I just spun up a Nextcloud VM, and I’m trying to decide the best way to manage the data storage.
For context, I’m running it on proxmox and installed it with This script.
Ideally I’d like to keep most of my storage on my NAS. I’m trying to figure out if I should keep the data directory local and add a NAS NFS share as external storage, or just move the whole data directory to an NFS share.
How are you guys handling your Nextcloud storage?
Yea proxmox on one machine and a separate machine running truenas and serving NFS
Sure. That’d be a valid use-case. I don’t think I can recommended anything, here. Both should work fine. And you can always run into some unforeseen consequences in a few years. Especially once you decide to change something about your setup. But these things are hard to factor in. I often tend to prefer the easier solution over the more complex one. That helps with maintainability. But that approach doesn’t always apply.
Edit: If you want everything stored on the NAS, just do it.
