I want to degoogle and this is one of the last steps. The free versions of other services provide too little storage so I was wondering if I can make a cloud using my raspberry pi
Nextcloud
This is what I run, but I run it on my media center which is real full workstation hardware since it runs media center stuff, plus all of my home server stuff. Nice thing about next cloud is you can use it to sync contacts, calendars, todos, Joplin, as well as just the box type storage application.

I would vote for syncthing as it can have better support if you need syncing across work firewalls. Also allows device-to-device sync, not just server-device. It’s a cool federated solution (like lemmy!).
I set up SAMBA so that I don’t have to keep a copy of the content on my computer. I also don’t need an application. But, setting up the SAMBA server requires a few terminal commands and editing a text file.
Can you point me to resources for that?
i will probably go the seafile route, as it offers rclone compatibility. But I like to tinker with “bare metal” stuff.
Here are some absolutely minimal notes / instructions that I refer to myself. https://nuacht.flounder.online/gemlog/2022-07-12-samba.gmi
Beyond that I recommend searching based on your OS or distribution as the commands may differ ever so slightly on the installation.
