I’m looking for suggestions. I have a rack in my office with up to 4U space available. I’m looking to set up a backup and storage solution to try and break free from services such as dropbox & google drive. I’d also love to run a few other things like homeassistant and potentially even Klipper for my 3d printer. I’d also like it to be reasonably quiet if possible.
So what would you recommend? I could get something like a dell poweredge and add HDDs + replace the fans with noctua to keep the noise down or go with a dedicated NAS like synology. Any other recommendations?
I agree that Nextcloud is a pain in the ass most of the time but FWIW the official AIO + reverse proxy method has served me well. I run it in a proxmox LXC container so it’s pretty tidy, upgrades tend to work well and it doesn’t force its own reverse proxy/certificate management on me.
