Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'm looking for a linux program that can mirror a directory to another drive and move a subdirectory in the mirror.

As long as the backup system performs deduplication, it should be able to store the backup data efficiently even if the source files are constantly moved around or renamed.

ZFS snapshots can perform deduplication. There is also ZBackup, which also has deduplication support.
