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.

lsyncd does just this. It's intended use is to sync directories between systems over slow(ish) uplink, but it can work locally as well. It takes some fiddling to set up, but once set up it just does it's thing seamlessly at the background. However if you're just looking for a backup solution I'd might look for something else, like a plain rsync script.

This is the best answer. I use it regularly to keep hundreds of TB in sync across nodes. Works extremely well and is pretty much hands off once setup.
