Haha it’s easy to overthink things sometimes. I’m guilty of that. I’m using SFTPGo at home to serve files from a small server.

Would this work? https://rclone.org/
I think it’s worth investigating. I took a look but I didn’t want to deal with the file chunking, and settled on something slow and simple in SFTPGO.
They do. I thought I’d mention it as some people don’t mind that aspect of it.
Seafile might be able to replace Drive.
Haha! When I first learned about SFTPGo it took me a while to not include a “2”!
I created another group and hit the same problem. I had to restart the docker container before it worked. Odd.
Ah thanks!! I hadn’t set the group home dir properly. I guess I don’t understand what that’s supposed to represent. I assumed it would include the group name somehow, but I set it to. /srv/sftpgo/data/%username% and it works.
Not quite. I’m trying to setup a group to let all users access the same folder. I created a folder called Family (I think it set its path to /Family. I’m away from the pc so I’ll grab it later). Then I created a group called Family and mounted the folder in it. But I wasn’t sure what paths to use for the group.
Also hosted on… GitHub! 😀
It would be 2 or 3 people max.
Thanks. I’m just curious how much bandwidth would be consumed by the self hosted server if all video traffic is routed through it. If the video traffic is p2p then the self hosted server would be cheaper to maintain.
The self hosted part would be for discovery.
Don’t make anything accessible via the internet if you’re new and starting out. The last thing you want is to accidentally leave a port open, leave an admin page with a default guessable password, or a piece of vulnerable software running and have someone gain access to your local network.
Start locally and learn the basics following the excellent advice of others here, and slowly build your knowledge until you understand the various moving and connecting pieces.
