Don't use Nextcloud. Just use Syncthing to keep the files synchronized in all the different devices where you actually do the work.

Is there something better than DAVx5? It seems to be too battery hungry compared to Google calendar.

Just came to say I self host baikal too for calendar and address book / tasks

use DavX on my Android phone to keep it in sync and thunderbird on the computer

It's the right choice, nextcloud is buggy af, the issue from years ago where it randomly corrupts files is still open too, I got hit by that one and had to completely restore from a backup.

IMO Joplin is a better idea for note taking

Went from nextcloud to FileBrowser for web files access, with resilio/syncthing under the hood for synchronisation. My family couldn’t be happier, but yeah - we are not using calendar futures.

Nextcloud is a large and complex application, it does need more resources than one would probably expect.

Nextcloud macOS and iOS apps make running it a no-brainer for me. Nextcloud on macOS works better than Google Drive.

I moved Nextcloud from k8s to a well provisioned lxc container and ran a couple of performance boosting commands and it's been working wonders since then

• Files --> syncthing, or ssh access, or vpn to samba
• Calendar --> I recommend radicale (but use google)
• Notes --> Obsidian notes on top of syncthing

Nextcloud was painfully slow on a cheap HDD based VPS, I finally moved it to SSD and it's been fast. With redis and SSD its quick. I'd take a look at your system to make sure that's not the cause.

I love the idea of nextcloud but it really seems pretty hostile towards hosters I would suggest looking at something like Cryptpad which is at least an upgrade to your personal security.

I've been a loyal owncloud and then nextcloud user but am growing disappointed in the nextcloud android app. It seems like support/development is quickly degrading. There's a file upload conflict big that was introduced in an update in September? and they still haven't rolled back or resolved the issue. https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/11974

u/Sudden_Cheetah7530 We also use Nextcloud and deploy it on Kubernetes with our Open Source Nextcloud Operator and it works without any issues so far. I hope that helps you too

Good ole manual file sharing and syncthing for my phone pics

Files: SYNCTHING CalcardDav: Baikal Notes: Obsidian with livesync plugin and a couchdb as backend ...yeah and webdav for folder shares inside apples files app

Files: Seafile
Calendar: Radicale
Notes: Joplin
Network Folder: N/A

I use pydio cells for file sharing.

I would say Seafile, and especially their webserver "seahub", which is written in Python and Django, is just pure garbage. I'm using Seafile since 2012, and I'm honestly so sick of its problems. It just crashes for no good reason, and the encryption is extremely mediocre (there's been issues about it). I have it behind my VPN so security isn't a big deal.

Because it's written with the garbage Python + Django, just try moving your installation to a new version... and you'll be stuck with a very specific version of a bunch of libraries or otherwise seahub won't even launch... and to make it even better, you don't get anything on stdout/stderr to tell you what's wrong, unless you launch Seahub in a specific configuration mode (WSAPI or something?).

Seafile has become so bad that I stopped caring about tracking its issues. I set my docker container to just restart on health checks' failure, and forgot about it. My status tracker shows that it's shutdown, and eventually it'll restart. "Hey look, Seafile is down." And I respond "That's OK, dear, just give it another 15 minutes and it'll restart". This is my status on Seafile.

I think Seahub needs a complete revamp.

Those guys coded Seafile like a decade ago and they don't care about fixing it anymore. Github is cluttered with issues.

i dont understand how some people have lots of issue with NC and some people say its all good

i have tried many times to switch to NC, It always slow (given that it running locally next to me, i expect it to be snappy) and throws me some error after somedays. I really wanted to use NC, so many things in one package

NC AIO has been good for me and support has been awesome. Seafuke is Chinese so I don’t trust it. At least NC is German and has some privacy stuff.

Filerun is good

I would have nothing but issues if I ran the docker app on unraid and used the sqlexpress built in. I switched over to CasaOS and use Mariasql and the nextcloud container on it and it has been solid.
