Self Hosted Server and Backups

I’m experimenting with Homey Self-Hosted installed on a QNAP NAS. The system works quite well, but I’m hesitant to continue because with every update I lose everything I’ve configured up to that point — no more sensors, flows, etc.

There is probably something wrong with the container or the installed image, but I haven’t been able to figure it out. I carefully followed the guide, but without success.

I was wondering whether there is a cloud backup system available, even a paid one, so I wouldn’t have to worry about this anymore and could just focus on using Homey’s features.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve installeD SHS on Unraid -‘originally unused the one that appeared in the App Store. Every time I sneezed it lost everything. I eventually re created the container following the Instructions on here. That seems to fix it.

now I’ve a different issue in that half the time I’m unable to add items without a reboot Of everything.

Is the homey cloud backup option for the SHS in the works?

Just curious, what’s the interest in a cloud backup (paid option) when you can create your own backups and save them wherever you would like them (even in a cloud if you’d prefer)?

I think the issue is, “Homey Pro public” using HSHS because of the purchace price, and then assuming it has / should have the same functionality and options…

HSHS is a DIY Homey, users fix (most) stuff themselves.

Same here, running on a Synology NAS. My Homey SHS data is backed up to the cloud every night, just like my other important data.
