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.

What puts me off of Owncloud is the new ownership. I couldn't care less if it's written in the blood of Christ, if I have to worry about the rug getting pulled out from under me for self-hosting, it's a no-go for me, Joe.
Nextcloud works well for me and has for years. The people that don't like it can go use this, and we'll see you back in a couple of years when it goes open-core or worse.
Nextcloud needs to port over some of the old OC Documentation. Their own docs make all kinds of references and it's always something esoteric.
Ya it was bought by kiteworks which provides document management services for corps (which explains why that mention traceable file access in their features a lot).
~~That being said, they bought them in 2014 it seems and it's been a decade now~~ Correcting: they were bought very recently, they have been accepting corporate funding for more than a decade however. That's not bad in and of itself.
I have no issue with corporate funding. I have an issue when a company gets to make all the decisions. Lot of good software has gone to hell when the shareholders need profit now instead of seeing a long term vision.
We'll see, but I've been around this rodeo enough to just avoid it from the start and take some pain now instead of putting in effort that's going to be wasted later.
If it goes bad fork it. Just look at what is now the fossify apps
I mean... We already have a very well built fork.
