My biased opinion is that most people run Nextcloud on an underpowered platform, and/or they install and enable every possible addon. Many also skip some important configurations.

If you run NC on a bit more powerful machine, like a used USFF PC, with a good link to it, the experience is better than e.g. OneDrive.

Another thing is, people say “Nextcloud does too much”, but a default installation really doesn’t do much more than files. If you add every imaginable app, sure it slows down and gets buggy. Disable everything you don’t need, and the experience gets much better. You can disable even the built-in Photos app if you don’t need it.

Not saying NC is a speed daemon, but it really is OK. The desktop and mobile clients don’t get enough love, that’s true.

I’m talking about the “bare metal” installation or the community Apache/FPM container images. AIO seems to be a hot mess, and does just about everything a container shouldn’t be doing, but that’s just my opinion.

Eikö siitä ole väläytelty, että nettiyhteyksiin pitäisi lisätä kasettiveroa vastaava kustannus? Koska internetissä löytyy tekijänsuojattua materiaalia.

Käytännössä se kai ajaisi saman asian kuin suoraan laitteiden verotus.

Borgbackup in addition to git. Since there’s probably not much data, any cheap VPS could act as storage.

Hyvä pointti! Maksuvaihtoehtoja on tarkoitus kyllä lisätä, kun/jos käyttäjämäärä kasvaa, mutta korttimaksunvälittäjät on pikkusummilla aika kalliita. Toistaiseksi perinteinen lasku on kyllä vaikuttanut enemmänkin toivotulta, ei tarvitse miettiä mihin korttitietoja syöttää.

Sen verran korjaan väärinkäsitystä, että ensimmäisessä laskussa on 30pv maksuaikaa, joka on samalla ilmainen kokeilujakso. Seuraavissa sitten normaali 14pv.

Even though you said “isn’t Nextcloud”, I’d still say it’s perhaps the simplest solution.

You can disable most the other apps and set calendar as the landing page. If you don’t use the other features, the resource usage is very low, just a cron job that does basically nothing. I don’t think disabling the default apps has much effect on the footprint, by the way.

Calendar, contacts and notes are why I still self host nextcloud. Just remember to pay/donate to Davx5, they’re one of the projects that need to keep running!

In Finland synchronization in gearboxes is starting to become a thing nowadays. Double clutching for 20 years now (38).

Just kidding, got my first automatic two years ago, so yes.

There’s a base image of ublue, which is Silverblue without a DE. I’d suppose you can mostly just layer e.g. Sway or i3 on top.

Traditional package model will still have it’s usage, of course, I agree. But if Silverblue works for a developer like me, I’d say a for more “regular” users immutable distros seem like a very viable option.

I recently put the nvidia variant of ublue-os on my work laptop, which has Optimus graphics. Couldn’t be happier.

It’s great to see these variants popping up! I really think ostree may be the future for desktop Linux, and not even very far away.

Thank you!

I started using gestures, and haven’t been able to transition away since.

Both have their pros and cons.

Rsyslog to collect logs to a single server, then lnav for viewing them on that server is a good combo. Oldschool but very effective for self-host scale.

Glad the tip was useful!

For a bit enhanced log file viewing, you could use something like lnav, I think it’s packaged for most distributions.

Cockpit can be useful for journald, but personally I think GUI stuff is a bit clunky for logs.

Grep, awk and sed are powerful tools, even with only basic knowledge of them. Vim in readonly mode is actually quite effective for single files too.

For aggregating multiple servers’ logs good ol’ rsyslog is good, but not simple to set up. There are tutorials online.
