I (am to) have two servers (names are imaginary), where both are behind the same router:
- grumble is an old ARMv5 for backups as it sports two big HDD in a (LVM¹) RAID
- joy is a new ARMv7-A for serving web pages Nextcloud etc., but has only one HDD
What I plan to do is to store some larger files that I rarely need access to (backups of legally obtained games and music) on old grumble, but I would ideally like to have access to them through joy’s Nextcloud instance when I fancy searching and downloading it. Uploading I plan to do directly to grumble, most probably via scp
.
The options that I see are:
- SFTP
- FTP(S)
- native – e.g. using NFS on grumble and then mounting that on joy and then selecting the mountpoint in Nextcloud
What is the least silly option?
