This was an educational, fun and potentially useful project. With all the privacy concerns out there it’s good to have options. It can eliminate services such as Dropbox and Google photos. No agreeing to terms of services to companies who aren’t giving away these free services for free. There’s a cost!
To the best of my knowledge it’s installed correctly. At various testing stages, that hasn’t always been true. I haven’t explored all of it’s abilities and options.
Will I switch over to NextCloud? Is there anything else to consider? Well here are a few thoughts:
- Is my ISP plan big enough to handle the data I need/want to transmit? Probably not unless I’m prepared wait! Or upgrade at an added expense.
- What about backups? A single server in one location is not a good plan!
- Am I as good a server administrator as people who do this for a living? NO!
I mean even big companies with deep pockets that employ many people to protect their data…get hacked! - Will I get hacked? I certainly could…see the point above! The only thing in my favor is I’m a small nobody! Would anybody even bother?
