Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've seen owncloud merge files together. Like, you open one file and see data from another file inside it. That to me was a dealbreaker.
Nextcloud is laggy and bloated, would not recommend
Good application but performance sucks
It's fine if you don't set it up on a dogshit slow rPi and use postgres/redis in the docker compose. Every time I see this comment, it's because of configuration errors or horrible hardware.
Man, use Sharepoint on anything under a dual Xeon and see true lag.
This is true, with a couple gigs of RAM and SATA storage Nextcloud is not at all bad. Assuming an instance with not that much simultaneous users.
It feels like slow sometimes, then after an hour with M365 at work it doesn't feel slow at all.
Is there a way to transition from MariaDB to Postgres? I used the mariadb / redis version of the docker-compose, but now I hear everyone says Postgres is better for performance?
Create your users in the new install, move each users files to the created folders from your old install, and use the OCC addfiles command to enumerate the new files into the new db.
There is a db migration command that I used to do the same thing, was pretty painless, just needed to run that and then update the config iirc
Thanks. Would occ files:scan work as well?
That's the one. I haven't used it for a while, sounds about right.
What you mean bloated? It is laggy in web browser, but using client apps solve that problem. It would be awesome if its more snappy, but I couldnt find anything better for my needs. What do you use?
Docker OnlyOffice HW requirements are a bit... Odd?
What, you don't have 6 cores and 12GB of RAM on your 2€/month VPS?
I have that on my RPi 50B! /s
We joke, but I actually have an 8-core Orange Pi with 16GB RAM and a 512GB NVMe SSD that performs really well running Debian/Gnome!

A server with 6 cores and 16GB of RAM costs like $14 per month.
Link please?

Your comment made me check that, and yeah, those requirements can be extreme for someone like me who look to use it for two pcs and a phone on a 6th gen intel nuc
I run the Community Edition of OnlyOffice documents server on my home server in Docker. My server has a Core i77 7700 and 32GB of RAM. And tons of other Docker containers. No issues.
Those specs seem likely to be extrapolated from the resource usage of their SaaS solution 😳
Wouldn't be surprised if it actually ended up needing that though, some game servers for example will happily chomp down 10GB+ of RAM with just two people online doing nothing
Or rather they want to discourage self-hosting in favour of their SaaS.
But the OO Document server will happily run with about 1gb RAM and small CPU use.
edit: ah this is about the full OO suite. Well most of that is written in bloated asp.net so no wonder.
Try Nextcloud. You might need to setup nextcloud office (collabora)
Some options on here that I wasn't even aware of! Nice!
You might also wanna check yunohost.org . It's a well organized self hosting platform where you can install with few clicks and has huge amount of Foss apps, including office and media ones and Nextcloud that others suggested.
or if you don´t want to host it yourself: https://qlick.cloud and use Nextcloud which comes with Collabora Online installed.
After a lot of searching (granted, years ago) I landed on
Nextcloud with only office.
Nextcloud is pretty awesome. Open source, well supported, new versions like once or twice a year, aetric shittonne of plugins, its awesome.
Onlyoffice feels a lot like Microsoft office, but is online open source, and allows multi user editing, which was always a bit of a pain point with colabora.
I adore Seafile and this looks like a great option. I haven't been able to get it going on my instance yet, but I'm still learning all of this self hosting and FOSS stuff.
I’m using Onlyoffice and it works really well. Although I use it with kDrive from Infomaniak, I’m almost sure you can run it on your own server.
In fact I managed to ditch Google for everything but I can’t find a good replacement for Google photos which I’m not using anymore.

Immich is trying to be that, but it's still in heavy development.
Also here a comparison of multiple ones: https://docs.librephotos.com/docs/user-guide/features/
Immich is working pretty well for me. Even the search does a decent job of recognizing the things in the pictures.
I'm not sure what Google photos has that Immich doesn't, and I've been using Google photos for years.
The mobile app sometimes gets stuck while updating new photos, or just doesn't run the upload in background even though it's activated. The web app looks and feels great though.
You do have to turn off battery saver for the background process. Phones tend to not like background processes. That would cause the behavior you're seeing.
Settings > Apps > App battery usage > Immich > Set to "unrestricted"
Also I have mine set to a ten minute delay, maybe that's why I haven't noticed. Maybe try adding a small delay to the load?
(Primarily I wanted a chance to delete photos before they uploaded.)
Thanks for the answer.
I remember looking at these but I think the fact that the pictures would be on my kDrive was also a problem.
Maybe with something like WebDAV it could work.
OnlyOffice?
Etherpad
I just use syncthing and set up the appropriate send /receive permissions for each folder
When I want to access those files remotely, I just sftp / ssh into the server. (Someone more knowledgeble than me can help you with that part, I just install Tailscale on my devices for remote ssh)
sure it may not be elegant, but is pretty easy to maintain in the long run (see complaints about updating / setting up nextcloud in this thread)
maybe this will help with setup. Note he is doing bidirectional sync, but one way sync works too:
