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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I managed to install and set up nextcloud snap on my ubuntu server a couple months ago. I haven't used it since and now I tried to log in to it but I forgot the username and password. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the snap to reset the data but i couldn't access the web page. I couldn't find anything online. Any suggestions?

This is a major reason to use simpler technology.

I can’t help you, but i had a similar experience with similar technology. I spent lots of time recovering content. I succeeded, but i have software development experience. I didn’t want a repeat of that.

In the end I picked windows file sharing for home networking and filebrowser for occasional access to data files from outside of home networking.

Web dav is a very good alternative. Apache web server will be easier, but nginx can be made to work.

Joplin is another good alternative, which is based on web dav.

You can pay around $2-$3 a month to shared services provider for hosted web dav.

FYI Nexctloud supports webdav.
