Being afraid puts one in shackles. There's no sense in being afraid of a situation you cannot change. So: no, I'm not afraid, but I'm pessimistic and I'm trying to adapt, and prepare myself with my kids for a possibly worse future and try to develop workaround strategies.

Portabase v1.7.1 - Open source database backup/restore tool

Can you explain to me how the core backup process works? I browsed the git repo, but could not find it after about 10 minutes.

For example PostgreSQL: does it just do a pg_dump of a whole database? Or table for table? What about incremental backups? Are these implemented? And if so, what's the concept behind it?

Otherwise I would not see any use for larger (dozens of gigabytes and more) databases.

Self Hosted OpenSource Projectmanagement Tool

OpenProject has some nice solution for documents: https://www.openproject.org/docs/user-guide/documents/ and https://www.openproject.org/docs/user-guide/file-management/ . Aren't these enough for you?

Also: OpenProject includes a good wiki for a project. It's in many cases a better alternative to a document storage, since there is no "download - edit - upload" workflow, so there are no race conditions. (i.e. two people download a doc, edit the doc independently and whoever uploads last "wins" while deleting the previous uploaders changes.)

What do I actually need?

Raspberry Pi 4 (with its linux distribution) and an external usb hard drive attached. Install whatever service you want on it. I have Jellyfin and openproject (previously redmine) on it. This mini thingy sits without monitor, keyboard or mouse somewhere next to my router and connected with an ethernet cable. Works flawlessly.
