You could run a WebDAV server, like Nextcloud.

On windows it supports thin sync (meaning that it keep a reference to the file instead of the whole file), on Linux not yet, as it is still in alpha (but you can just connect it as a remote disk and be done with it. That’s how I do with mines).

If you don’t want the whole Nextcloud, there are standalone cli WebDAV servers.


May be a bad usbc port on one end. My old Nokia 8.1 was known to have a bad usbc connector (mine was impacted), and I ended up switching smarphone because of that. Now I’m waiting for my new phone once again (Fairphone 5), at least this one is easier to repair 😅


Both Anker and Ugreen does good GAN chargers, but Anker is bad at doing good cables (2 of 3 usbc to usbc cable failed during the first year of use). I only had 1 cable from Ugreen, and I don’t use it often, so I can’t tell if they are good yet.

Other than that I don’t have much to say about small electronics, except maybe avoid Asus Laptops. Got 3 of them during my lifetime, all got pretty big problems, ranging from bad screens to dead touchpad and motherboards. They even forgot to connect the internal audio cable during the motherboard replacement, had to sent it back a second time 😅.


  • Server MB: Asrock Rack
  • Other server hardware: Silverstone
  • Peripherals: Steelseries
  • NAS HDDs: Seagate
  • NAS SSDs: Seagate (pcie4) or WD (pcie3)
  • SSDs: Sabrent, Samsung

Steelseries is a pretty good brand, especially in the premium headset side. Works well on Linux too.


  • My first TrueNAS homelab was based on an Athlon 3000G and 16GB of RAM. And I ran Nextcloud, Home Assistant, and multiple other services with globaly no ptoblem. Your configuration should be OK.
  • It’d be easier to stick to Truecharts. But I can’t tell for community plugins, never tried them.
  • Do not use that 1To SSD as boot drive, it won’t improve anything over the 250GB SSD. Use the later, maybe buy a second one to make it redundant. Then use the 1 TB SSD for an Apps pool, and the HDD as a single RaidZ2 array for all your important datas.
