So basically Since apple is now disabling advanced data protection for uk users what other options are there for similar iCloud like “backup” solutions on Unraid? I had thought about immich but that uses iCloud, Plex has pictures and video back up but I’m unsure if its secure and good enough in itself? I’m mainly after a good, secure picture and video backup solution for my iOS and iPadOS devices. Any ideas?

 

thanks 

For images and video from the phones, I use Nextcloud - just disable trashbin_retention_obligation and it will just move deleted stuff to the trash and store it there forever

The www-data user doesn't seem to have access rights in the datadir. 2025-02-27T20:42:53.208353317Z Most likely are the files located on a drive that does not follow linux permissions. 2025-02-27T20:42:53.208356622Z Please adjust the permissions like mentioned below. 2025-02-27T20:42:53.208359006Z The found permissions are: 2025-02-27T20:42:53.208361219Z 33:0 750 2025-02-27T20:42:53.208363239Z (userID:groupID permissions) 2025-02-27T20:42:53.208365273Z but they should be: 2025-02-27T20:42:53.208367286Z 33:0 750 2025-02-27T20:42:53.208369230Z (userID:groupID permissions)

 

with no idea how to fix it, what exactly does the trash bin retention do? and why would you want to disable it? (Never used nextcloud)

 

thanks

No idea about the error, but disabling the trash bin makes nextcloud hold on to the file if it's deleted on the device indefinitely instead of 30 days or whatever. It's not a true backup solution in the sense that it just mirrors the data on whatever device you're syncing - delete it on the device, it deletes it on nextcloud. Having the trash bin gives you the opportunity to un-delete it or store it there until you delete it yourself manually.

Oh, that’s interesting, I wasn’t aware that it would delete data if i delete it on device. Is there a way that i can back up the data on my iPhone etc and then remove it from the device storage and just keep the data in Nextcloud rather than iCloud?

Can't answer the icloud bit, but deleting it from device storage should move it to the trash in nextcloud - I've never actually seen it delete anything server side tho, not sure if there's a new sync setting but everything I delete on the phone stays in the correct folder on the server.

Okay thank you, will take a look now I’ve got it all set up. Just need more storage, as always!

 

thanks
