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.

Sure it is... especially when you start to have tons of JavaScript erros in your browser console :D Now seriously, have a look at this: https://lemmy.world/comment/346174
Eh, every page has a bunch of Javascript errors and logs. That's normal. So far it hasn't impacted my usage at all and I've got 450GB gigabytes stored in a Nextcloud instance that's lasted 4-years and migrated between 3 separate machines.
Ahaha. The current state of software development and what people accept as normal is just mind-boggling. And no, it's not "normal" nor "ok", it slows down things and the UI sometimes crashes with more data.
I take it you've never seen the amount of crap that gets put into
journalctlthen. I've never encountered a Nextcloud crash with the amount of data I have. It could have been a deployment issue on your end. My docker containers have been running fine.I tired bare metal and docker, it’s shit and I’m not the only one complaining so I’ll assume you’ve been lucky so far. Either way you can’t deny that the UI is a piece of crap and my “personal favorite” is the webmail UI that can’t even WYSIWYG properly.
It's been 4 years, that's one hell of a lucky streak. Eh, the UI is fine, way better than syncthing's anyways and its client has working partial sync. I get that you have hate for Nextcloud, but personally I am not about the mess of disparate tools in your post just to get something equivalent to Nextcloud tbh. To each their own.
Well partial sync is the only thing you can say that is an advantage... but frankly you can emulate with in Syncthing with exclusion patterns. I "hate" Nextcloud because it eventually failed in all deploys I made with it. They don't even get right a simple WYSIWYG editor. As I said before I re-try Nextcloud from time to time, and I would love very much to see it succeed and replace all the other tools I use, but it doesn't deliver on the promise. At least not for the numbers of users I have.
What logic does it have to advertise your solution as an alternative to MS365 / Google Workplace if they can't even deliver a properly working and useful webmail? The WYSIWYG is broken, you can't resize the window to make it bigger and some other annoying details. And then there are always constant complaints of others about losing all data on upgrades (I haven't experienced this but still).
