  I actually like it, i’m using deck, cospend, share folders, manage some projects, send other people shares

  For me it feels perfect, I don’t need to manage different services and know them in depth

  Other people just need to create one account and we can do all the stuff by using our names, you know

  For me nextcloud “just works”

    I’m also loving Nextcloud for a simple way to do a bunch of simple things. Installing with AIO wasn’t so hard (though I plan to migrate to NixOS someday), and it introduces me to a bunch of things I can do (such as making links for shared folders with random people, no login required for them) without my having to learn a ton different specialised things.

    Most of what I want to do I feel in principle there should be a better way (e.g. syncthing plus a web-frontend file server) but there’s always a weak point somewhere.

    Especially that Nextcloud had decent apps for both Android and iPhone.

    True, it’s a bit slow, takes most of my low-budget VPS’s memory, and doesn’t always work the way I’d like etc. but it’s great for me for now.

      I’m already on nixos, so nextcloud is not a pain anymore

      I’m fully agree on all the points you mentioned

      I run nextcloud on a es i9 with so much ram I don’t remember how much exactly, 32 or 64

        I believe the future of selfhosted cloud is based on syncthing

        We need some more volunteers to run relays :-)
