What storage software could I run to have an archive of my personal files (a couple TB of photos) that doesn’t require I keep a full local copy of all the data? I like the idea of a simple and focused tool like Syncthing, but they seem to be angling towards replication.

Is the simple choice to run some S3-like backend and use CLI or other client to append and browse files? I’d love something with fault tolerance that someone can gradually add disks to. If ceph were either less complicated or used less resources I’d want to do that.

    How was it setting up and running Nextcloud? I’m very curious about their office software, looks fun.

      As I remember, setting it up was kind of a pain, but once runnnig it hasn’t neded attention. I don’t use the fancy apps. Also, by now there might be an apt package or docker container or something of that sort. I haven’t used their fancy apps much. My main use of it is to upload photos from my phone so I can access them from other devices.
