So I have a NUC with Proxmox as the primary OS and OPNsense in a VM for my home network. I’ve been trying to move away from Google services but would still like to use them as a back up solution. Would it make sense to use Nextcloud in a VM as a replacement and use Rclone to encrypt and backup my files to Google Drive? Or should I use a NAS OS like Open Media Vault instead?
I’ll also mention that I have an empty SSD that I can passthrough and that my primary draw to Nextcloud is that they have a Windows desktop syncing app like Google Drive does which makes things familiar and convenient. I don’t plan on having my Nextcloud instance exposed to the web but might setup a Wireguard tunnel into the local network in the future.
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll look more into Seafile. It’s much closer to what I want than Nextcloud since I don’t need all the extra services, but the downside from what I’ve read is that it doesn’t allow for file access from the host OS and that parts of the code is proprietary.
