It really depends on how much you enjoy to set things up for yourself and how much it hurts you to give up control over your data with managed solutions.

If you want to do it yourself, I recommend taking a look at ZFS and its RAIDZ configurations, snapshots and replication capabilities. It’s probably the most solid setup you will achieve, but possibly also a bit complicated to wrap your head around at first.

But there are a ton of options as beautifully represented by all the comments.

Thanks for the hint to pocketID, haven’t heard of it before. That makes me think it’s time to upgrade my auth stack as well.

That sounds awesome! No issues at all so far?

Thanks for the list! Do you use Pangolin yourself?
