"Where do I put all these files?!"
Nextcloud is running, people are uploading documents and photos, the Kiwix library is growing — and your server's 128 GB SSD is almost full.
You need more storage. Options:
- External HDD — cheap, plug-and-play, good for a quick fix
- NAS (Network Attached Storage) — a dedicated storage device accessible from any machine on the network
- Multiple drives — RAID configurations for redundancy (so one disk dying doesn't mean losing everything)
Work in Progress
This section will discuss storage options for community networks, from simple USB drives to proper NAS setups.
