Hello everyone, I am a long time lurker of this channel, and I finally decided to write my first post.
Two years ago I used my old desktop PC to run a home server using TrueNAS Scale. It is still running at the time of writing this.
It works so well in fact that I have grown more dependent on it over time. First it was just Jellyfin, then came all the Arr apps, Adguard, Syncthing, Immich, Forgejo, Wireguard…
What was supposed to be the “PC for backups” has turned into the angular stone of all my computers and devices.
The reason why I am posting today is because I am afraid of the day my server dies or I have to move out of my place (which might happen soon)
Does anyone know if it is possible to rent a cloud server where I could install TrueNAS and then have that be a “replica” of my local one to use in case of an emergency? Is this a bad idea? What is the ideam solution for this issue?
they love us for this though right?
right??
just cause it’s awesome when The New Thing finally spins up, after fiddling with permissions and mounts on mounts on mounts doesn’t mean its NOT hard work!!
I’ve pushed the limits of the SAF a few times.
Noting that I could buy a new NAS every year with what we save on not Netflix is helpful occasionally.
