Me too! Are you me? Oh no, I've finally lost it... I'm talking to myself.
Yup! Definitely.
Wait... New answer! I'd give them to the first guy who replied to me on Lemmy! He would be very appreciative.
I would haunt eBay for an old file bay, such as an HP Proliant or a NetApp, then get an HBA card, and hope there is a spot in my house that isn't going to be bothered by the noise. There's a seller called theartofserver on eBay that repurposes old enterprise grade stuff for self hosting use, and I got a card that connected a NetApp file bay to my old 4th gen gaming rig, and that's where all my files live now. I've lost a few drives over the years, but no files.
I had a work laptop and did the "external USB" thing. One day, at work, I'm messing with my Linux on a public wifi, having unplugged from the corporate LAN.
A co-worker walks by, sees the Network cord unplugged, plugs it in. I am oblivious in the washroom.
Corporate security got to my laptop before I did.
I didn't get fired.
I don't work there anymore, though.
If it is encoded properly, NextCloud links will just play. I've sent video to my "Which one is the right click?" Mother.
Mkv won't play out of the box, but most mp4's do. I self host, but I have a higher upstream than you do. (I get about 12. Slow, but it does generally work.)
I have an x86 proxmox setup. I stuck a kill-o-watt on it. Keep your pi setup if it does what you want, and realize that there's someone out there who is jealous of your power bill.
Did you remove the snap with purge?
Like, sudo snap remove --purge nextcloud? Because the purge will (should) erase stopped passwords and stuff.
I have a snap Nextcloud that I've managed to keep alive for seven years now... I've had a few issues, but it's been pretty good overall.
One day I'll put up a Docker and move everything over... One day.
Do two NICs. I have a bigger setup, and it's all running on one LAN, and it is starting to run into problems. Changing to a two network setup from the outset probably would have saved me a lot of grief.
I've had a lot of success with Lutris for apps you wouldn't expect.
My first step was Nextcloud as a snap on a Xubuntu desktop. Very old hardware but a big hard drive.
That was eight years ago. I'll let you know if it fails anytime soon.
I have a bunch of other stuff now, but that was the start, and I still use it all the time!
