# Personal-Cloud-Storage
## Overview
This project aims to create a personal cloud storage server for a firm, solving issues such as accessing important files after hours and preventing data loss due to corrupted or multiple drives.
## Problem Statement
The firm faced the following challenges:
- **Accessing Files After Hours**: Employees needed to retrieve important files from office computers after office hours or late at night.
- **Data Loss**: Files were occasionally lost due to drive corruption or issues with multiple drives.
## Solution
The solution involves setting up a personal cloud storage server with the following steps:
1. **Initial Setup**:
- Used an old PC from the office.
- Installed Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS.
- Set up Nextcloud for file storage and management.
- Installed MariaDB as the database server.
- Configured Apache or Nginx as the web server.
2. **Enabling Remote Access**:
- Initially, the server was only accessible within the local network.
- The ISP provided a dynamic IP, and the router/modem did not support port forwarding.
- Used Cloudflare Tunnel to enable external access without requiring VPN or similar services.
3. **Optimization and Improvements**:
- **Docker Integration**:
- Transitioned to using Docker for containerization.
- Implemented Docker Compose to manage Nextcloud, Cloudflare, MySQL, and the web server.
- **Enhanced Server Management**:
- Switched to TrueNAS for a user-friendly GUI.
- Configured TrueNAS to be accessible outside the local network using Cloudflare Tunnel, allowing remote server management.
## Results
This project successfully provided the firm with:
- A reliable personal cloud storage solution.
- Remote access and management capabilities.
- Improved server performance and management.
## Future Enhancements
Potential future improvements include further performance optimization and exploring additional features in TrueNAS.
