I want to make my own personal, private cloud. And I am too dumb

Build a proper NAS. ECC ram, server grade motherboard, HDD's rated to be working 24/7. Do not cheese this if you value your data.

?personal, private cloud
literally what is that

If you're talking about accessing your internal network from wherever I would just set up a raspberry pi with OpenVPN and then connect in whenever you want access to your files.

Like the gentleman above said, if you're building a NAS then make sure you splash out a bit on hardware.

If you want a full on private cloud (NAS, VMs) then I would buy myself some 2nd hand server grade hardware with some local disks installed, install a hypervisor (such as XenServer) and run your VMs off there, you could just run your NAS as a VM as well.

I have an orange pi with a 2tb hdd as "nas/cloud", can access to it from anywhere by using the pi as a vpn server, it just werks.

OP here, that is literally what I want.

Then get a pi and do it, it's easy.

I chose the OrangePi as SBC because gigabit ethernet, doesn't have a weak as shit cpu like the raspberry and isn't endorsed by literal homo sjw cucks

Nextcloud if you can take like 8 hours on some weekend to set it up is pretty fucking boss. Pretty much totally replaced my Google dependency with one swoop thanks to the plugins they have. Highly underrated

This is set up on a NAS?

Next cloud looks pretty comfy
