Project case study
Personal Cloud Storage Platform
Turned a NAS into a dependable personal cloud for photo libraries, backups, and large project files, with tuned storage workflows, secure remote access, and multi-terabyte indexing.
Why it matters
Creative work falls apart quickly when storage is unreliable, inaccessible, or scattered across too many services. I wanted something that behaved like a personal cloud without giving up control over the underlying system.
This platform became the backbone for large photo libraries, working files, and backups that need to stay reachable from more than one machine.
What I changed
I customized a Go-based file browser deployment and wrapped it in a storage setup that behaves well with large directories and long-lived media archives.
- Docker volume mapping tuned for NAS-backed storage and predictable file access
- automated indexing and cleaner handling for multi-terabyte directories
- token-based authentication behind an Nginx reverse proxy with HTTPS
