Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I agree. In principle Nextcloud is a great idea and project but it has a lot of issues that make maintaining a pain. I had it for over 2 years and at every update it was painfull. I gave up and moved to Syncthing+Radicale. Is there something I miss? Yes, the ability to share as Syncthing doesn't allow sharing.
The trick is to wait several point releases before updating. This makes it much more stable.
I've recently been made aware of Copyparty, which is a web GUI for serving files, with great access control, and the main dev reported people have been running it over a Syncthing-synced directory without any issues. Has an Android app too. I don't have any need for sharing over HTTP right now, but if I did, that would be my go-to.
Documentation is impressive. I need to take a look. Thanks for sharing.
Copyparty is clearly labor of love, some UI choices are questionable, but the docs and the ease of setup are amazing
