I want to degoogle and this is one of the last steps. The free versions of other services provide too little storage so I was wondering if I can make a cloud using my raspberry pi

I set up SAMBA so that I don't have to keep a copy of the content on my computer. I also don't need an application. But, setting up the SAMBA server requires a few terminal commands and editing a text file.

Can you point me to resources for that?

i will probably go the seafile route, as it offers rclone compatibility. But I like to tinker with "bare metal" stuff.

Here are some absolutely minimal notes / instructions that I refer to myself. https://nuacht.flounder.online/gemlog/2022-07-12-samba.gmi

Beyond that I recommend searching based on your OS or distribution as the commands may differ ever so slightly on the installation.

That looks great. Like an easy temporary exchange share.

Thanks.
