How in terms of “how did you do it” i.e. a guide a wiki etc. How to you maintain it? How do you provide security and how do you maintain it? Do you host on bare metal at home? Do you use a cloud service? If the former, how do you connect to it when you aren’t at home?

I realize that’s a lot to ask, but I have some down time and want to hear everyone’s full viewpoints

    I set up a Nextcloud home server. It was moderately easy.

    I wanted to stop using Google Drive and went looking for the most popular free, open source alternative. I found that not only is NextCloud popular for this, but you can set it up by burning a premade .iso disk image to an SD card and then starting it up on a Raspberry Pi. So that’s what I did.

    I still had to follow guides to set up remote access and security, but following the guides was pretty straight forward. I really recommend it!
