  • Sometimes (not in this instance) the error message is completely worthless. I remember one time trying to configure automatic backups in Cloud Native Postgres and it just wasn’t working, the errors were opaque. So I asked on the project’s github what the problem was and the devs were quite unhelpful. Some random user came along and said “Oh you need to set the S3 region like this…” and backups started working.








  • I made my own solution since I wasn’t impressed by projects I had found. There’s two parts, the backup image and the restore image.

    I use it like so:

    services:
      restore_sabnzbd:
        image: untouchedwagons/simple-restore:1.0.5
        container_name: restore_sabnzbd
        restart: no
        environment:
          - BACKUP_APPEND_DIRECTORY=/docker/production/sabnzbd
          - BACKUP_BASE_NAME=sabnzbd
          - FORCE_OWNERSHIP=1000:1000
        volumes:
          - sabnzbd:/data
          - /mnt/tank/Media/Backups:/backups
    
      sabnzbd:
        image: ghcr.io/onedr0p/sabnzbd:4
        container_name: sabnzbd
        restart: unless-stopped
        user: 1000:1000
        volumes:
          - sabnzbd:/config
          - /mnt/tank/Media/Usenet:/mnt/data/Usenet
        depends_on:
          restore_sabnzbd:
            condition: service_completed_successfully
        networks:
          - traefik_default
    
      backup_sabnzbd:
        image: untouchedwagons/simple-backup:1.1.0
        container_name: backup_sabnzbd
        restart: unless-stopped
        environment:
          TZ: "America/Toronto"
          BACKUP_APPEND_DIRECTORY: "/docker/production/sabnzbd"
          BACKUP_BASE_NAME: "sabnzbd"
          BACKUP_RETENTION: "24"
          BACKUP_FREQUENCY: "0 0 * * *"
        volumes:
          - sabnzbd:/data:ro
          - /mnt/tank/Media/Backups:/backups
          
    networks:
      traefik_default:
        external: true
    
    volumes:
      sabnzbd:
    

    The restore container looks for a file called RESTORED in /data and if one isn’t found it’ll try to restore the latest backup (if available) and then create a RESTORED file. The backup container ignores this file during backup.




  • I have a folder called “Let’s Plays” with sub-folders like so:

    • Among Us with Jeremy Dooley
    • Factorio with Zisteau - Space Exploration
    • Minecraft with GoodTimesWithScar - HermitCraft
    • Rimworld with Mr Samuel Streamer - Mushroom Madness

    In each of those folders I have folders for each “season” (for long-going series the seasons are by year (Season 2024) but are otherwise “season 1”)

    Then the videos/thumbnails themselves are like this:

    untouchedwagons@storage:/mnt/tank/Media/Videos/Let's Plays/R/Rimworld with Mr Samuel Streamer - Mushroom Madness$ ls *
    'Season 1':
    'Rimworld with Mr Samuel Streamer - Mushroom Madness - S01E01 - The Mushroom Apocalypse.jpg'
    'Rimworld with Mr Samuel Streamer - Mushroom Madness - S01E01 - The Mushroom Apocalypse.mp4'
    'Rimworld with Mr Samuel Streamer - Mushroom Madness - S01E02 - Taking Back the City.jpg'
    'Rimworld with Mr Samuel Streamer - Mushroom Madness - S01E02 - Taking Back the City.mp4'
    'Rimworld with Mr Samuel Streamer - Mushroom Madness - S01E03 - How Far Would You Go_.jpg'
    'Rimworld with Mr Samuel Streamer - Mushroom Madness - S01E03 - How Far Would You Go_.mp4'
    'Rimworld with Mr Samuel Streamer - Mushroom Madness - S01E04 - Scientific Breakthrough.jpg'
    'Rimworld with Mr Samuel Streamer - Mushroom Madness - S01E04 - Scientific Breakthrough.mp4'
    

    In Jellyfin I have a library for these Let’s Plays that are separate from my regular TV Shows.

    I use JDownloader 2 to download youtube videos. I normally only download two to three videos a day so doing it all manually isn’t that big of an ask, though editing metadata on mkv’s is a bit of a pain.
