Comment on Looking for recommendations for a multi home NAS solution
stuner@lemmy.world 2 months agoIf the data only needs to be read & written from a single server (and the others are just backups), you can also use simpler replication instead of synchthing. E.g. syncoid or TrueNAS replication. It sounds like you should be able to do that with separate datasets per household in your usecase.

We will likely read data from every location. That way people can access the data at full speed using WLAN

Read (only) access should be fine. What makes it complicated is if there can be writes from multiple locations. Basically, the simple version would be to just periodically copy the data from the primary to all secondary locations.

This will be for long term storage of files like family photos and document safe keeping, i.e. “let’s dump all our important files here so we don’t lose them”. Two people writing to the same file will practically never happen.
