Scope

It will store huge backups (i.e. media), smaller (i.e. system) backups will still be stored in wasabi.

Todo

  • Buy SD card („SanDisk High Endurance 64GB“ from AliExpress)
  • Build u-boot (see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/101454; has checksum mismatch)
  • Build image (only basic configuration (hardware-configuration, ssh-keys)
    • Cross compile or native?
      • Cross, since sd card performance is abysmal
      • For deployment, build on deploying machine (blocked by #34)
    • Does it resize automatically? No
    • How to do LUKS?
      • do I want it? sd card, data drives, both, nothing?
  • Determine power usage
    • Idle
    • CPU load
    • Disk load
    • Network load (unlikely, but why not)
    • Combined load (senc/receive on-thy-fly compressed disk image)
  • Determine temperature and fan noise (fan makes ugly noises due to literally using pwm to drive the fan)
  • Make drives spin down on inactivity
  • Set up restic-server
    • systemd timer for prune
      • if no LUKS on system partition: figure out how to get repository password temporarily onto system (option: some mechanism comparable to NixOps: copy to /var/run after reboot?)
  • Use hard drives from legacy server (4 TB WD Red/Seagate IronWolf, still have warranty until early 2022)
  • Figure out best location for it (bbn?)
  • Set up dynamic dns
