![]() ![]() I’m paying $43 per year for 400 GB of Seafile storage from Prometeus. ![]() Google Drive is $100 per year for 2 TB, and Dropbox is $120 per year for 2 TB. We can also ignore the fact that Google doesn’t even have a file sync client for Linux. Let’s ignore the fact that Dropbox stopped working on some Linux file systems. Let’s just forget my paranoia and assume I’m not worried about Dropbox peeking at my private data. Using Tailscale to Share a Single Computer.Even so, if I’m addressing my lack of storage, then I may as well include this data in my plans. I’m probably never going to look at the older footage. If my NAS dies, my GoPro footage will be gone. The video is stored on a RAID 10 on my NAS virtual machine. Most of it is GoPro footage from my FPV drones. I also have nearly three terabytes of video, and that sometimes grows by hundreds of gigabytes in a month. It was a power box.Īnd why was that other tree so low?! /ZWHOIcZhX8- Pat Regan January 19, 2021 I planned to do a nice, smooth S-turn over those trees at the other side of the field, but then I had to play a game of is-that-a-dude-or-an-electrical-box. Today I’m at around 380 GB, and Prometeus doesn’t have a larger tier. At the time, they consumed less than half the space in Prometeus’s 400 GB plan. When I signed up at, the bulk of my data was in the RAW photos from my DSLR. ![]() Seafile is at the heart of my backup strategy. Seafile also stores historical snapshots of my data on the server, so if I accidentally delete or corrupt all my files, I can always download them again. I want a centralized server in a remote location storing an encrypted copy of my data. I want Dropbox-style file sync between my desktop, laptop, and a few other machines. If a thief steals my server, they won’t have access to my data. This means that if someone hacks into my Seafile server, the attacker won’t have the ability to read any of my data. My collection of years of flight footage is still uploading. If you access an encrypted library in Seafile’s web interface, your keys are stored in memory on the server for about an hour.Įverything that used to be synced to my old third-party-hosted Seafile server in Romania has been uploaded to my little #raspberrypi setup, and my laptop and desktop are both connected and syncing. If you’re paranoid, though, you need to be careful. Seafile encrypts my data before it leaves my local machines, and the server doesn’t have the keys to unlock my files. I also decided it would be cumbersome to literally sync my actual home directory, but I did manage to sync every important subdirectory into its own Seafile library. At the time, Seafile couldn’t handle that many files in a single library well. My hope was to sync my entire home directory. In 2013, Seafile was the only piece of software I could find that was both encrypted on at the client and could scale to tens of thousands of files. There’s always a USB hard drive on sale somewhere. When I bought the 14 TB drive it was on sale for $230. You should MOST DEFINITELY shop around for a hard drive. How did I do?! /dDWCN3vExd- Pat Regan January 25, 2021 The Pi's case is affixed with 3M Dual Lock, and there some stickyback Velcro keeping the cables tidy. This is my little #RaspberryPi Seafile server with its 14 TB drive. Seafile and Tailscale aren’t terribly heavy! You can absolutely save yourself $20 and use a 2 GB model. I kept the 32 GB microSD card with my KVM and used a random 8 GB microSD card in this Seafile build.Īside from those two small differences, this seems to be exactly what I’m using. Aside from the case being transparent, this sure looks like that’s the kit from my Pi-KVM. I borrowed parts from the Pi-KVM setup that Brian gave me. Sure, I mentioned all the parts in various places, but it would be easier for you if I made a list. I completely forgot to list the parts I used when putting together my little Raspberry Pi server. Outsourcing My Self-Hosted Cloud Storage.Self-Hosted Cloud Storage Solutions: ownCloud vs.Self-Hosting my own Cloud Storage: FreeNAS, Nextcloud, and Tailscale.Some things have changed since then, and I’ve decided it is time to bring Seafile back in house. I wound up subscribing to ’s Seafile service in Romania. In 2018, my last colocated server started having hardware issues, so I started moving services to the cloud. ![]() In 2013, my Seafile server lived in a virtual machine on a physical server I already had colocated in a data center. ![]()
