Hi guys and gals!
So I have been thinking on removing my main storage device so it doesn't is exposed to the internet. And in the making of this, I thought to set up a small service for my family (they have been asking for a something like dropbox). I have been looking for something small and power efficient like a 1U atom server, that seems to be able to run a nextcloud and have ha few 100 users (redudency if someone else want storage). But how about the storage... I need something bigger then the 1U server to host drives, right? 500GB of SSD won't get me far. I dont want Amazon or google, I want to own the data and the network myself. So a 1U server, managing the services and the users, and another server to host the disks?
And that connection would then be on a VLAN, not exposing the fileserver directly to internet. The best scenario would be to run something similar to digital ocean, every users has their own container/droplet whatever, and then a quota on the fileserver.
Is their any solutions for this already out their? Or how should i proceed?
