build your own cloud

Now you can deploy and run your own hyper-secure file sharing platform, by downloading FileCloud’s Community Edition. Visit ntck.co/filecloud and download FileCloud Community Edition as a self-hosted solution, on your Windows or Linux servers or preferred IaaS provider (AWS, Azure). (no code required) In this video, NetworkChuck will walk you through how to create your own cloud, either at home, on-prem or in the cloud! NetworkChuck demos the setup of FileCloud and Nextcloud, two excellent dropbox, google drive and microsoft one drive replacements. These are great options for both personal and business.

next video: build your own internet from scratch

Your ability to explain things in a relaxing and fun way makes IT look less intimidating. I feel like a kid playing a video game, watching a guide on how to beat the level rather than watching a 'Death by Powerpoint' presentation. Thank you fellow systems administrator!

I get it that you are pushing FileCloud because they are your sponsor, but what you missed to mention about the Community Edition of FileCloud is that, the free license is only valid for one year. After your one-year license is expired, I would guess that you need to pay? If so, what you are doing is called deceptive advertising.

I am on IT for 20 years and your way to explain things are very simple..

I also used to be a self-taught programmer before I launched my own software development company. It's cool that today we can watch such videos for education purposes in Youtube! 👍

Great, but Nextcloud needs it's own video to do it justice. I've never heard of Filecloud before so that's good to know!

You are the best! I started seeing your videos when I was starting in IT as a HelpDesk. Now I am working as a Cloud Engineer and before as a sysadmin. You teached me a lot and the best is that you make the curiosity grows for all the technologies you show in your videos. Greetings from Argentina!

Minor change, always apply minimal permission with AWS IAM. For the EC2 instance's role: vs S3:* for resources, actually just give it the bucket name. You might need to do two resources, one bucket name, the other bucket name/*. This will limit access to only that bucket which is best practice for security 😉.

I’ll be honest, I watched this all the way to the end attentively. It was very interesting, yet I’m not quite sure what I learnt but I did learn something I’m sure. I have a Synology NAS and I guess that’s my personal Cloud. I guess if I needed another cloud, I can remember Fileshare and probably just remember to come back and rewatch this video as it was amazing.

idk how you and your editor do it but you both make this long and drawn-out process actually entertaining to watch and learn. Thank you so much lol keep up the great content <3

Perfect timing, Chuck! I set up my own proxmox server and now I can host this!

Omg chuck! You never fail to amaze me with your knowledge and with your teaching ability. You have been the backbone of my education in IT and in cybersecurity. Thank you for all your content. You should have your own networking and cybersecurity boot camp! I am going to attempt to try this setup myself. You inspire me to keep reaching and growing!

I am so glad I came across this video! I was just considering building a laravel app from scratch for managing my files and getting away from Google drive. This is so much better, and looks like it does most of what I was planning on doing. But, being self-hosted, maybe I can get into the app source (if it is not obfuscated) and add whatever is missing. So awesome.

No idea how your channel got on my feed, but your videos are so clear and concise with a little bit of Dad humor it is awesome, thank you very much and keep it up.

Thank you so much! Since 2 weeks Im contemplating on switching from dropbox to self-hosted alternatives and this video sealed the deal!

Just to add - as I checked the Community Edition, license if FREE for 1 year only. Thanks for this awesome video Chuck!

I know this is a few months old but THANK YOU!!! Got this set up on prem with ubuntu flawlessly!

Nice range of options. Another on-prem solution is using a NAS. Synology especially offer a range that is insanely powerful, you can go with a small unit for SOHO all the way up to rack mount units for serious hosting, they offer a suite of apps to support your own cloud, and smaller boxes are very energy efficient which old spare hardware won't be. It is a nice inbetween of having complete control of your data, with the availability and reliability of commercial solutions like OneDrive, including hardware support and every feature (if your unit hardware supports it) is free forever. They can run VMs, websites, network services like DNS and DHCP, CCTV NVR, Docker, media center, and so much more.

This is an excellent introduction to self-hosting your data and owning things, but I think mentioning the risks is important. At least about backing up those data especially if you're self-hosting. Most people who see this video are likely to know about 3-2-1 backup but there will be some people that do this for the first time. If you can do a walk-through of FileCould would be amazing. I use NextCloud but its slow at times and FileCloud looks like a good replacement option.
