I think buying a larger drive would indeed be the safest option.

If you're looking for just filesharing capabilities, OwnCloud might be a good alternative. It's recently been rewritten in Go and its supposedly quite fast. I must say that I haven't used it myself.

Another alternative could be Nextcloud, but that comes with a whole suite of other software such as calendar, contacts, ...

I've also heard some good things about seafile, but never used it myself either.

Drive setup advice (lemmy.world)

Hello selfhosted lemmy community!

I've been running the following setup for a while now but my backup drive is running out of space.

2x 4TB drives in a zfs mirror
1x 1TB backup drive
1x 256GB boot ssd

The zfs pool is rsynced to the backup drive nightly which is then uploaded to blackblaze.

As I'm using more than 1 TB in the zfs pool, it can't be backed up anymore. I'm looking for some advice on how to reuse the same drives in a better configuration.

My current idea is to get rid of the zfs pool, use one of the 4TB drives as the main drive and one as the backup one. The 1TB drive will then not be used anymore.

Appreciate any advice or feedback!
