I just spun up a Nextcloud VM, and I’m trying to decide the best way to manage the data storage.

For context, I’m running it on proxmox and installed it with This script.

Ideally I’d like to keep most of my storage on my NAS. I’m trying to figure out if I should keep the data directory local and add a NAS NFS share as external storage, or just move the whole data directory to an NFS share.

How are you guys handling your Nextcloud storage?

    I meant the other side. If you use 200GB of your Proxmox, you don’t need to transfer it to the NAS. Which is the question here. I don’t do it, because it’s mostly calendars, contacts and like 10GB of data on Nextcloud, which I’m currently working on, or sharing with friends. And the “NAS” is sleeping most of the day. But if OP wants all their data stored on a NAS, they might very well configure Nextcloud to use NFS and do it that way.
