I live near Boston, which is not Texas,. Summer here tries its best to fake it. Room temps in the 80s with effective temps pushing 100 degrees at times. Without AC is very cruel to traditional Mini PCs. I can see such a rack as a center for my Raspberry Pis wearing only good active cooling. I see my Pi 4s as servers with Pi5 as a master node. Now the Pis are in individual cases. A proper rack would help organize them for 24/7 use. Mirrored drives would give me better data protection and central data storage service. I would also like to monitor my systems from a Pi node so I could shut stuff down before heat freezes it. Thanks for the video.

What software would you recommend for setting up the RAID 1 and creating a private cloud using Nextcloud? Could you provide a step-by-step guide or even a video tutorial on how to do this, including how to access the Nextcloud with RAID protection? My goal is to move away from Google Drive and Google Photos. Additionally, I'm interested in having multiple Raspberry Pi 5 devices in different locations for data redundancy. For example, one at my house, one at my parents', and another at my grandmother's. If one fails, I'll still have my data available on another device. Is it possible to create a RAID 1 configuration across multiple Raspberry Pi 5 devices? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
