I’m into selfhosting and Im looking for a way to centralize the Userhomes and have a better Backup of these files.
The idea is to use a virtual filesystem to sync needed data to the client PC and have Homed to encrypt userdata and store the data on server.
That way I do not have to backup the client PCs.
What do you think? And are there any working examples out there?


I tried homed once for a few workstations. Iirc I couldn’t make it work via network for multiple stations and multiple users. Something about the user creation process cam only be done once per home dir and then you can’t do another workstation.
How long ago was your test? I hope there is some development on these concepts. I like the idea of homed.
Six months?
