@ftrain I'd argue for the combination of Digital Ocean, a Pi or the laptop, and a NAS. Think of it like backups, with multiple copies in multiple places, and testing restores.
The NAS will mean that a single disk can die, without data loss. Work locally on the Pi or laptop, and push/save/backup to the NAS. Then, perhaps automatically, push from the NAS to the droplet.
