Help with xenforo

[silverboi]

Hi I was thinking I have a xenforo website but for the attachment upload system I was thinking of using my Nas is it possible?

What would be the benefit here besides a setup that needs constant attention?

Saving web server resource space for something else?

But I just asking if it possible if not then it's fine

There must be a way. I'll check around and see if there are any possibilities for this.

Otherwise, it is better to have some other service that is maybe more reliable for this kind of stuff. Or if you’d like to run a forum for a small community you can host the whole XenForo software on a NAS.

Thank you that would be great

This:

Well, considering you can mount NFS, you could just direct the internal data to the mounted folder...

Or, run something like Minio on your NAS and run it as a S3 Compatible endpoint for your forum.. however if you intend to do this out of your home, the performance is likely to be poor if your forum is hosted somewhere else in the world.

Agree with that, running it like this from home could be a performance issue. I wouldn't run it like this.

Imho reliable webhosting does not cost that much anymore and they offer you lots of storage, you leave the complete webhosting etc to that company and you only run the board; i would do it like that (i am doing it like that for about 22 years already)

Exactly, reliable web hosting is very important. Unless you're going to run a small home project and it's ok if occasional downtime or slowness occurs.

Well I just gonna run some business that just have ppl entering and purchasing user upgrades and maybe getting support in the forum

Then I wouldn't bother to have only attachments on NAS. Install XenForo on some reliable hosting and you're good.
