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.

Eek, I'm moving towards nextcloud (and away from Google fast as possible). Is there a better all-in-one groupware + files + collab + office apps suite out there?
It does appear that nextcloud's devs are eyeballs deep in php tech debt, so their pace of development and integration has slowed.
It's so big that none of their FOSS components are going to be #1 on their own.
Recently upgraded the version and had to allow untested app versions (which had just disappeared) because they hadn't been updated yet. That's a weird problem and yeah, I don't really want to be beta tester everytime I try and open a document.
They also don't really have a nice docker compose based deployment yet.
But I couldn't be happier to be leaving google in the dust, so there's that.
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.
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.
