BSD was good at one point

These days however…

I wouldn’t recommend that as it doesn’t do a lot to protect data. Instead go ZFS or Btrfs.

Why would you go from Arch to unraid?

With all due respect, Arch isn’t good for servers. That isn’t to say Arch is bad but it isn’t designed for long term stability.

If you are looking for something simpler go TrueNAS.

Get a old workstation and put some drives in it

There is so much wrong with this

Don’t expose things to the internet

That goes for corporate settings as well as personal stuff. You almost certainly do not need your self hosted services to be publicly accessible by bots. Anything on the internet gets pounded.

Don’t expose stuff to the internet

You need to setup a developer account so you can install apps from local sources

What hardware are you running it on?

What’s the best ACME server?

Switch to ZFS

Ext4 is way to vulnerable to power loss. It just keep a journal but it isn’t nearly as robust as ZFS

That is only an issue in Europe. OP sounds like they are from the US

I also don’t think GDPR is much of a concern as there are large companies using Google and Microsoft services who seem to be fine with the risk. (I’m pretty sure Google and Microsoft also host European stuff in Europe)

Could you pay them to host it for you?

I think that is for a shared CPU not a dedicated CPU. Nextcloud can be resource intensive in some cases so you probably do not want to run it on a shared plan.

Just a word of warning

Nextcloud is very finicky and can be prone to breakage. That’s not the say don’t use it but be realistic about the amount of work needed to maintain it.

Honestly I would just go for gsuite or office365 simply because they are less likely to break on you. It sucks that Nextcloud is a huge monolith but it is what we have.

Not necessarily

Notice Forgejo is being hosted on Forgejo. The community behind it is much stronger while Gitea is some startup that is desperately trying to be relevant.

Look at the number of commits

Why no container?
