Raspberry Pi NextCloud Server

thingiverse

I've utilized my Raspberry Pi 3B+ to establish a standalone NextCloud server. Having a cheap backup server was essential, and since I had a spare Raspberry Pi 3B in one of my drawers, I opted for it over buying a backup solution. The primary benefit of using a Raspberry is that it consumes minimal energy and is fully customizable. This enables the solution to remain extremely flexible and scalable. My main objective is to use NextCloud to duplicate my work data, which proves to be more cost-effective than employing a NAS with RAID 5 or RAID 1. A small 2.5-inch HDD suffices for this task. Additionally, Nextcloud offers intriguing features in the context of customer access, such as granting secure internet access by declaring the server in the DMZ of your router and utilizing a DynDNS service. Transferring data takes an extended period of time. It took me several days to synchronize my 1 TB of data. I hope you find this helpful, and I wish you success!
