Can you help me, giving advise?

Hi,
what exactly is your question now? Software installation depends on your needs and on the scenario you like to run.

For which reason you need a desktop?Desktops:
23 LXDE Ultra lightweight desktop
a web server sack will be installed along with NextCloud and PiHole. No need to select it separably. Just need to adjust your web server preference.Webserver Stacks:
? LEMP Webserver Nginx / MariaDB / PHP
do you need both?File Servers:
96 Samba Feature rich file server.
95 vsftpd Feature rich FTP file server
You are running Dropbear as SSH server only. If you like to use OpenSSH, change SSH server preference. If you like to use SCP only, it's enough to instrall OpenSSH client [0]SSH Server Choices:
105 OpenSSH Feature rich SSH server with SFTP/SCP support
only one can be selected, just change your log method preferenceLog System Choices:
101 Full Full logging system with Logrotate
102 Full Full logging system with Rsyslog

Re: DietPi NAS setup, advise wanted
Hi @Joulinar
I'm not familiar yet with DietPi, so I'm reading what to do best for setting up a NAS.
Desktop isn't needed for a headless server but seems easy to maintain with?
Is there a question regarding which Webserver stack has your preferences installing Nextcloud and Pi-hole?
File server, one is needed indeed, but what is prefered to use with MacOS and Windows10?
For SSH, just need a server I guess so I can connect to the NAS, which one is basicly installed by default?
Log system, I think Logrotate will prefer...
Do you have experiences with:
Anti-Virus ?
Firewall ?
Backup to a Synology system ?
Ubiquiti Unifi Controller ?
Monitoring Stack ?
Telegraf ?
Influxdb ?
77 Grafana ?
ACME.sh Let’sEncrypt SSL ?
DDNS updater (Gandi) ?
Or guides to it?

Re: DietPi NAS setup, advise wanted
usually there is no desktop needed on a headless system. Majority of applications can be managed via web gui or command lineDesktop isn't needed for a headless server but seems easy to maintain with?
It's fine to stay with default setting (lighttpd)Is there a question regarding which Webserver stack has your preferences installing Nextcloud and Pi-hole?
Samba should be fineFile server, one is needed indeed, but what is prefered to use with MacOS and Windows10?
default SSH server is Dropbear. It's already installed and working. No need to install another SSH serverFor SSH, just need a server I guess so I can connect to the NAS, which one is basicly installed by default?
Influxdb + Grafana are available on dietpi-software. You can use following guide for a full blown monitoring experience https://medium.com/@dorian599/iot-raspb ... 767c38c109Monitoring Stack ?
Telegraf ?
Influxdb ?
77 Grafana ?
you can use dietpi-letsencrypt to create your certificatesACME.sh Let’sEncrypt SSL ?
by default, DietPi supports NoIP. However you can use whatever DDNS you like. Just install it manuallyDDNS updater (Gandi) ?
I recommend to have a look into https://dietpi.com/docs/ for available software title and general options

This an example how it could looks like viewtopic.php?f=15&t=8612

Re: DietPi NAS setup, advise wanted
To setup a NAS (for my own needs as discussed before, but other can possible think and use the the same), I more selected the existing DietPi.com Docs into one Word document as a Setup NAS Howto / Manual and included extra information from external websites into that one document...
Better to review first before posting directly online @Joulinar
