12 hours agoI have a dedicated server running nextcloud. So basically what a NAS does as well, without the proprietary part.
The compelling reason is simple. I can move data to nextcloud that I want to have a backup of (the data is nextcloud is so again backed up, using 3,2,1 principe). Reinstalling my operating system (Linux) is also much easier, I’m not afraid I might lose photos for example.
And sharing. I use nextcloud to easily share the data I want to share. Either within the household or even outside of that.
Hence I also recommend bananapi for example with a dedicated sata connector or nvme connection.
