I use my own NAS at my homelab. Prior i liked nextcloud but i had regularly new problems with it and switched to just my own NAS and syncing with syncthing.
My NaS gets backupped nightly onto a big backup-drive which gets backuped too.
Then encrypted and stored another backup on degoo (sucks ass but i have a lifetime 3tb-acc so…).
So when me or my SO snap a pictures, it’s instantly at home (and locally deleted) and a day later supersafe.
Best circumvention of SDcard-lack in stupid “modern” phones.
Maybe. I thought about retrying it. But it was really annoying last time. Every other update and something stopped working. Wifey pissed coz pictures not syncing and whatnot. I ended up just killing it.
Maintenance should not be that high, it’s private, that’s not a job 😁
Yeah but… It’s an open wound in a sensitive local setup. Shouldn’t one apply the latest stitches to be safe?
I fear zero-days. But why risk having three-months-ago-days?
But ok, considering there aren’t many alternatives…
Oh it’s pretty cheap. Relatively. That particular server is an i5/32gb normal desktop. Hdds are very cheap. Got 2 6tb for main backup and accumulate everything to #1 over the day, and a CC of 1 to 2.
Os is win2019 and backup Software is macrium reflect (simple, reliable, fast and with incremental backups and if you need something restored you click on the date and it will be a drive. Choose your stuff, restore, eject drive, done. Love it)
Nothing complex or expensive. And if It was only for that it could’ve been a cheap 100 buck used desktop.
And yes. There’s totally no reason not to backup to hdds. I haven’t used a cd/bluray for 2 decades now. As long as u backup your backup (hdds just suddenly die…) it’s fine for home-use.
Oh thanks. Guess noone would know the reference anyway 😉

Not bad, quite like this! also had a few issues with nextcloud previously, but that is a long time ago, have heard it has improved quite a bit since.

The secret to running your own nextcloud is: Don’t install the latest major version.

Last three major versions receive security patches, so you do install updates, but you don’t update to the latest major, there’s a difference.
I’d love to have a setup like this someday. Hard drives are so cheap nowadays that it’s probably stupid not to.
Also, I greatly appreciate your username.
