Looks like an opportunity to "rewrite it in Rust"
Given the heavy php nature, absolutely. I have only just started using it (and hence wanted to check what others in HN were using it for). Seems like the personal use case for file syncing is difficult; I'm more interested in self-hosting Kanban and other things I don't want to pay yet-another-SaaS a per-user-per-month for the small business tax. Setting up NextCloud with an IdP wasn't too bad, a little weird on Goog…

I've run Nextcloud for almost 3 years now via docker on a vps , it hosts my contacts, calendars and files. There is a apache reverse proxy in front of it, and a postgresql-database in the back. Not once had I any serious issues updating when pulling new updated images. Occasionally it whines about missing indices, but that is easily fixed using the occ command line tool. The clients real IP is forwarded by the proxy.…
What do you do to make performance not suck? Have been using it for years, but it just sucks in terms of showing me my pictures. Also, what do iOS people do to make their auto upload folders upload automatically without having to open the app?
So i decided to switch to dedicated services, instead of using nextcloud to handle everything.
For images i can recommend Immich which is a new open source project specializing in storing your images with local AI support. I can highly recommend it.
In case some people don't know using NextCloud + floccus = great bookmark sync (I self hosting it but setup one on a cheap cloud VM is also fine) Not using NextCloud for anything else yet though
Thanks! I didn't know about that. There is some under documented good little tools that can sync between devices, browsers and Nextcloud : - Qownnotes for notes, selecting text from web pages and bookmarking (I'm curently testing it). - Someone told me that Zotero can do that too. - Vdirsyncer for synchronizing calendars and addressbook between NC and uncompatible apps (Odoo mainly).
I originally wanted to do this but the CVE history is a bit too colorful for something I’d want to trust as a “cloud replacement”: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=nextcloud A common misconception IMO is that running and owning your own infrastructure is somehow more secure. To that I lol, and I’m confident that the thousands of AWS/GCP/Azure/iCloud security engineers are all doing a more thorough job…
Like sure, someone particularly interested in your home nextcloud instance could probably find their way in eventually.
But if you are concerned more about dropbox killing your account due to nonpayment, cloud backups getting encrypted and the master key being lost, cloud engineers snooping on your files, cloud platforms targeting ads based on your downloaded files etc etc etc it offers an alternative.
I've been using Nextcloud for some years now. Overall it's an ok replacement for Google Cloud. But for some time now their focus has been on developing features for business collaboration as opposed to personal & family ones. For example, their photo library is quite limited. There's Memories app for Nextcluod, but it isn't much better. I'm in the process of migrating to Immich. Nextcluod notes app on Android has bee…
As a self hosting afficionado, I feel like the perfect Google photo replacement doesn't exist yet. I have a synology nas and I use the synology photos app for auto uploading without loss of quality to my nas. Don't forget any picture or videos, deduplicate, figure out what you can safely delete from my phone,... All of that works great and is reliable. The synology photos app to watch your photos though, isn't very g…
I still miss editing mostly, but it’s on the roadmap.

> The sync client on desktop said it was fully synced. Only 200GB of 800GB was on the machine. Did you read the manual? It is recommended for such size to do the first sync using rsync (or similar) followed by the CLI command to build the files database.
A service that manages data cannot fail on such things. Nextcloud could refuse this first sync and point to solutions but losing data just "because the manual says rsync" is not acceptable

I would like to switch to Immich, but it is still unclear to me whether my existing directory structure will be preserved or not. In the beginning, Immich used his own structure, which is a no go for any photographer.
Immich supports customizing the folder structure[1] or using an external directory[2]. [1]: https://immich.app/docs/administration/storage-template [2]: https://immich.app/docs/features/libraries

But that's only a half-baked one-way functionality, since the set of variables for the template are minimal. Immich can't intake my existing folder structure, or am I wrong?

What about Piwigo ? They have a mobile client in F-Droid. I've not used it myself, but a friend is happy hosting his own photo gallery with it.
