I have a VPS for web hosting, but not enough storage for my Nextcloud needs. As mentioned by others, Hetzners Storage Box [1] has great value. I hooked up the latter to the former using Nextclouds External Storage and it works flawlessly. You could even think about running Nextcloud locally on a RaspPi and using this method to hook up cloud storage.

- JamesAdir 4y agoHetzner are great but you can't encrypt Hetzner Storage boxes. How do you keep your setup secured?
- V__ 4y agoMost of my files are private but not sensitive, so I basically just trust them for those. A few sensitive files, which don't fit on the encrypted VPS, are encrypted classically using Veracrypt. I hope Nextcloud will support encrypting externally in the future, but for my use case it's not a big deal.
- JamesAdir 4y agoThanks for the answer. So you've created a VeraCrypt file on your nextcloud folders?
- V__ 4y agoYes, it gets synched just like any other file inside my Nextcloud. However, if you have to often change the data inside, it might not be a suitable solution, since the file has to be uploaded as a whole. If it's a big container, it might be cumbersome to upload a few gig each time you make a small change.
- KennyBlanken 4y agoNextcloud supports e2ee with a variety of controls, specifically for object storage on an untrusted host.
- JamesAdir 4y agoThe keys are stored in the a folder on the server. I don't think it's good enough.
