I had a 1U Supermicro box with 4x500GB drives lying around and I installed ESXi 6.7U2 on it. I created 3 VMs on it, -- one to serve as a PCOIP so that I can connect to a desktop linux and make use of the CPU and RAM on the server to perform tasks instead of having my measly Chromebook do it, another VM is only to test various distros etc and for general tinkering and the third to possibly host a linux VM and install NextCloud along with a LAMP stack. This third VM has 600GB of disk space available to it from the 930GB total(after accounting for RAID6 for ESXi)
My question is how is NextCloud plugin on FreeNAS different than on a standalone OS with Apache and PHP stack? I tried finding some articles on this, but I found a lot of howtos, but nothing that really laid out the differences. Is it just slower to update to the latest?
Secondly, I intend to provide my family members login accounts to this self-hosted cloud. So it will have about 5 accounts in total. Each member will have 100GB of data that they can store. These users will connect from different countries. Would installing a plugin on FreeNAS require me to expose my freenas box to the world? I don't want to do this particularly because I don't want to share everything I have on my local NAS.
However, even if I go the standalone OS route, I'd still like a way to move the data from the cloud to my NAS. I was thinking of using the cloud to instantly delta backup my phones when I get home and then at a later time (possibly in the dead of the night) to copy or move that data to my NAS. It should also allow my family to share some data between each other.
I know this is the FreeNAS forums and I might not get all the details here, but I just wanted to know mainly the difference between the plugin and installing it on a standalone VM. And whether the plugin would be able to support my use-case.
Thank you,
