Do you have insight on having 'cloud drives' encrypted for different users? I wanted to have my own personal next cloud space for me, encrypted and backed up to a USB drive, but I also want one for my parents and family. I want these to be accessible via smb/natively as network drives.
Have an a quick eli5 or something you think I should look into?
it's the same as hosting your Google Drive, you juste have to create different user and it won't be shared between user, except if you share them...
for backups, I would suggest you look at eather Plugins or do your own rsync. If you go serious about this, donc forget the 3-2-1 Backup Strategy
To have access as network drive, theirs always the possibility to install it as a Desktop app. Or you could mount a network drive with Nextcloud and use it as an 'interface' to see the drive.
As for a guide... Google, YouTube is your friend...
Theirs those if you want to start
My personal advice, if you setup as a docker, use an external database and not the one provided within the docker, it might break when you'll update Nextcloud.
