I just set up an orange pi as an off-site restic backup!

I use restic for backups in my homelab onsite to my NAS. I’ve been doing this for about a year but I don’t have off-site backups. I’ve set up the orange pi with just a small HDD and set up wireguard on it so I can still access the pi when it is outside my network.

Then I added a restic copy command to copy my repo from my NAS to the remote, and it’s working!

Now I’ll leave it in my house for about a month or two to test that it’s still working, then take it to a family member’s house!
