So I have a NUC with Proxmox as the primary OS and OPNsense in a VM for my home network. I’ve been trying to move away from Google services but would still like to use them as a back up solution. Would it make sense to use Nextcloud in a VM as a replacement and use Rclone to encrypt and backup my files to Google Drive? Or should I use a NAS OS like Open Media Vault instead?

I’ll also mention that I have an empty SSD that I can passthrough and that my primary draw to Nextcloud is that they have a Windows desktop syncing app like Google Drive does which makes things familiar and convenient. I don’t plan on having my Nextcloud instance exposed to the web but might setup a Wireguard tunnel into the local network in the future.

    If you need instant replication then Syncthing is probably your best bet but don’t forget to disable the relaying function

      I second this, if you only need to sync files on different locations. Syncthing is awesome and very reliable. Using it every day for several years

        Syncthing is great for mirroring files across any number of devices. I use it and love it. Just remember Syncthing itself, is not a backup solution.
