      Reading past ML threads about NextCloud.

      And hopefully following along to install NextCloud ?

      Yeah. I have about 1.5 TB of data that I want to store in it. Ideally, I’d have this instance hosted outside of my home. Issue there is cost. Only thing I see that makes sense is to put a server in colocation since VPS gets pretty expensive for that amount of data.

        breaking free and going retro. ditching o365 and moving off the cloud. keeping stuff local and no longer paying for things I don't use.
        i was paying for convenience, but never using it.

          If you're needs aren't huge, then there are free options for smaller needs on a personal level.

            That's something I'm thinking about as well. The difference is I do use some of the convenience. 🙂

            Will you back up your data to some kind of external hard drive, or send it off to a cloud provider?

              Hahaha. Cloud provider. Nope. It's all on an external disk.
              I'm going to schedule an ftp job every whenever to backup my important stuff to a web host somewhere maybe.

              I don't get much email I need to keep and I do alot communicating via phone, just like everyone I guess.
              I measured my inbox and it came to a whopping 1.0x GB which included all folders etc.
              I was paying around $AU18.20/mth for the O365 account.
              Now I'm paying around $AU19/yr for email hosting at Zoho and just IMAPing it to my PC.
              I already had a copy of Office 2016 which I had uninstalled and was using the O365 version. I hardly use that either, only Outlook and Onenote and teeny bit of Word.
              Untangling myself from Onedrive and Exchange Online has been a bit of work, lost a few emails and photos & contacts, but nothing world ending.

              I'd really hate to have to do all that without any real knowledge of Onedrive & Exchange, you'd lose stuff everywhere I reckon.

                I’m curious why you lost anything at all?

                Is the non office version of O365 not available to you? That would have significantly lowered your monthly cost and left you with OneDrive for business.
                Plus you could have moved to Outlook.com or Gmail for free, then paid like $1/m for onedrive if you wanted

                  Yes. (Both).

                  Files that I regularly use and need sync'd (pics and such from my phone) are on my NextCloud server which is backed up to Wasabi. (~1TB of data right now).

                              No, that actually lives in my hosted lab... $27 /month for Quad Core, 16GB RAM, 2TB usable (2 x 2TB raid 1) from KimSufi.

                              The only thing in my home right now that I actually NEED is my Plex server.... but I rclone that to Wasabi too, lol.

                                    That sounds like the kind of hosting service that might match what I want. I’ll look into it.

                                      Still don't know wtf caused it, but the laptop is a Win 7 refurb from 3+ years ago, so it's just not worth repairing.
