Self-hosted file, photo and personal-data services using local storage with controlled external access.
The private-cloud project centers on running services such as Nextcloud and Immich on storage owned and managed inside the homelab while still making those services convenient to reach remotely.
Keep primary data under local control while maintaining convenient, secure remote access and well-defined storage boundaries.
Primary data remains stored on local infrastructure.
Application data is organized into distinct datasets for permissions, performance tuning and recovery.
File synchronization, sharing and personal cloud applications.
Self-hosted photo and video management backed by dedicated storage datasets.
Purpose-built datasets separate uploads, libraries, databases, backups, thumbnails and encoded media.
Remote access is exposed through controlled edge and tunnel infrastructure rather than raw port forwarding.
