Hey there. I have for the past year tried myself with some selfhosting of mainly a personal Nextcloud Instance. I also installed and used an RTSP-Server for Livestreaming, Traccar for Live-GPS sharing and Recording and a Paperless-NGX Server and Jellyfin. I use many of those Services daily.
Currently for my OS I am using Ubuntu 22.04, but I am not happy with my Setup. It’s difficult to setup, because I am not the most skilled in everything Linux and Serveradminstuff.
My Nextcloud Instance is just running without Docker, some Services run with Docker and some with Docker Compose. I try to use reverse Proxies but can’t get some things to work. (I use Nginx) (I ofcourse have a Domain as well with subdomains for everything)
So, my Question is: Is there a more Userfriendly and/or streamlined Approach or Server/OS that I could give a try and use? My Question goes not really in the Direction of which OS specifically, but maybe if there are Solutions to make it easier? I’ve read about Ansible-NAS, Unraid, Proxmox, Portainer, etc…
It is all currently running and mostly secure, but I just wish to make upkeep and stuff like that easier for myself.
For Nextcloud I would choose something which has snaps and here the Ubuntu is the original snaps one. I would do that because the snop for Nextcloud is amazing. I’ve been running it for a couple of years now and it updates itself always without any problems, it’s that good.
Especially if you’re not so skilled at administrating then Ubuntu is nice because all the how-to’s are written for it.
