    Well seem that I now have a new addiction. At first it was idling server. Now I’ve added idling encrypted backup to that list. At least the chances of losing family picture are getting lower and lower....

    Isn't the backup storage supposed to be idle? As long as the primary doesn't break, you won't need the backup.

    I have 120GB of photos, since our first digital camera in 2002. All photos are in a 2TB USB HDD attached to the home router.
    Before that, I took 20 digital photos from 1998 at a computer summer camp, but the floppy disk containing those photos broke around 2000 and I lost them forever, except 2 photos printed.

    NOVOS would be my first off-site backup. With 200GB space, I would have enough for next 5~8 years.
    Now let's see whether the BRICK gets discontinued before that time comes.

    Agree that backup are mostly idling once the initial upload is completed and until you need them...

    I had transip services before but since they are shutting down the free offer I've looked for a new home. I also have in house backup on an external drive connected to the router. But that does not protect for fire event, flood or even theft. So online storage is kind of a necessity. And I'm too lazy to manually do an offsite backup on an external drive.

    Hey @martijnk nice offer! ??

  • martijnkmartijnk

    Well we've reached 100 users so I added 100 more :)

    Also webdav had a 512MB file size limitation that was increased to 32 GB.

    I am certainly doing something wrong ... how do I access Collabra? I cannot find it anywhere. Please note, I am new to NextCloud so maybe I am not looking in the right place, but I have looked everywhere.

    Just create a new document or spreadsheet in a folder, then when you click it it will open.

    I had it disabled because it was leaking email of other users. Should be fixed now though.

    Yeah correct, I've seen that a couple of times. I'm still tweaking the values.

    I think the latter has to do with the first.

    Uhmm, I wish my life were that simple. I created a new document. It did not open. I reread and saw that you said to create it in a folder so I did that ... same.

    Now, a few minutes later ... it works. Sigh

    You're not wrong. When I create a new document and click it, nothing happens. I have to go somewhere else, come back to files, then click it and it works.

    It's a bit bugged I guess...

    Off topic - has anyone successfully mounted nextcloud using webdav?

    https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/20/user_manual/en/files/access_webdav.html#creating-webdav-mounts-on-the-linux-command-line

    I did as per above instructions and mount works fine, but when I reboot my box goes into emergency mode.

    @dosai said:

    I set a system-wide mount for WebDAV.
    All files would show up as owned by the ubuntu user that I use to login to the desktop.

    sudo apt install davfs2

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/BRICK

    @martijnk Nice deal you got here, and thanks for the free 200GB. However, is there a way to enable file sharing with non-nextcloud users?

    Edit: Found the share option.

    Could we have the "App Order" app installed pretty please? Maybe "Notes" and/or "Deck" too?

    Interesting, I forget to disable NordVPN autoconnection but still order successfully.

  • YmpkerYmpker OG

    I think my order failed many times without VPN. Maybe because I am in Spain and billing address is german. Could try ordering via vpn but...
    Maybe IP from my shared flat here is blacklisted?

    just got onboard, the new nextcloud UI looks good! seems different than what I got from swizzin

    hope this BRICK will never get bricked!

    It took me two days to upload all the photos (about 120GB) via davfs2+rsync.

    • davfs2 isn't working on my home router (GL-AR750) so I have to run it on a BeagleBone Black, then rsync from SAMBA mount to WebDAV mount.
    • rsync would only transfer 1 file at a time.
    • All the modify dates are messed up because WebDAV protocol doesn't allow setting modify dates.

    I wish I knew rclone ealier.
    With rclone sync command:

    • rclone can run on the home router directly, so the source HDD is local.
    • rclone can transfer 4 files in parallel.
    • Modify dates are set correctly.
    • There are fewer command line flags to remember than rsync.

    Currently, I'm using rclone to re-sync the photo directory.
    It wants to re-upload about 15% of the files, and takes a lot of CPU and RAM.
    Nevertheless, once I put it into nice, everything is progressing smoothly and should complete in less than a day.
