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.

Nextcloud is awesome, you should definitely still use it. It's really big and has its issues when upgrading, but it's still one of—if not the—best for file sync and share.
Easy Docker solutions:
My two cents: try it yourself but don't start using their app store until you've gotten a better feel for things. They have some great app store apps, but it makes you dependent on Nextcloud.
But compared to Google and not owning your data? It's SO much better, not that it's really a fair comparison.
Sorry your experience has been so bad. I'm using the LinuxServer.io version. I've had to run some OCC commands when upgrading and it's sometimes slow, but for me it syncs my files and does version control + sharing well.
I've never used it but it always seems to me like they're trying to be an everything app.
That's kinda their schtick though. They've been that way since before they split off from Owncloud.
You can either be good at a few things or mediocre at a lot of things. For convenience I'm sure it's great, but I wonder about the quality and sustainability of it all.
