I’m a massive Nextcloud fan and have a server up and running for many years now.
But I understand all of the downvoted commenters. It is clunky and buggy as hell at times. Maybe it’s less noticeable when you’re running a single user instance, but once you have non tech literate users using it you begin to notice how inferior it is to the big boys like google drive in some aspects.
That said, I personally have a decent tolerance for fiddling and slight frustrations as a trade off for avoiding privacy disrespecting and arguably evil corporations.
I would recommend everybody looking for a gdrive, Dropbox, one drive alternative to at least give Nextcloud a go.
Underlying system is running Proxmox. From there I have the relevant two VMs: OMV and Proxmox Backup Server. The hard drives are passed into OMV as SCSI drives. I had to add them from shell as the GUI doesn’t give the option. Within OMV I have the drives in a mergerfs pool, with a shared folder via NFS that is then selected as the storage from within the Proxmox Backup Server VM. OMV has another shared folder that is used by a remote duplicati server via SSH(SFTP?), but otherwise OMV has no other shared folders or services. Duplicati/OMV have no errors. PBS/OMV worked for a couple of months before the aforementioned error cropped up.
Also possibly relevant: No other processes or services are setup to access the shared folder used by PBS.
Looks like my reply got purged in the server update.
Running Proxmox baremetal. Two VMs: Proxmox Backup Server and OMV. Multiple HDDs passed through directly as SCSI to OMV. In OMV they’re combined into a mergerfs pool. Two shared folders on the pool: one dedicated to proxmox backups and the other for data backups. The Proxmox backup shared folder is an NFS share and the other shared folder is accessed by a remote duplicati server via SSH (sftp?). Within the proxmox backup server VM, the aforementioned NFS share is set up as a storage location.
I have no problems with the duplicati backups at all. The Proxmox Backup Server was operating fine as well initially but began throwing the estale error after about a month or two.
Is there a way to fix the estale error and also to prevent it from reoccurring?
Third time posting this reply due to the lemmy server upgrade.
Proxmox on bare metal. A VM with OMV and a VM of proxmox backup server. Multiple drives passed through to OMV and then mergerfs pools them together. That pool has two main shared folders. One is for a remote duplicati server that connects via SFTP. The other is an NfS for PBS. The PBS VM uses the NFS shared folder as storage. Everything worked until recently when I started getting estale errors. Duplicati still works fine
Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I have about 20TB of data on the disks otherwise I would take your advice to set up a different scheme. Luckily, as it’s a backup server I don’t need maximum speed. I set it up with mergerfs and snapraid because I’m essentially recycling old drives into this machine and that setup works pretty well for my situation.
The proxmox host is the default (ext4/lvm I believe). The drives are also all ext4. I very recently did a data drive upgrade and besides some timestamp discrepancies likely due to rsync, the SCSI semi-virtualized thing wasn’t an issue. I replaced the old drive with a larger one, hooked the old one up to a usb dongle and passed it through to OMV and I was able to transfer everything and get my new data drive hooked back into the mergerfs pool and snapraid. I’ll do a test and see if I can still access the files directly in the proxmox host just for educational purposes.
I’ll try to re-mount the NFS and see where that gets me. I’m also considering switching to a CIFS/SMB share as another commenter had posted. Unless that is susceptible to the same estale issue. I won’t be back at that location for about a week so I might not have an update for a little while.
I just finished watching this German produced Netflix film and it was completely awful. If you are looking forward to this film, go watch it first if you want and skip my little review below....
An AI movie would likely be an improvement over the dog shit Amazon and Netflix put out. The streaming services make content chasing algorithms. Sometimes they get lucky and find a legitimately good indie film they can slap their “Netflix Original” branding on. Rest assured they actually had nothing to do with its production and just bought it after the fact. The stuff they produce from scratch is usually the worst.
The issue with soldering I was trying to convey is that it isn’t an ideal process to make connections “in the field”, aka in a tight corner or behind a cabinet. A proper connection is solid, but it’s not feasible to make a proper connection if you’re upside down under a cabinet or standing at the top of a ladder.

Maybe I’m missing something but you can tell a compromised account from a secure account by the user behavior, no? If an account is compromised the activity will be spam/harassment, etc at which point a ban on that account would happen. And compromised accounts could be accessed from a non-vpn Ip also.
When you detect a compromised account you could put a freeze or lock on it. If there are that many compromised logins that constant account swapping is an issue then twitch needs to overhaul their account security.

This may be a simple question, but I could not find resources on that. Does creating a VPN into my home network using my router increase my attack surface? What are the security implications of that in general?
I’ve tried Nebula before but couldn’t get it running properly on all devices. How is Tailscale in terms of compatibility and can you also use wireguard simultaneously? Mesh networks are great for connecting my own devices and servers, but I still need a wireguard interface for certain servers to provide public access through a public router. I also ran into a major issue setting up Nebula on my laptop in which it couldn’t be used without disabling my VPN. Is any of that a problem with Tailscale? Also, is Tailscales coordination server self hostable or do you have to use theirs? That seems like a dealbreaker if you’re forced to use a third party coordinator
