Seafile is the only good enough thing i've found so far for self-hosted file sync. But it is still a pain to upgrade the server version. nextCloud and friends is a complete disaster in my oppinion.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I tried to install nextcloud once, and it was an exercise in misery.
If you just need a web interface to your filesystem, there’s this single Go executable ( https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser ) that supports sharing and minimal user management.

+1 have deployed thousands of instances of filebrowser without any issues, hidden behind an oauth-proxy.

If it really isn't useful, which I imagine means you committed somewhat haphazardly, ok, of course. If there might be some usefulness hidden there (for example, trying something and then reverting it shows that you did explore it), it's also possible to place the old stuff in another repository or another branch (better the latter, unless it increases the repository's size too much)
> for example, trying something and then reverting it shows that you did explore it True, those things tend to go into the documentation itself, checked into the codebase itself instead of being somewhat hidden inside the git history. Usually I end up having both a "Open Problems" (things yet to solve) and a "Tried X, this is why it didn't work" section somewhere in the documentation. > it's also possible to place th…
That's good, and yes, if that repository history really wouldn't add anything it's fine to squash everything

Ok, I meant a public repository though
Give syncthing a go.

> nextCloud and friends is a complete disaster in my oppinion. Why is that? Have been using NextCloud in our company and for myself, and I couldn't be happier, no issues since 3 years, all the tools and plugins I need, sync running perfect and hassle-free and performant. I thought it's generally liked up until now - I didn't try any of the alternatives though, so they might indeed be better. Though I don't have any r…
Theres a lot of weird setup often required on the backend in my experience, but when it works, it works well. But until you get everything dialed in it can have weird issues that don't have a clear path to fix them. It might be better in their weird AIO solution? But i dont like the idea of giving a docker container the ability to spawn more containers. I just use one of their normal docker containers and have had to…
And while community is great, I don't think Nextcloud developer community is that big and active. Their plugin system is basic, archaic, lots of things there are begging for rework.
So while Nextcloud is decent once set up, I am happy to see some fresh OSS projects solving similar issues appear. Maybe their approach will be better.
Zero percent chance I will ever trust my critical data to a mongo-backed service, personally. With clients some of them have already made this bad decision; with my own personal files I get to avoid it.

Using Nextcloud on the web feels like a state of the art 2015 PHP web UI. It is... fine. But compare it to immich for example and they're just not playing in the same league imo
I use a cron job to back up Nextcloud to B2 and S3 Glacier.
A bit off-topic, but is there a way I can convince various apps (Viber, WhatsApp) to use some replacement instead of Google Drive for backup? They do not offer such an option, but maybe by rooting the phone and faking the interface, or ...?
On Android isn't it "just" a share-targrt? You can make a PWA that's a share-target pretty easy.
