What do I actually need? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm in the means of buying a mini pc for selfhosting stuff. My main reasons are sailing the high seas for movies and series and hosting my families photos, videos to escape gdrive. I'm thinking about some kind of DMS / digitalizing paperwork and mail in the future.

I casually look into all kinds of software that could do the task and now I'm a bit overwhelmed. Is owncloud or an alternative enough, or do I need something more elaborated like TrueNAS? But all the NAS Foss stuff seems to run on their own OS. Can my Pirate Ship run on that? I feel like the diversity of solutions is making this very opaque for me.

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

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

[–] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes Sir.

I do a backup of Proxmox to the NAS once a week and auto-delete anything older than one month, and I upload those and all pictures and critical files to the cloud. Critical files being personal data, information about the house, insurance papers etc.
Personally I use Proton and have 1 TB, which has been more than enough. It is also encrypted.

Movies, music and TV shows are not backed up as I don't consider them critical at all. It can all be re-downloaded if needed.

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

[–] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

No problem, friend.

Feel free to ask if you need some help setting stuff up and good luck!

Is the encryption built in with proton?

[–] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, end-to-end. Only you have access to the files. Proton does not.
