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?
Syncthing or Nextcloud. There’s a bunch of Linux sync software: https://awesome-selfhosted.net/tags/file-transfer--synchronization.html
Traditionally, you’d just put it on a NFS volume and be done with it. Or make it a boring plain old independent laptop with nightly backups configured, if your users always work from the same machine and don’t like… switch to a different computer in the middle of a task.
