Take from this anything of use to you: I syncthing my important Unraid server stuff to a MacBook running Backblaze with a 14TB external drive. DNS is handled by NextDNS in the cloud anyway, so it’s just Immich and other random family oriented services for me. I use Pangolin for exposed services.
You could use syncthing (or Resilio) over a tailscale or headscale network or whateveritispeopleuse to a remote PC.
My Docker compose files and VMs are backed up once a week via plugins on Unraid, which of course get duped via syncthing to the MacBook.
I did try a Hetzner Storage Box for a while to replace Backblaze, but the hassle of having to keep an eye on the syncing was a pain and I fell back in to Backblaze on the MacBook as it’s a set and forget (as long as they don’t change the filetypes ignored…). I may go back to a Storage Box again.
I do also want to look into redundancy with a spare server though so it becomes quicker/easier to get it all up and running in event of failure. This is where selfhosting starts getting serious!
Just chucking this out there to help with the fediverse.
