TILvidsFeb 21, 2023

Got some great #tilvids news. After months of working (in my spare-spare time), all the technical goals I set for TILvids are up and running:

1. Migrated to a new host with more storage/resources at a better price, thus making our resources go further.

2. Spin up a US-based redundancy server to improve performance for our US viewers.

3. Implement automated, off-site nightly backups of the entire site, just in case.

Thank you to the countless people who helped along the way! 👏

@tilvids If you don't mind, i wanted to ask from #peertube operator to another, how do you backup the video storage? To protect again something like a massive bug that deletes all videos in object storage or something like that. Right now my plan is to use object versioning in my #s3 bucket with the plan of finding or creating some script to restore the entire database to a previous state (similar to #macos time machine)

Currently using Borgbase + Borg backup on ours. It took a while to get it set up, but now it just runs nightly doing an automated backup.

@tilvids @fiskfan1999 you didn’t ask but most s3 services also have a s3 object lock option: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/object-lock.html
Using S3 Object Lock - Amazon Simple Storage Service

Prevent Amazon S3 objects from being deleted or overwritten for a fixed amount of time or indefinitely using S3 Object Lock.
