Oracle recently changed their free VPS allowances, taking down my Nextcloud instance. I’m moving my file sync to a local machine but was wondering if anyone had any experience with alternatives, as Nextcloud AIO was a major pain in the ass to set up last time.
I used it for sharing WIP music projects so having a web interface where I can listen to audio files from a browser was really convenient. It seems however, that all apps offering this feature are just as heavy as NC.
I tried installing cloudreve, but the web media player seems borked on firefox.
Does anyone know any good alternatives, preferably ones which can run off a single docker compose file?
Instead of installing a massive all in one solution, why not install individual services specifically to cover your requirements? Navidrome for music consumption, synching to actually sync files, WebDAV and OnlyOffice for office docs, VLC, Kodi or jellyfin for video consumption, immich for photos, etc.
It will end up being much lighter and more specialised
Once I got comfortable with immich, I realized photos was my main use of nextcloud and immich was so much better. I replaced the rest of nextcloud’s functionality with syncthing+filebrowser quantum. Haven’t looked back since. Now I don’t have to worry about a nextcloud update randomly causing havoc (user error likely).
This is the way. You also end up with easier debugging due to it being more constrained to specialized services.
