NOTE: I did a bit of housekeeping and garbage collection while writing this post, but I’m still over 4 TB! I checked earlier this month, and my Raspberry Pi’s hard drive is 41% full. I forgot to take into account the fact that my data is growing. I knew that once I made it to February 2022, I would have paid back my initial investment and been ahead by about $110. I just had it in my head that if I had gone with Google Drive, I would have paid $200 back in February, and then I’d be having to pay another $200 after the first year was over. In fact, I completely missed the point where I crossed into the black. I expected to save money, but I didn’t expect it to happen so soon!
#Seafile vs pro
If my memory is correct, I was using right around 3.2 TB. In February, I took inventory of my total storage requirements. How did I do?! /dDWCN3vExd- Pat Regan January 25, 2021 The Pi's case is affixed with 3M Dual Lock, and there some stickyback Velcro keeping the cables tidy. This is my little #RaspberryPi Seafile server with its 14 TB drive. I was rapidly approaching the storage limits of my hosting provider, and there was a huge chunk of my video data that I wasn’t syncing, because I didn’t have anywhere near enough space available. There were two problems sneaking up on me this year. I stopped colocating that server hardware in 2018, shut down my old Seafile server, and I wound up paying another company to use their Seafile service. I originally started hosting my own Seafile server back in 2013. That's just some of the things that have disappointed me over time, using it.Back in February, I decided it was time to go back to hosting my own cloud storage again.
But nowadays I would actually prefer Nextcloud, if the syncing wasn't worse than with Seafile.Īlso Seafile doesnt allow you to externally share edit links without having pro, and for me it never worked right anyway to use editing functionalities (it was not saving, for example). To be honest, in the beginning I didnt like owncloud (before Nextcloud existed) because it also was buggy and I didn't believe in PHP being a good thing for such a service. The sync cache on the client has a million files and their server side storage for the files is, well, not readable plainly, which I think is sad. Sync was better in the past when it used their own protocol on a TCP port but had http syncing as an additional optional. Now nf (which configured ALL ports in the past) can't configure it anymore. Once they just changed the listen port for the seahub server I think and changed where the config is. I've been using it for many years, but damn if they don't keep doing weird things.
I'm beginning to develop adversity to it nowadays. What Is SelfHosted, As it pertains to this subreddit? Also include hints and tips for less technical readers.
