Currently specing out a NAS and I'd like to get a bit of a sanity check on my idea for it. Here's the plan:
- bcachefs with 3x14tb hdds with replicas=3 (so I can lose 2 disks), and a 1tb ssd as a cache drive
- nfs and smb as options to access files from my personal ("main") folder structure
- various services like nextcloud, immich, and jellyfin with data stored in their own locations outside of the main folders
- jellyfin will likely read my music library from a folder somewhere in the main folder structure
- nextcloud for its nice apps (todo, calendar, notes)
- not 100% sure how to integrate the actual cloud storage part of nc. maybe it could be something like another frontend for my main storage, like nfs and smb? I'd like to consolidate the places I keep things if possible.
- no plan for off-site backup yet, although considering crashplan as an option for this
- remote access through tailscale or other mesh network
- hardware is raspberry pi 4b
- I've used this as my server for a while. It runs nextcloud and jellyfin fine. Not sure about immich yet.
- OS is NixOS
Is there anything I didn't mention here that I should consider before I go ahead with this? Any tips from other NAS owners? Favorite data hoarding services I should run? Any feedback is appreciated!
