I recognize this will vary depending on how much you self-host, so I’m curious about the range of experiences from the few self-hosted things to the many self-hosted things.
Also how might you compare it to other maintenance of your other online systems (e.g. personal computer/phone/etc.)?
After my Nextcloud server just killed itself from an update and I ditched that junk software, nearly zero maintenance.
I have
And I have never used any of those … it just runs and keeps running.
I am selfhosting
I need to setup some file sharing thing (Nextcloud replacement) but I am not sure what. My usecase is mainly 1) Archiving junk 2) syncing files between three devices 3) streaming my music collection
I moved form next cloud to seafile. The file sync is so much better than next cloud and own cloud.
It has a normal windows client and also a mount type client (seadrive) which is also amazing for large libraries.
I have mine setup with oAuth via Authentik and it works super well.
I actually moved from seafile to nextcloud, because when I have two PCs running simultaneously it would constantly have sync errors and required manually resolving them all the time. Sadly nextcloud wasn’t really better. But I am now looking for solutions that can avoid file conflicts with two simultaneous clients.
Are you changing the same files at the same time?
I have multiple computers syncing into the same library all the time without issue.
Rarely. But there is some offline laptop use compounded with slow sync times. (I was running it on a raspi with external usb hdd enclosure)
Either way, I’d like something less fragile. I’ll test seafile again sometime, thanks.
