Victoria (K8VSY) (she/her)<p>I couldn't export my .adi file from Wavelog on my "cheap" DigitalOcean droplet due to OOM errors (it only had 1 GB of RAM), so I went down a mini-rabbit hole and migrated to a new server with 8 GB of RAM for the same price over at Hetzner (I already have an account there for other servers)</p><p>I should have done this a while ago, but I didn't realize how little the specs were on my droplet</p><p>if anyone runs across any issues accessing my blog, ping me, 🙂</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/Wavelog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wavelog</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/DigitalOcean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalOcean</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/Hetzner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hetzner</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a></p>

DJ3CE<p>As I recently kind-of-partly messed up my log a bit (part of improving <a href="https://social.darc.de/tags/wavelog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wavelog</span></a>, you may find the pr, fixed before merge ;)) I know about my log-backup quite well: There are nightly MariaDB dumps, which are part of a (deduplicated, versioned, compressed, encrypted) 'default' backup strategy of the server. The resulting backup archive has a 'sporadic' manual rotating offsite offline copy (read harddisks). Weak points: encryption key and software. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@hamchallenge" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>hamchallenge</span></a></span> <a href="https://social.darc.de/tags/HC14S" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HC14S</span></a></p>

Michael K Johnson<p>Thanks to at least <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.darc.de/@DJ3CE" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>DJ3CE</span></a></span> and <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.radio/@hb9hox" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>hb9hox</span></a></span> for suggesting that I try <a href="https://social.makerforums.info/tags/wavelog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wavelog</span></a> for my <a href="https://social.makerforums.info/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a> logging needs.</p><p>Yesterday, I accidentally completed <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@hamchallenge" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>hamchallenge</span></a></span> HC14 (which I had completely forgotten about) by implementing <a href="https://www.wavelog.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wavelog</a> in a <a href="https://github.com/wavelog/wavelog/wiki/Installation-via-Docker" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">docker installation</a> running on top of local RAID on SSD in an AlmaLinux 9 VM on a Fedora 41 server, transferring all my various logs into it, and setting up restic to do daily backups of <code>/var/lib/docker/volumes</code> offsite about 1000 miles away. The restic encryption key is also backed up encrypted offsite. I also set it up to export my logs to the log aggregators I use.</p><p>To make the backups more robust, I also have wavelog set up to create adif log backups, and I modified the docker-compose.yaml file to put them into a system volume so that they are included in the offsite backups:</p><pre><code> volumes:<br> - wavelog-config:/var/www/html/application/config/docker<br> - wavelog-uploads:/var/www/html/uploads<br> - wavelog-userdata:/var/www/html/userdata<br> - wavelog-backup:/var/www/html/backup<br>...<br>volumes:<br> wavelog-dbdata:<br> wavelog-uploads:<br> wavelog-userdata:<br> wavelog-config:<br> wavelog-backup:<br></code></pre><p>I used it with WaveLogGate to log my massive 12 — <strong>12 I tell you</strong> — QSOs in the <a href="https://cqwpx.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CQ World Wide WPX Contest</a> (SSB) on Sunday. (Was fun taking serial numbers in the thousands and responding with a single-digit serial. "Seven? Please confirm, seven? Zero zero seven?")</p><p>I'll expect to use <a href="https://polo.ham2k.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Polo</a> for logging when activating <a href="https://social.makerforums.info/tags/POTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>POTA</span></a> — its logs import fine into wavelog, and maybe someday that will get automated too.</p><p>I set up one Wavelog station for each park I've activated so far, and at this point, I have set up only a single log linked to all my stations. I might later set up a POTA logbook linked to just the park stations.</p><p>And as of today that Wavelog instance hosts <em>two</em> family members' logs so far. So that HC14S counts for two hams.</p>
Adam - K3CAN<p>For this week's <a href="https://social.k3can.us/tags/hamchallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hamchallenge</span></a> : My primary logging software is <a href="https://social.k3can.us/tags/wavelog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wavelog</span></a>.
