Comment on I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files?

Nextclouds docker setup is an absolute disaster, I don’t blame you for giving up.
A couple things to look at, I would probably say look at KaraDAV first.
KaraDAV, this is a simple webdav server that’s compatible with the Nextcloud sync clients. Uses SQLite for a DB so setup is super simple. Has a basic web based file browser too.
Owncloud Infinite Scale, still a bit of a setup, but it’s better than what Nextcloud offers.
Syncthing, this is my current setup, just a robust and solid file sync program. You can pair it up on your server with something like SFTPGo or KaraDAV to provide a web file manager and WebDAV server if you need that. Downside is there’s no selective sync or virtual folder support.

Now THAT is interesting - when I was last experimenting with Nextcloud I learned that the files part is just a webdav server. Unfortunately I also learned that they have a bit of a handshake before the webdav so the client wouldn’t work with my apache2 webdav server. Thanks!

That’s just Docker in a nutshell.

No it’s not, docker-compose stacks are quite nice and easy to manage.
