We should actually use an opensource, decentralized and private alternative instead of relying on another centralized service

See Fileverse for example: https://fileverse.io/

Checked out the site on mobile, and it was unresponsive to any of my clicks.

[–] febra@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago

Well this software is more intended for administrative staff working for the government, so I don't think that decentralisation is their goal here.

Yeah agreed - anything not FOSS is just setting up another bad situation waiting to happen

[–] notastatist@feddit.org 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It says in one of the first paragraphs, that its open-source

What do folks think of cryptpad? ~~Thinking of~~ more like planning on switching from proton after CEO bullshit

[–] anon593839@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I personally really like Cryptpad. I haven't heard of Fileverse, so I'll check it out. Cryptpad is the closest thing I've found to a drop-in Google Suite replacement.

Just checked the part about self-hosting. While it's probably possible to handle things with a less heavy approach, their only "easy to use" example right now is to have a full-blown kubernetes cluster at hand or run locally in the source directory. That's a bit much.

In the README there's also instructions for Docker Compose, although it's quite the compose file, with SIXTEEN containers defined. Not something I'd want to self-host.
