Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I never had any (major) problems with Nextcloud yet.
I just have following "conflicts" with it:
But, as I said, the ease of use and amount of features is still great. I don't want to spend three weekends just troubleshooting my server and searching for/ installing dozens of individial services. And for that, it's good enough.
Yes, and all of those things are fundamentally broken / poorly implemented.
I've had similar experiences with an overpowered AMD server. It isn't good at all, but how can I expect a thing written in PHP to be good at syncing files? PHP is good, but certainly not to handle files like NC has to do.
Fair enough, I just hope you don't have to spend a month trying to fix whatever is wrong with NC on the next update. For me Synching + FileBrowser + Samba seems to be straightforward to get going and is as reliable as it gets.
