[QUOTE="SerialCart, post: 917276, member: 83401"] Yes sure, So it depends on how you would like the setup to be. First of all, NC has two parts: 1- The server (needs a Linux or Unix server) 2- The clients (which you install on your personal PC or your phone) [B]1- The server:[/B] NC is a PHP software which means it needs (preferably) to be installed on a Linux/UNIX server. For this you would have 4 options: [B]1-1-[/B] Get an internet with static IP, setup one of the supported Linux servers and install the NC server on this server: > If you are not familiar with Linux server administration this I would strongly recommend to stay away from this option. Another reason is that in general hosting a service like this at home would be a major security problem. We usually at home do not have hardware firewalls like Juniper and other security solutions which exist only in datacenters. [B]1-2-[/B] Get a shared hosting service and install it yourself. > In general it is not a good ideas as it might be against the terms of the shared hosting providers and it is not the best practice when it comes to security and privacy. 1-3- Get a Cloud/Bare-Metal server and install and manage NC. > This might be a reasonable solution it you know how to administrate the server and NC (updates and such). 1-4- Get a managed NC service. > This is the best solution and we are also outsourcing our NC service to our sister company. For a higher privacy and security we encrypt literally everything so basically even the datacenter would not be able to access your files (AES256). 2- Clients: They can be downloaded from this link: [URL='https://nextcloud.com/install/#install-clients']Install – Nextcloud[/URL] And to answer this questions: Do you need a PC running all day at home? As long as you would like your NC service to be up and running yes. [/QUOTE]
