Hi all, I have my home lab set up as a single git repo. I’ve got all infrastructure as opentofu / ansible configs, and using git crypt to protect secret files (tofu state, ansible secret values, etc).

How would you back up such a system? Keeping it on my self hosted git creates a circular dependency. I’m hesitant to use a private codeberg repo in case I leak secrets. Just wondering what the rest of you are doing.

    What I did is set up a NAS at my parents house, which I can log into as well for near zero cost offsite backups.

    And at home I have a couple of local drives with borgbackups.

      My parents have a NAS! Maybe I set up Tailscale and send it over there…

      Although they live 3 streets away from me so I worry it’s not remote enough in case of flood etc
