I have an Opnsense server running on a desktop. I would like to run a cloud server like Owcloud on the same desktop. Is this possible? are there any available plugins for open source cloud servers on Opnsense?
Please don't.
You could change the desktop to a VM host (proxmox, hyper-v or esxi just to name some of the options). Then you can install as many VMs as the hosts resources are sufficient.
One VM could be OPNsense and another could be OwnCloud/NextCloud.
Hmmm... I didn't know it was possible. Thanks! I will do my research now to find out more.
I want to be able to share multiple files with many people all across the Internet because it's a part of my job. And creating a server for this purpose might be a good decision. I use multiple services, including https://fastupload.io/en (https://fastupload.io/en), and they are fine, but I need to be faster. I need to send at least five files every minute. I am not a programmer but creating a server for this purpose seems one of the best solutions. I still have to buy the equipment, but the opportunity is good.
I installed xcp-ng, virtualized the OPNsense and Nextcloud instances. Nextcloud is running as a snap application on a lean Ubuntu server. Since the inter communication between OPNsense and Nextcloud never leaves the wire and is handled by xcp-ng between VMs I don't have any bottleneck ; get almost 2Gbps. Only constrained by my Wi-Fi when on LAN and my internet bandwidth when on the road.
