Yeah, it was mostly to try to relieve her phone storage of all the screen shots she takes and doesn't want to get rid of. She takes a ton of photos and we don't want to keep paying for an iCloud sub if we have the means to do it ourselves.

    Ok yeah thanks a bunch! And yeah it is pretty silly. I host game servers for the friends and sometimes they dont have linux runners and they dont play nicely in bottles or wine so I have to have a windows VM for those. I try my hardest to stay away from that platform.

    I'll have to go give this a shot.

    Hey everyone! I'm pretty glad to have come across Lemmy haha. I was going to start looking into doing some self hosting stuff on Reddit and a lot of people seemed a bit... Opinionated. That said, I have an old base M1 Mac Mini that has been sitting in my closet for a while, and while I do have a simple proxmox setup in my own house for a couple small things, I was considering a fun side project to try to host something for my mom in her house. My main question is has anyone actually tried doing any self hosting stuff on a 8GB model of a Mac Mini with M1? It seems that Asahi linux supports it pretty well, but its all ARM. I have basically no experience with ARM on linux, especially not on a box made by apple. I have very light experience with a Pi 5 but outside of that not much.

    Is there anything inherently wrong with Nextcloud? I have been running it for years for some simple file backup stuff and never really thought twice about it. I was going to be trying to backing up all my iCloud photos and cancelling that plan so I'm glad I stumbled into this chat haha.
