which operating system I use, and not addressing that data is data. If I ran a windows VM on the same machine and put my data in there, it would be exactly the same as running the Backblaze container.

And it isn’t a $20 per year difference—if I backed up the same amount of data on the B2 plan, it would be around $3000 per year. Seems like a pretty steep increase to back up the same amount of data through Debian as opposed to Windows. They’ve never complained, never even tried to sell me the B2 plan, and I haven’t even seen anything telling me I’m storing an overly large amount of data for my plan.

Lastly, I read their TOS, and I don’t consider myself to be breaking them. I’m only backing up personal files at home and the program is technically running through a windows environment. That is what their unlimited plan was designed for. If they wanted it to be different, they could call it a 10TB plan.

I’m sure some will disagree with me. To each their own.

There definitely isn’t a docker container that will let you run Backblaze in WINE so that you can get the cheap unlimited plan working on Linux. You shouldn’t go looking for such a thing to save money. /s

Got a kink to the dockerhub?

I confess! Docker is my kink! /s

Not when used with Tailscale. You can put Tailscale on the VPS and on your home server, put Nginx on the VPS and point it to the Tailscale address for the desired service with your desired subdomain.

Voila, Nginx is serving your content through the Tailscale tunnel without edits to your home network. If Tailscale works, then this will work.

Storage size, privacy, security, operating cost…I can think of several reasons. I use a cheap vps to help me route traffic to my ebook server, and I don’t have to pay for extra storage on the vps to hold all my comic books, which can be quite large when scanned in HD.

Using ProxMox has been extremely useful for me. It has allowed me to experiment with a lot more things than I ever did before—it is very easy to spin up a new VM to test things out.

I would recommend it to anyone running a home server.

Watchtower may be what you’re looking for.

I was the original appreciator! Gluetun is life! Gluetun is truth! Gluetun is the way!

I’m so glad this post helped somebody!

Indeed! There are many simple and quality ways to set it up, and users can pick anything they prefer. FOSS is dope like that.

I think the questions are more prominent because a wider audience of people are becoming more privacy conscious.

In my case, I haven’t had the advantage of going to school for any of this, so I have to pick up knowledge where I can. If there is a reliable tool available to accomplish my task, I’m more likely to use it than to pursue a more manual solution because even simple computing questions can be rabbit holes that result in hours of reading and learning.

The reason that I made this post is because your options are always limited by your awareness of available solutions, and I presumed there might be someone else out there who has struggled getting a VPN reliably bound to a service.

That’s only a brief list too. We probably don’t know the full extent of his crimes, and more keeps getting revealed. 10 minutes of googling the news about him is going to blow your mind.

He systematically used the power and influence of the presidency to project falsehoods, encourage division and violence, and potentially feed classified information illegally to foreign governments for his own personal gain.

He is currently on trial for bribing people to stay silent about his affairs during the 2016 election. He was previously found to have illegally taken classified documents back to his home in Florida and kept them after he was president, potentially to sell information. His son in law was given a career in the White House with no prior experience, and there is a huge paper trail to suggest that he got paid 2 billion by foreign governments for representing their interests during that time.

He’s like a corruption buffet, and he has openly stated he will retaliate against everyone he considers an enemy if he wins again.

I was a team lead. Painstakingly created documentation for everything.

New boss in town. Says destroy it all and stop making more.

Stopped being team lead. That shit was demoralizing. Years of work down the drain for no reason.

People who enforce cultures of tribal knowledge are either idiotic or covering for their own incompetence.

They’ve gone up a little, but they’re starting at $11 per year.

Are you using Nginx to make your app available on the web? If you are on a home internet connection, how confident are you that your ISP has given you a static IP?

Running Nginx and Tailscale to route traffic through a VPS with a static IP has been way more reliable for me than any attempt at static IP hosting from a home connection in the past. At $5-$15 per year, a VPS is cheaper than the hassle of troubleshooting with an ISP at home.

Maybe I’m just dense, but how is that done? I don’t see anything in tautulli settings, and I don’t see any plugin scripts for it.
