And so it begins: last weekend I decided to migrate away from #iCloud subscriptions (around 50 € a month) to self host in my #homelab 🥳 I took this decision because of politics and #DataSovereignty !

I looked into #NextCloud, but it was extremely slow: one tool that tries to do everything at once was not the way…

So instead I decided to use these:
- #Immich for Photos
- #syncthing for Documents
- #Proton for email and calendar
- #Bitwarden / #vaultwarden for passwords

Let’s see! #selfhosting

@koalalorenzo I run nextcloud on a small pc (like a nuc) in NixOs and I don't have speed issues. But I only have family as users, so around 10 users. I think the AIO nextcloud solution is good but i suspect it is slow.

@goddaw yeah, I am using NixOS too, but the I/O of importing 450 GB of photos was painful. I am also not happy about running a PHP app at all. I went with Immich for that, and to follow the Unix philosophy. NextCloud is trying to do all the things at the same time :(

@koalalorenzo yeah, that is true about the unix philosophy and I also thought about Immich (but that was before it was stable). I must say that Nextcloud Photos was good for me, but in the future I might move my photos to Immich.

@koalalorenzo TIL about #syncthing! Looks intersesting.
