I used to regularly backup my photos to an external drive, but it'd still be in my house. Recently I just opened a cold object storage bucket at OVH and rclone to it every night. So even if they fail, the chance they fail at the same time as I do is pretty minimal. And I pay like 0.75€ a month for ~400GB

For those of you who build your own NAS, what are you willing to buy used? in c/[email protected]

My current setup is all used, except the mobo cause mini ITX LGA 1200 is a pain, and the PSU cause I got a great deal on that passive one. But they could also have been used.

What operating system do you use for your home server? I’m planning to do unraid but what are the other options and why would you pick one or another? in c/[email protected]

Arch, because I've always had a better experience with it than Ubuntu, be it server or desktop. I also daily drive it on my desktops.

It's so much easier to setup. Only with Docker and MergerFS it's a command and easily updatable, instead of the PPA setups or bash installs you have to do on Ubuntu. The wiki is still the best.

And it's way easier to maintain when there's less stuff.

Android isn't cool with teenagers, and that's a big problem in c/[email protected]

Where is the “offsite” that you keep a second copy? in c/[email protected]

Encrypted on OVH cold storage.

Should I go with docker containers or continue just using Arch for my home server? in c/[email protected]

I just run Arch on my server and spin up whatever docker containers I need.
