You could also just grab a wire guard configuration and use it too. They provide them along side the openvpn configs

To be honest, there’s a few good comments linking to scripts and methods here to batch convert them on a windows pc/vm. That’s the best way to go.
To add on to their comments. If you’re just interested in preserving them then maybe printing them to pdf, specifically pdf/a, would be my approach once you got them opened.
I’ll leave this one here for someone:
You can tunnel L2 over OpenVPN. Just bridge your interfaces in both sides and it works.
That way if you need to provision a VOIP phone or just have something NetBoot remotely. Not that I recommend doing that…
Hey now! We got to know why god needs a starship! 😂
Like Star Trek movies 😂
TBH have you tried just basic git? There’s a web interface built into git itself and you can use ssh for your repositories. It’s simple and just works. If you need a faster web interface there’s also cgit. There’s no bells and whistles either. Just configure ssh, drop your repos in /srv and get to work.
If you need more that just standard basic git the. The other suggestions here are great especially forgjo!
Once I figured out how to netboot the os into memory that’s how I run all my nodes :)
This is why every JR Engineer I’ve mentored is handed a copy of Sysadmin Code Ethics day one along with a copy of Practice of System and Network Administration.
We really need a more formal process for having the title of engineer and we really need a guild. LOPSA/USENIX and CWA are from what I can tell the closest to having anything. Because eventually some congress person is going to get visited by the good idea fairy and try to come down on our profession. So it’s up to us to get our house in order before they do.
I don’t know about that. In the HPC space we use a lot of EL distros. Mainly Centos & now Rocky. Most of the nodes run the os in ram too. Though almost all those kind of systems have no internet connection and don’t use things like crowdstrike. I’ve worked for a few places where the only part of the company that used windows was the office staff eg accounting, hr, etc. everything else is/was using an EL distro or upstream of one eg Fedora. Those type of places usually don’t mess things like crowdstrike for a lot of different reasons eg the kind of data they’re processing and security requirements on that data.
Depends on your management solutions. Intel vPro can allow remote access like that on desktops & laptops even if they’re on WiFi and in some cases cellular. It’s gotta be provisioned first though.
So when’s the last time you touched some grass? It’s a lovely day outside. Maybe go to a pet shelter and see some puppies? Are you getting enough fiber? Drinking enough water? Why not call a friend and hang out?
I use backblaze b2 for my storage. I use restic to backup everything to it. It works well and I’ve had it going for YEARS at this point. For things I could never replaced, like photos, I use external drives in addition to B2. Everyone knows that if something happens and we need to leave to just grab the drive that is stuck to the wall and the family photos will be safe.
My though process goes like this, everything backups to my home server. I have snap shots of the data on a normal basis. So if I need to get something back, going to a snap shot is pretty simple. If for some reason my server(s) just stopped existing for some reason I could pull it back from B2. I’ve only had to actually restore from B2 a handful of times and it was worth it.
Yeah, it was always too much for me. But I know quite a few people who run their entire business on it and they’re not small by any means. They hired some people to do custom work for modules too. They all started as small businesses too with Odoo and it just grew with them
XMPP is fantastic IMHO

I don’t recommend self hosting something you want available all the time. That being said everyone has different needs/uses 😊
Like everyone has said there’s way better ways of doing it.
HOWEVER if you wanted to use dd you totally could. I’d recommend piping into something like gzip/zstd to save some space though.
dd if=/dev/sda | gzip >/mnt/backup_disk/sda.gz
You could also use restic backup the raw block device too.
That being said, clonezilla is exactly what you want
Fedora Server, Rocky Linux, and/or Free RHEL dev license. That’s what I use for all of my stuff.
For containers I use podman kube. For storage I use ZFS and VDO.
Rocky & RHEL
It’s all good, hope you find a solution that works best for you 😊
