What hardware do you use for Nextcloud? (www.foxyhole.io)

What hardware do you use for Nextcloud?
I’m willing to finally get my own cloud using #Nextcloud but I have zero clue about which hardware I should choose for home storage. It would be used for domestic stuff, such as photos, music, movies and files, for the whole family, not necessarily for work

I had some trouble getting ocis going, and it's all overly complicated for my simple home setup, especially the file storage. What I wanted from OCIS was basically a file server, integration w/ Collabora CODE, and no messing w/ web servers (just a reverse proxy). But it seems to want to be a lot more than that.

I haven't had time to play with Seafile much, but there are already some things I don't like:

  • no more SQLite support - removed in v11 I think?
  • no Postgres support, only MariaDB/MySQL
  • split w/ community edition and pro edition or whatever
  • not a huge dev community - maybe 5 active-ish devs? If that? And there are some old PRs w/ no action from the dev team.

But some things I do like:

  • FUSE layer - should make backups easy; also seems to have S3 compatibility, so maybe I won't need FUSE
  • clients for automatically backing up various devices, including for Linux
  • simple UX

So I guess we'll see how I like it. If it works well, I may end up contributing, or maybe I'll try porting to something I like more (I do a bit of Rust as a hobby, and this could be a fun project).
