Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times
You're viewing a single thread.
The very same reason why I gave up on Nextcloud. Too many nasty surprises.
Did you find a self-hosted solution?
I found a service that syncs our calendars self-hosted. That was the only thing that was missing. Can't remember the name, works flawlessly and without any problems for a number of years now. If you are interested, I'll look it up next weekend.
I want my docs and files on a self-hosted cloud (I can't seem to get sftp, ftp, or sharing to work on windows 11 even after adding the missing features) , with the ability to at least open the contents without downloading them. I want to stop using google for calendars and notes, and it would be handy to have a self-hosted bulletin board I and my added users could write on.
According to the box, nextcloud does all these things, except that it doesn't, without practically rewriting the code and somehow re-engineering linux to not be a fucking cunt.
When you are working locally, why don't you use Samba for storing and sharing of documents?
I've tried and tried. It just won't work. Maybe I need to get a different firewall program. I'm working in Pro, added the features, made the firewall exceptions, have my network setting as "private," I've done everything. The host will be visible on the network, but logins time out or fail altogether.
Since writing my rant, I found HFS, which, though an OLD program, was stupid stupid easy to set up.
I also found Filebrowser, and though the config was way more of an asspain than it should have been, it's fucking awesome. I've even moved on to trying to get HTTPS running for external connections using Win-Acme, but it isn't going well.
Please do! I had spent solid day researching open source CALDAV server/clients to replace Google calendar for my boss. Almost no options on that front.
I have used Baikal for caldav for the server, with davx5 on Android. Was solid. Moved to NC for files, so went ahead with calendar sync on NC too. NC calendar sync has already worked well for me, no hiccups.
The only issue I've had with NC is auto upload of photos from my phone. It constantly has conflicts. Otherwise sync of regular files works great.
