Restore ONLY the files from a fsarchiver archive made with savefs - usually you would need an empty partition and it would be a destructive operation.

Supremely clever solution - creates an empty image file, connects it to a loopback device to which fsarchiver writes as if it's a partition. Then you can simply mount the resulting file and tada - your files are back.

Complete guide to using the 'omv-backup' plugin (in plugin-extras nowadays) with the fsarchiver option. Made for bare-metal to bare-metal but can presumably be adapted for other usecases.

I like Docker, but I don’t like how it interferes with firewall rules. Moreover, I like to keep the base OS of every server as basic and clean as possible and use unprivileged Incus / LXD containers to run services.

Changes the systemd acpi event from 'HandleLidSwitch = suspend' to in etc/systemd/logind.conf ignore and that's it.

Amazing debian guide for setting up all the btrfs niceties that we take for granted - snapshots, rollbacks, automatic grub entries.

Also shows which directories to exclude and what debian does differently.

"Incus containers and Incus Virtual Machines store their data in the default storage pool that is created when you installed Incus. You can use storage pools in other ways and even create supplemental storage pools. In December of 2023, I presented a video tutorial entitled LXD Storage Pools & Volumes. This tutorial is a follow-on to that one, however this time we focus on Storage Pools in Incus."

An in-depth tutorial from the basics of container storage management in incus to passthrough of usb devices like harddrives and so on.
