Comment on Another update that no one asked for
trilobite@lemmy.ml 3 weeks agoI agree. In principle Nextcloud is a great idea and project but it has a lot of issues that make maintaining a pain. I had it for over 2 years and at every update it was painfull. I gave up and moved to Syncthing+Radicale. Is there something I miss? Yes, the ability to share as Syncthing doesn’t allow sharing.
Syncthing doesn’t allow sharing Like, between users? You can set up a shared folder with that user, although I know it’s not the same.
I’ve recently been made aware of Copyparty, which is a web GUI for serving files, with great access control, and the main dev reported people have been running it over a Syncthing-synced directory without any issues. Has an Android app too. I don’t have any need for sharing over HTTP right now, but if I did, that would be my go-to.
Documentation is impressive. I need to take a look. Thanks for sharing.
Copyparty is clearly labor of love, some UI choices are questionable, but the docs and the ease of setup are amazing

The trick is to wait several point releases before updating. This makes it much more stable.
