I am slowly getting into self hosting/home server stuff as I try and Degoogle and reclaim my data. I have made a plan on setting up a basic home server and would like any tips or recommendations (security, convenience, backups).
So my proposed setup is:
- Raspberry Pi 5 (or a mini PC)
- Immich (replace Google Photos)
- Filebrowser/Syncthing (replace Google Drive)
- Plex
- Tailscale
For backups I plan to manually connect external hard drives and run an rsync script to backup files and photos. I am not really concerned with making these files available to other people or hoarding data (max 50Gb of data). My main concern is ease of maintenance (backups, updates) and security.
So do you have any tips/pointer on getting this system setup.
