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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

After months of waiting, I finally got myself an instance with Libre Cloud. I was expecting basic file storage with a few goodies but boy, this is soooo much more. I am amaze by how complete this is!!! Apps let me configure my instance to fit everything I need, my workflow is now crazy fast and I can finally say goodbye to gdrive, gsuite, trello, calendar, etc. All of this, with 1tb while not giving any of ma data to some evil business for... 10$ cad a month!? Can't believe this is not what every organisation are using.

Yes, it is very good. It's great to use perpetually half made software.

If you don’t like bugs, you shouldn’t be using software. Especially not software designed to do more than one thing. And extra especially not software designed to run on more than one system.

But maybe a Casio watch would be fine for you. Mine hasn’t had any bugs.

The point is that every single feature they try to add to it ends up as yet another buggy thing that never gets fixed. They should focus on making the core things works decently instead of adding new features. After all this time they didn’t get the sync to be as reliable as Syncthing, why would they venture into webmail’s and whatnot ?

Webmail has been a Nextcloud feature for years. They improved it. That’s literally what you just asked for. Improving the core components.

They improved it? You can’t even add a bullet list. No way to have a full screen typing experience. It’s slow like no other and basic formatting tools are already hidden. Is that what you call improvements?

I understand that everyone doesn't always have a perfect experience but I've been using the same instance of nextcloud for over 8 years I just keep upgrading and migrating. It just works. Only issues I've had is when Debian withholds updating php for too long or when they finally do all the config files for php get fucked and I have to redo them all.

I hear ya but my instance is old (before i knew docker) and just works on the rails. I also tweak the heck out of it for performance so I deal with the annoyance once every two years. If it completely blows up I might roll it on docker.
