Comment on What do I actually need?

Is owncloud or an alternative enough, or do I need something more elaborated like TrueNAS?
I run a Nextcloud for my family and then serve the same folders again via samba to the same users. Don’t need a separate NAS for this, just activate the samba service on the same machine.
Regarding the pirate ship, I don’t know. I haven’t tried that yet.

So uploads go via nc and samba distributes stuff back to the personal devices? Or what does samba actually do in this case?

Samba makes the same files available via another protocol. Sometimes you prefer a web browser interface, and sometimes you prefer the Windows explorer.

Ah, thanks for the clarification!
