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

How do you clean the port?

Mine is at the point where there is only one specific USB-C cable that I can charge it on.

Literally all other cables simply won’t charge it, and now it’s at the point where I need to have that cable in a very specific position for it to charge.

At least wireless charging still works, the phone is only 3 years old, I really should replace the battery and port

In theory you don’t, in practice you do.

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

The two party system is cooked.

Nothing will get better till the two party system is a thing of the past.

Do you have backups in place if your house burns down?

That’s the problem I’m looking to solve for myself right now.

For Photos the lazy route is to just pay Hetzner 5$ a month for 1TB storage and Nextcloud
https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/
(I tried this for a month and loved it, decided to then host myself)

The not lazy route is to host Nextcloud yourself, but because it’s important thigns like your family photos, you need to be sure your backups are solid.

I bought myself a Hardkernel H4+ and will be setting it up as a NAS with Nextcloud

Nice!! Happy you found a easy performance improvement

Thanks I’ll see if I can get the thumbnails on the SSD for more snappyness.

Thanks I’ll look into this, I’ve never setup ZFS but the hardware I need to comes next week. looking forward to it

I’d want to give Immich read only rights, would need to see if that is possible.
