If so, how was the overall experience? Looks like a much better alternative than completely relying on Google Drive and you can't beat the price (free!)

cool, what device did you set yours up on if i may ask? i have a raspberry pi and i've seen people set it up using that before but was wondering if i potentially needed a more powerful piece of hardware

I just saw nextcloudPi the other day, check it out!

I'm using old hw from pcs, and got a new big NAT HDD.

I've been using nextcloudPi for a couple of years. Setting it up is pretty easy and quick but it does tend to crash once every couple of months because of updates or messed up dependencies. I don't even bother fixing it most of the time and just do a quick reinstall.

Thats what i use. One thing to avoid is "DO NOT" update packages via apt otherwise your server stops working over php version mismatch.

Like people mentioned, nextcloudpi is probably your best option. I run a singe-node Kubernetes cluster on my Pi which hosts the production helm chart of nextcloud, letsencrypt and some other services but this is pretty overkill for you use case. Colleague of mine went the nextcloudpi route and in contrast to me, he never had any problems after upgrades. You need at least a Pi3 with 1 GB though, otherwise you'll need a lot of patience...
