Hi All,

I am looking to migrate off G-drive to a self hosted solution.

I currently run Unraid (6 core mini PC with 64GB ram) with a few
dockers (mainly Tailscale + Immich to photo backups).

1. I currently have 3 TB of files on gDrive, which I would like to
move on Prem.
2. Secondly I also have a whole bunch of PST  (email archives) files
which I want to remove off my laptop to a more central place while
retaining the ability to search them in outlook client on my laptop.

​

I know of next cloud, but it seems a bit over kill for what I need, is
there any other more lightweight solutions out there ?

Keen to hear some recommendations.

Plenty of options when you simply search this sub and lool
k through the awesome-selfhosted list from the sub sidebar.

Any storage protocol like SMB, NFS, WebDAV or SFTP will work for
remote file access from any of your clients.

Not really a solution but also ensure that you have a proper backup
solution in place. Personally I would do backed up twice on prem and
one remote to ensure you have no data loss if something goes wrong.

I don't think next cloud is overkill. You can disable the vast
majority of apps that you don't need so the experience can be pretty
streamlined.
