If you don’t want to wait, Owncloud Infinite Scale is basically ready right now, and Opencloud is unlikely to be more than a rebranded fork in the beginning anyway. So should be good for testing the principle right now.

Don’t underestimate the power draw of multiple monitors.

But while you’re at it: simply turn off different devices on the same power strip and check what actually draws how much.

Think about implementing this pretty early, if your plan is to use it for your own services ( which I’d assume).

You mean available up/download speeds? In which format did you store your data? Which data fields did you record?

“Micro” still means a 1.5m diameter.

As I have basically all devices connected to my Nextcloud instance, I simply use that. I don’t have any “time-critical” file transfers though.

That sounds like a job for… a spreadsheet.

There are other options available, especially if you just want file sharing. Pydio Cells, Owncloud Infinite Scale, a custom WebDAV setup, etc.

What are your main goals? Do you want all data on all machines, or all files on a central server and only sync what you want?

How did you set up Syncthing on your laptop?

Works well for me, although with Docker. The labeling can be a bit non-intuitive at first, but it’s really solid.

Also, I simply love autodiscovery.
