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.

Good enough general suggestion. The Nextcloud app for phones is still awful though, it fails to show contents of large folders/won't update their contents to this day (this issue is years old), which is particular relevant for photo and video backups. Also, video playback in the browser is limited as there is no automatic transcoding and not all browsers like all video codecs.
Edit: Just to clarify, I'm running Nextcloud myself and it's not always too friendly to the "look, you don't have to use Google for everything!"-attitude I like to show towards friends and family.
true, that's why i'm probably switching to Immich for that, even with caching enabled Nextcloud is more useful for storing than to go and look to old photos. It's just slow to load the content, could be that my network is already really slow by itself tho.
I would say it's more an acceptable solution than a real alternative for now.
I really like Nextcloud, but I really think it's not (or not only) your network. ;)
