You should NEVER open ports for things like this. There is constant scans on all IP adress spaces and You WILL get scanned and they will try to breach your network. Its only a question of WHEN there will be a vulnerability they can use, not IF. Using it via a VPN or something like Tailscale is an absolute must.

With the electricity prices in most European countries its almost as expensive to run it yourself as using a cloud service. Many people actually made thorough calculations on this

My only concern might be power usage. Something like raspberry pi might be cheaper to run (i.e. 5 watts Vs 50 watts). £15 Vs £150 cost per year

I love NextCloud. I'm doing basically what's in this video. I'm using an AMD FX computer I got for under $100 (not including the 5TB hard drive I added to it.).

This is one of the few cases where I like Snap packages. The Snap version of Nextcloud is configured really well and updates itself automatically. In my experience the non-snap version of Nextcloud defaults to not using enough RAM to be performant, and is way more work to set up.

In short, this video is excellent. 🙂

@Gary Explains. Thanks for another interesting and enjoyable video.
But I hope You, or some of in Your audience can clarify/answer my possibly very naive/stupid question.
But is this "scenario" all under the supposition that You have a static IP that is also available to connect into from "the web outside". Meaning that You are now in essence a system-admin for an internet connected server ? Admittedly You are running an "off the shelf package" ((NextCloud)) But You still have to be aware of the risks and drawbacks of running a "service" that can be reached from "the outside"... Or what am I missing, does this come with some form of "built in VPN".. ?
Best regards.

What are the Configration to be done so that we can access my storage from web ie outside my home

I wonder if it is somehow possible to connect it to the internet so that I can access it from anywhere without paying for a static IP ? I do have a domain which I am using to host a personal website using Digital Ocean.
I do have a broadband connection at home, but no static IP.
