if you can do it in a VM or something i'd like a video on how to do that. i always thought u had to buy a server or something. ive never done anything like that and would like a video on how to learn different ways of doing things, as im currently using nextcloud on there free acct just to keep some photos and wallpapers as a 2ndary spot.

I've been using nextcloud for a few years now. The main drawback, besides the general slowness, are the incredibly primitive and bad desktop and mobile apps. The mobile one specifically is basically broken, downloading a file only has around a 20% chance of actually working and the indicator bars/notifications are useless or just not showing up.

I got it running on a zpool of 4 nvme devices, running in its own vm with 2 CPU cores and 16G ram. With redis installed it's basically greased lightning compared to most other cloudsolution that I've tried. I had a lot of problems with the docker versions so I just gave up on those. They work, sure...but vms are so much easier.

As a fairly superficial user, as you yourself sound like(!) what might be good is a guide to moving all the Onedrive/Whatevs syncing on phone and Linux laptop, across to Nextcloud. I think you can assume many/most of us have a spare laptop available to run whatever server software might be needed.

Nextcloud is really cool but I had too many issues using it. I couldn’t get AI photo recognition, or document editing to work. I have a giant folder of everything I ever wanted to store and wanted to add it to nextcloud, I would have to manually trigger a local file scan by terminal command inside the nextcloud docker container, wait 30mins and have it crash because it tried to scan a particular single file. And good luck whenever you need to do a major update

Isn't 'bad UI" the virus that plagues like 90% of open-source softwares ? I feel like "normalizing" a good out-of-the-box experience for open-source stuff would be a bigger game-changer that we can imagine, but at the same time I also feel like some problems, like bad UI, just cannot be change and will forever be on the flip side of the FOSS coin.

What are we comparing against? Modern UI stuff in Windows is pretty confusing. I'd rather have obvious settings exposed than have to google where some trendy UI developers thought it would be a good idea to hide stuff because they have some object oriented brain virus about how things should be changed :) Honestly, other than making things prettier which is easy, has Windows really improved their UI since 98 or XP?

Yes, please, do a tutorial on NextCloud installation! I have seen several videos praising NextCloud and saying how easy it is to use. With 25 years of working in the PC support industry, I've built up a large online collection of documents, spreadsheets, pictures, etc. All of which is spread across multiple sites. The main ones, as you might suspect, are MS OneDrive, Alphabet's Google Drive, and DropBox. Well, I'd love to get it all down off their servers and onto my own network. Since several videos used a Synology NAS box (and I've been using one for years) I thought it would be logical to follow one of the videos and build a little NextCloud box. One of them even bragged it was a "10 minute" job. How hard could it be? After several attempts and more than a week's work using different processes, I've found that it's easier said than done. Usually there's some snag where the response doesn't match what is expected and stops me cold. This, I assume, is because the installers are older versions. :( So, if you could show the process using the latest packages that'd be great.

One advantage of Nextcloud, assuming you run it on something like a Linode instance, is that it would be available outside of your network by default. Also, binding a custom domain name to a server (Nextcloud or otherwise) is easier if it's publicly accessible.

@SirSomnolent
@SirSomnolent 4 ай бұрын
As Matt mentioned https if you're using nginx only needs enabled and configured on nginx. Your browser hits nginx and it works as a proxy to your actual web server which can stay http or not. So generally, you can lookup how to create self signed certs for nginx and do that. It's just... a little complex for a home network and maybe sending a link to your buddy so you can share files

It strikes me as a little archaic. It's absolutely full featured and pretty slick but php and js with apache dependency for serving the files and all that... it's a lot for a somewhat technical user to deploy and more importantly rely on over time and be able to maintain. I'm interested in owncloud's rewrite in golang but I've not looked at either of them in any depth so I could be a little off base.

i set my nextcloud instance up for the same reason as you, i don’t need anything fancy but a way to view my markdown notes from my laptop. I am kinda disappointed honestly, first off the file app on ios cannot live view markdown and txt files for some reason, and the note app hasn’t been maintained for a long time, so things like markdown image and github style table don’t work at all, even though the web interface is fantastic and doesn’t have these problems. It seems to me open source developers don’t like to maintain ios app, at this point i don’t mind to pay extra bucks for that
