- [**Here’s the link**](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/kopia_backup) Go a github repo with some selfhosted stuff guides… kinda documentation where I write up on how to deploy shit… Was on borg for a few years for my linux backup, and veeam for windows stuff… but really liked the idea of having kopia in the toolbelt as a universal backup solution that once I learn I can use anywhere - my docker linux host, or some techdept old windows server, or random user want just desktop backup. I tested few times any section there in VMs and on my docker host… but there could be some quirks. Do tell if I got something wrong. - [**Here’s the link**](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/kopia_backup) ---

Wow, this is awesome! I was desperately looking for something like this. A coherent documentation and working solution for running Kopia on Windows. Thank you so much! ---

I’m running mine as a service using nssm [http://nssm.cc/](http://nssm.cc/) download nssm cmd.exe nssm install Choose kopia.exe or kopia-ui I needed mine to run schedules even after reboot or logged out of windows. Now runs like a dream everytime or create batch file cd /D C:\Program Files\KopiaUI\resources\server kopia server start --insecure --address=127.0.0.1:51515 --server-username=yourservername --server-password=yourpassword --password=yourpassword nssm install choose batch file above to run as service, run as system account ---

Nice guide, i’d use a sytemd service too, if it wasn’t that I found [Cronicle](http://cronicle.net/). ![Screenshot 2023-10-17 at 15.12.45](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/kopia/original/1X/3c136043035f0ee83a2c1be8a02637232427d552.jpeg)
