Rsync
These are my rsync notes. I also used to use rsnapshot, however I was unhappy with the performance of this application and moved to restic. The original rsnapshot notes have been rolled up and moved to the bottom of this page.

Back-up Server Old Setup
This has been more difficult than I would have thought. I have used rsnapshot the past couple of years (2020-21), but have never really been happy with it for many reasons. The main reason is that it has never worked well, the rsync is reasonably fast, but the rsnapshot takes far too long. Other problems include; difficulties in set-up, and concerns will reliability. Recently I noticed that Debian no longer …text/html2025-05-20T04:48:08+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)VNC Server

NUT (Network UPS Tools) Setup
I purchased my current main UPS the Powershield Commander RT PSCRT1100 / Voltronic Power Otima II 1.1K in 2014 and setup NUT about this time, including early conversion to systemd scripts. I notice the Techno Tim Network UPS Tools (NUT) Ultimate Guide late 2022 has a perhaps more modern take on this.text/html2025-02-08T09:11:05+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)KVM Setup

I original setup my main server and virual machines all with Ubuntu. However I have started using Debian and find it leaner than Ubuntu. I am slowly moving my various servers and virtual machines to Debian.

BASH Customisation
The standard BASH colour configuration uses a blue colour for listing directories (ls) which is difficult to read on a black background. While this is the “standard colour”, due to the impracticality I have decided to change it.text/html2025-01-05T06:27:27+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)NFS

NFS
There are a lot of resources online for NFS (Network File System). Nevertheless I decided to place my notes here to help me with my configuration, as there are a number of nuances that such notes will potentially assist with in the future. Sadly a number of resources I use seem out of date, not updated and/or possible subject to disappearance.text/html2022-09-05T07:00:54+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)samba

I have not look at samba much since I first attempted to set up my home sever circa 2011 on Fedora before I moved to Ubuntu.

Most server have more than one network connection although one is technically enough. Routers by definition need to have a minimum of at least 2 network connections.
It would seem that Debian Linux supports multiple methods to define network connections:text/html2025-04-06T07:41:58+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Manjaro Setup Notes

Manjaro Setup Notes
I tried Manjaro circa 2019 for a couple of years as my main Linux Desktop. I had no major problems with it. An occasional minor problem this nVidia graphic card and some minor issues with updates. Having used Debian / Ubuntu the past 10 years on servers I decided to switch to Debian testing desk top with XFCE. Debian testing basically give a similar level of latest updates as Manjaro/Arch.
