How did you get kopia running on your server? Even on the kopia github they pretty much just say "use one of the other options like a S3/B2 bucket or one of the file transfer options".

Only local, without certificates for example doesn't even work to test and there is nearly no documentation on hosting it yourself (decent documentation with the rest)

It's running in Docker on my Debian server: https://kopia.io/docs/installation/#docker-images

One HDD in my NAS is dedicated to only have encrypted backup data that Kopia creates. The same Kopia deployment can't upload data to the cloud, so Kopia only makes local backups every night. Then Synology's cloudsync app is scheduled to send the backed up files to a Backblaze bucket online.

Ah so it isn't the kopia server receiving the backup, it is the client making a server backup to a dedicated drive? Not connecting to a different computer's kopia instance

Yup. That's it.
