One note,

I used a raid with WD 8 TB drives, and when a drive failed we bought a Seagate Ironwolf Pro 8 TB to replace it.

The NAS wouldn’t accept it into the raid, because it had fewer bytes!

We found a workaround by tweaking partition sizes for that particular raid, but it caught me by surprise.

this was mdadm, not sure if zfs has some awareness to slightly differences in sizes between hdd models

I just checked my immich lxc, ram usage fluctuate with plateaus of about 1 GiB, and some spikes up to 1.5 GiB.

Two users, 100+ GiB of images and videos

How do you guys test your backups?

I have restored my proxmox setup from backup and it worked, but that is not something I do on regular basis.

I have from time to time done spot checks that certain files are working.

Most of the time I rely on the verification done by proxmox backup server…

I do it manually. update the container version and docker pull and run

I have reduced the number of containers to ones i actually use, so it is manageable.

i use v2 instead of v2.1.0 docker container tags if the provider don’t make too many bleeding edge changes between updates

Nice to see CalDAV is on the roadmap. I will wait for that before trying it out, as it is the cornerstone for my system today (radicale and tasks.org)
