Feeling overwhelmed. Does anyone know How I should host Nextcloud?

I want it for myself and a few friends to use. I'd like to host it locally on my network using my old PC with a few HDDs for redundancy/large storage.

TrueNas Scale and OpenMediaVault look cool. but looking at TrueNas makes my brain melt atm. Should I just install it with Debian and use a docker image? Currently I have it running on an old Dell Optiplex using the Snap version on Ubuntu. I'd rather not host it on a VPS due to price and I like the idea of having my data locally.

Idk. Just feeling overwhelmed and confused with what to do. #SelfHostingAdvice #selfhosting #nextcloud

@ThatGeekZen This is self advertisment but I use https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook
It's a ansible playbook that supports a lot of services and makes maintaining them easy. #Nextcloud is one of them. I'd suggest a setup where you configure half of your drives as primary storage, half as backup space (done with the integrated borg backup role)
