Dunno why I find this hilarious, but I do. That said, I need to buy myself a new NAS before I think about one for a friend ๐ฅบ
Easy then, buy a new one for you, give the old one to your friend :)
I wasnt really joking either, the upfront costs might be higher, but longer term will be cheaper than a cloud service. And hopefully more secure.
i have a nas for my backup at my parents house. you don't need friends for this ๐คท
throw Immich on the nas and backup the Photos as a pgp encrypted file on some cheap cloud service
I guess I'll spend some time looking into Immich. Thanks for the suggestion.
Probably ditch PGP and use rclone on a cron job to backup your photos to an encrypted remote. Then you can use whatever cloud provider is the cheapest at the time.
Ente is cool, but not cheap. Immich is free.
What does AI have to do with your NAS being less secure?
The Ente suggestion went right under my radar. It actually looks like a really solid suggestion, thank you.
No worries! Curious your thoughts on it if you decide to check it out more.
So the plan as it currently stands is to do real time photo backups with Immich and then back that up to a hetzner storage plan. But it's just a plan for now since I haven't even installed Immich yet. But the thinking is that it's cheaper than Ente, which looks good and gives me more wiggle room.
The AI is about my pictures being used to train facial recognition when they're sitting in the cloud.
But that wouldnโt happen if your NAS is your backup solution, right?
Would an encrypted backup using something like Crytomator or Rsync fit your needs? It would allow you to use the cheaper cloud services without letting them see the content of your files.
Proton Drive is another good option.
as long as you use a backup solution that encrypts the data before storing it remotely you will be fine. i like borg backup with borgbase as my first off-site storage, and a nas somewhere else as my second off-site storage.
Hetzner has a storage box. It is like 5โฌ/mo for 1TB NextCloud storage.
Sadly, the company that develops Nextcloud doesn't see a dime from that, so it's not really sustainable
What does that mean? NextCloud itself does not really host any servers themselves. If you want you can donate to them.
NextCloud makes money from companies/organisations that resell/host the software for the public or use it for their own people. Every organisation has the option not to give money to Nextcloud, but if you can afford it and don't do it anyway, it's a shitty thing to do, imo
Does Hetzner state that they do not give NextCloud money?
I know this from sources I cannot disclose, but apart from that the fact that they're not using the Nextcloud trademark/logo should speak for itself
Alright fair. Do you then happen to know providers that do indeed give NextCloud money?
I use mega.nz. ยฃ50 a year for 400GB and it's encrypted with your private key. The Linux support is really good with a nice sync, file browser extension, access via web etc.
I use File Coffee to store (and also share) fotos,videos, docs, presentations, PDF, txt, files..... Made in the EU, Netherlands.
