In the evening when I got home I re-installed Nextcloud but this time I used the NextcloudPi package, rather than installing it myself. I tested sudo raspi-config and went to change the SSID. When I saw that I could do this I decided that it was safe for another experiment this morning.<\/p>\n<p>## Sudo Raspi Config<\/p>\n<p>Although it sounds like nothing having &#8220;sudo raspi-config&#8221; available is key to making a Pi install flexible enough to &#8220;travel&#8221; with. If you can play with the config from this interface all you need is a keyboard and a monitor and you can do what you need, with ease.<\/p>\n<p>The second part of the experiment, although only glimpsed at, just now, was to connect to the Pi remotely. It worked with ease. If you setup a Pi for yourself, or for someone else, that is in a remote location remote access is key. It means that you can take care of system updates, upgrades and more, without needing to go to a location in person. Remote access isn&#8217;t just limited to administrative tasks.<\/p>\n<p>## Remote Backup<\/p>\n<p>With a Nextcloud, Immich or Photoprism device you want to be able to access it remotely to update data from site A to site B, but also from a mobile phone while you&#8217;re at a caf\u00e9, or walking. If you can backup your photos while you&#8217;re driving back from a day&#8217;s hiking or cycling then you can afford for your phone to be lost, or smashed to pieces. If you&#8217;re climbing then that isn&#8217;t so far fetched. Having written this, don&#8217;t litter.<\/p>\n<p>## And Finally<\/p>\n<p>If you setup a Raspberry Pi with Nextcloud, Immich or Photoprism you can get the same functionality as you get from iCloud or Google Photos, but also as from a NAS from Synology, for a fraction of the price. You also gain the freedom to migrate Data from the cheapest cloud solution to the next on a whim, if you already have a local backup of your data. For years mine was trapped in the cloud and I only just released it from there and now I have more freedom to choose cloud services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Yesterday when I tried to migrate nextcloud between two locations I used one that I installed from scratch and when I got to another network I was unable to use it.
