Talk about information overload!
Butterflies are caterpillars at one stage of their life. You can have 'em.
I got a home web server up and running with NextCloud and my files are syncing now. I plan to grab a lot of stuff from Journey to Forever, Appropedia and CD3WD to add to my cloud files. Once done, I'll update all the links on my profile page.
My cloud is currently 2.4 gb, 1215 files in 44 folder/subfolders. It needs a little more organizing. That will probably end up around 10 gb and several thousand files when it's all said and done. That will be information overload.
Self hosting with a PC that has 250 gb is quite an upgrade from my 20 gb paid plan. It expires in March and I won't be renewing.
There's a tool, scan.nextcloud.com for checking the installation. My new cloud scored an A. The old one an F. The old nexctloud needed an update but I couldn't do it because the paid hosting server needed updates which is out of my control. The PDF viewer has been broken for a year so I ended up disabling it so that pdf files would just open in a new tab for the browser to display them. Pdf viewer on the new install works just fine.
I set up the server the easy way using FreedomBox. It handles the server configurations and gives me a web page to manage things. Below are the apps installed.
Right now, the root or home page of the domain, example.com, takes me to the above page but I'm going to make WordPress the home page. I'll still be able to access the above page at example.com/plinth. Nextcloud is already at example.com/nextcloud so that can stay the same.
