At a big box store they had a rack of 2TB WD MyBooks on clearance. Someone had accidentally included a few 8TB ones, all marked with the same price. I snapped one up and it's now happily plugged into my little BSD machine. I've been playing around with Copy Party and I like it. I'd like to see what else is available for self hosted cloud apps but search is so polluted these days, all I get is ads for cloud providers and guides on setting up SMB. Any suggestions? #BSD #copyparty #selfhost

In reading over this toot, I realize it isn't super clear. here's the tl;dr...

I suddenly have a bunch of storage on my network and I want to do something useful/fun with it for a wide variety of systems so I need some sort of HTTP/cloud setup to share it around.  ðŸ™‚

@ipxfong I have installed Nextcloud on my BSD box. It has a ton of features that I don’t use (yet), it’s mainly as a file sharing thing.

Thank you! I had heard of Nextcloud but couldn't remember the name. 😅
@ipxfong I like to browse https://awesome-selfhosted.net/ to find interesting things to use/play with
