I was just talking about this with a friend since people around us seem to be dropping like flies. What happens to our personal servers and home labs when the worst happens?

I personally don’t care who sees what; compared to most I’m sure I’m vanilla af. 🤣 Enjoy my 20 year music collection, alive people? 😜

But it got me thinking: It would be great to have a self-hosted front end or something where on a login in screen (maybe at auth level like with Authelia), you had an “emergency” option where in we could predetermine what to immediately nuke, and what to either move to a shared cloud folder, offload to a local external drive, or just make available like local file hosting; something like that.

Does anything exist like this? If not, what ideas do you folks have in this regard, or what do you currently do? I feel like this could be a really useful service if done correctly.

    what to immediately nuke

    This scenario is the one that you have to approach differently than the others. The only way to approach with this scenario and be reasonable sure it’ll go the way you want, is to have the default state be inaccessible. i.e. everything that you want to be “nuked” has to be already in an encrypted state that only you are able to access. This way, the nuked state is the default state if you aren’t around to grant access.
