Comment on Guidance for Noob? (Synching vs Nextcloud, Immich, Tailscale)

Tailscale is great. You should use it. Most of their code is open-source. Their coordination server is closed-source, however there’s a self-hostable open-source reimplemention called Headscale if you want a fully-open-source Tailscale stack.

Immich doesn’t rely on Tailscale; you can use any VPN. They don’t recommend exposing it to the public internet at the moment though, which is why you’d use a VPN.

For the drives, I’d recommend ZFS instead of Ext4 or NTFS. ZFS can detect corruption using checksum, which neither Ext4 nor NTFS can do. NTFS also isn’t recommended unless you’re running Windows Server.
