Hello,

A couple years ago, I had a running friendica node. After an upgrade, it stopped working. So, I stopped using it.
I am back to try again:)

I have 2 questions for the moment to get things going:
1 - Can I use the same domain and user name as my old friendica server as I did back then? I recall someone saying that their might be issues because the new server would not have the same "signature" or some identifying thing(a node number maybe>>). Is this true?
2 - I also recall that by default, that some kind of data is stored by a publicly visible location, and you need to point the data storage location to a folder outside the visible folder. I did that before. Is if still this way by default?
3 - Because the data was regularly changing(because it was inflowing message form the social media feeds), it tended to take up a lot of space. My old back ups of my system were 15GBs. I wan to move the data off my freindica server, and put it on my NAS. The idea was to redirect the folder location to a folder on my NAS. It is just a cable/switch/cable away, so it is a local server being used for it) Will this cause any issues for friendica? Will the delay between the friendica server and the NAS cause issues of their own?

Thanks for any and all assistance. I want to do this a better than last time:)
