Hi guys,

Not sure if this is possible or how it might work but I am trying to get away from using commercial Cloud storage such as OneDrive and set up my own securely but as well as being convenient.

While I can connect to a vpn and then upload and download the files, that is a hassle that I do not want to deal with if possible. My idea is to get a VPS, install owncloud, and then install a VPN back into my network, and have the owncloud database stored locally on my machine but only be able to access the owncloud instance on the VPS so that I don't have to let anything through my own network etc.

​

The only problem I am seeing here is how to set the owncloud database locally and link it back to the instance on a VPS.

I did look into using zerotrust cloudflare tunnels, just not something I want to expose to cloudflare, as well as running it through NPM souly.

If anyone has any additional ideas or input on this, that would be greatly appreciated!

Hello fellow hosters!

I have been self hosting for a while now, and as much as I love the security of just using my VPN to log into all my services, it is getting quite cumbersome to do so constantly.

I was doing some research into the Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels and have set one up to mess around with and it is great. I love the ease of access, I set up the OTP 2fa (tried to hook up authentik to it but ultimately failed and didnt want to spend to much time on it if it choose not to go with this)

​

What it your guys opinions on using this system to access services like owncloud? I love my owncloud server and have found myself using it more frequently, but Im not sure if its worth it to run it through CF?
