Hello, I have a RaspPi 5 with HA OS installed. I am considering ditching MS OneDrive and hosting my cloud storage at home. I am considering a pair of terabtyte hard drives connected to the RaspPi and using rsync to mirror the contents of one drive to the other one. Is there an app (Samba) that I can use to make this possible? I’ll look into what I can run on my devices that does the same job as OneDrive saving and retrieving from this home storage.
Ok, thanks. A lot to read. Can I use my RaspPi running HA and two USB drives attached, or do I need a separate network attached mini PC (another RaspPi) to run Nextcloud?
The one I linked to is a Home Assistant add-on. You run it on Home Assistant.
It is available as a standalone install if you want to run it somewhere else.
Hi, as an option you could consider purchasing a 2-bay NAS with mirrored drives such as those available from Synology, QNAP, Ugreen and others. Not only would this provide a backup location for your HA instance but it would allow you to have additional NAS functionality such as providing: shared folders on your LAN, computer/phone backups, photo management etc. Alternatively you could consider subscribing to Nabu Casa which includes the ability for an off-site backup.

I’m using nextcloud on a Raspberry Pi CM4 board with two 1TB SSDs configured as a RAID1 array. It is a software array with mdadm.
For my document archive i’m using paperless-ngx on the same system. Everything is running as docker containers.
Do you back it up off-site?
