My experience has often been that Business mostly cares about what they and their users can directly interact with (The FE) and don't really care about spending time and effort on the BE

I can't imagine why anyone would put themselves through the insane amount of effort it takes to figure this stuff out and set everything up. Yet I love it, just want to keep tinkering and doing more

It's a slippery slope

Nice good luck!! I think I'm going to keep NextcloudAIO as is, not having everything in one place feels better and safer.

lol I won't those HDD's are like my babies, I'm very careful with them, that temporary stand while not foolproof is solid, but I have no plans of testing it out now that the drives are in there

Currently I have Nextcloud-AIO running on proxmox in a docker LXC and it's been great, very stable and I like the setup. It's also officially supported by Nextcloud.

I'm considering moving it over to TrueNAS but I need to look at the Pros and Cons, it would be nice to have everything in one place, but that also comes with drawbacks and risks.

I love my janky temporarily solution.

I made a stand of old ikea plastic parts I had laying around, screwed them together and have both drives supported from both sides and connected together.

If I directly bump the drive hard enough they'd fall, but I'm pretty confident I can shake the table really hard and they'll be fine.

I'm hoping to get a 3D printer to make a more permanent solution

Thanks this is a very temporary solution until I can 3D print a better solution or buy an better temporary solution.

It's pretty stable I have a make shift stand, and I'd have to bump them pretty hard for them to fall over. If I shake the table hard they definitely won't fall

Way too late, I'm down the rabbit hole

My First Homelab (media.piefed.social)
 

I'm new to this, and having a lot of fun.

I started with the Blackview MP80 running Ubuntu(Minecraft server on docker and Home Assistant in a VM)

Then I bought the BMAX for 82€ and moved HA on to it so I can wipe the MP80 and play around with Proxmox and Nextcloud erc without breaking my home automations.

Yesterday I got the Hardkernel H4+ with 16gb ram and 2x 6TB 2nd hand commercial grade HDD's (testing them now, 3 month guarantee)

Looking forward to setting up ZFS pools for the first time, ans probably move my Nextcloud AIO over to the TrueNAS app

Nice thanks for sharing. I'm thinking of doing something similar but to Hetzner (it's dit cheap)

Would just need to figure out encryption

It's a "Democracy" where you can only choose one of two parties.

Both of which suck. One clearly more than the other, but your only two options are terrible.

I've been using Only Office, it's great. I see no need to use MS Office

 

I've currently got Nextcloud AIO hosted in Proxmos on a NUC to play around with what works and what doesn't and get a feel for self hosting, and I'm loving it.

Space on the NUC is an issue, 512GB just won't cut it if I move my whole family over.

So I've ordered a ODROID H4+ and will be setting it up as a NAS with 2x 6TB HDD's in a ZFS mirror (it arrives next week) and then I'll move everything over to it.

Is it possible for me to use the 1TB SSD to save all data excluding Media (Photo's and Videos) and use the HDD's for the rest as they take up lots of space.

I'd also like to then use Immich to scan the Media on the HDD's to use it as a viewer (And sync phone media etc. through nextcloud because I find it to be more stable, and then everything will still work even if Immich is down)

What are your thoughts? Is this a good idea? Is it over complicated? How would you set it up?
