Comment on Searching advice for selfhosting critical data

Good to know that most things I would need seem to be already working nicely in nextcloud :)
It should respect permissions though, so if you share a file with read access only, they won’t be able to edit it in the editor.
I’ll definitely have to try that before trying to send out links.

Sure! I always try this
A small downside: you can’t seem to restrict people commenting on a file you shared. There’s a built in “discuss about this file” feature but it shouldn’t really be a problem, unless you intend on sharing a file to a looot of people, because afaik you can’t moderate it
Yea, I recommend you always test features to see how they work and what they imply (and if they’re bugged, because Nextcloud often updates and sometimes breaks small things)

That’s okay. My circle of friends I’d share files with is not all too big. So everything stays between a few people anyway.
Does breaking stuff happen often? I plan to use the docker image nextcloud:stable-fpm in the hopes of bypassing some bugged releases.

In a span of a year, I had small visual bugs appear, drag and drop not working (have to manually click “upload from computer”). Easiest way to avoid them is to wait before switching to a new major release. So things regularly break, but they’re not essential and your data should always stay safe.
I don’t know the docker container you linked but if it does that, or if you wait a bit before updating, then you should mostly be fine

Thanks for the heads-up! Those sound like acceptable problems, as long as they’re temporary and my data is safe.
