Data infrastructure
The workstation uses complementary storage systems rather than treating sync, version control, and backup as interchangeable.
| Area | Default location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Git repositories | ~/repos |
Source code, documentation, text-based projects, and versioned configuration. |
| Nextcloud folders | ~/Nextcloud |
Synced documents, PDFs, media, and shared project folders. |
| Local workstation data | ~/workstation |
Local working data that is not managed through Git or Nextcloud. |
| HDD backup | External HDD | Versioned encrypted backup of local workstation data through Vorta/Borg. |
Read the service-specific pages before deciding where data belongs:
- HDD/Borg: Recoverable, versioned copies of local data.
- GitHub: Remote collaboration and version history for Git repositories.
- Nextcloud: File synchronization for documents and shared folders.
