Unraid 321 Backups With Duplicati
Unraid provides an accessible platform for network-accessible storage for an affordable price point due to its ability to easily use second-hand consumer hardware for a new purpose. However, you may be led into a false sense of security with your data being protected by the Unraid array and its parity process. It will be essential to be cautious with this setup and to ensure the recommended backup processes fully protect your data.
This article will discuss recommendations for Unraid backups and how you can achieve this through a 3–2–1 backup strategy implemented with a single container called Duplicati. This container provides a highly polished feature set for an open-source product. The post assumes that you already have Unraid set up and are comfortable using Docker, the Unraid UI, and the Docker CLI tool.
Docker System Maintenance Guide
Like any sound long-running system, such as a generator or your long-running containers, there's always some maintenance that you should consider (and should be scheduled, too!). Without this maintenance, you might find the performance degrades over time or experience outright failures. In this post, we will explore some of these maintenance tasks you should consider to get a better handle on the docker engine you are running and ensure you're getting the most out of it.
7 Fun Linux Fact
Linux is a free and open-source, Unix-like operating system that was first created by Linus Torvalds in 1991. As an OS, Linux provides the software platform upon which other software applications can run. Unlike systems like Windows or MacOS, which are proprietary. Linux is developed and distributed publicly through the GNU General Public License. This means anyone can modify and distribute it. Linux has been praised for its stability and security, and it's used on servers, embedded systems, and more. It's the OS of choice for many developers and system administrators.
Installing Slackware packages on Unraid
Unraid is a handy software if you need a NAS or a simple computing server for containers and VMs. But unlike other Linux operating systems, it does not come with a package manager that allows you to install any packages you need due to the in-memory nature of the Unraid operating system. This article will cover how to install packages on your Unraid server using Slackware packages to install them on your machine for one-time or permanent use, depending on your needs.

Running Your Own Docker Container Registry Made Easy
I have recently gone from running the most minimal HTTP version of the registry on my machine to support my local docker image development workflows to running my own private docker registry available to private and public hosts with access control. I’ll run you through all the steps and gotchas so you can set up whatever kind of registry you need as it’s become a key part of my Dev Ops infrastructure and probably will be for you as well when you see how easy it is.
