I agree. I’m this case it works out for me since I’m under the 3 user limit.

I chimed in on the vote for Seafile on this thread. But I think it’s worth trying NextcloudPi image to see if that does what you want. I’ve been presently surprised by how well it works compared to my experience with the AIO image.
Came to say the same. Unlike Syncthing, it all syncs to the server and only downloads to your various devices when you want it to. Vital for my small SSD on MacBook Pro. Syncthing can do similar but requires individually selecting files and folders to ignore, which I did not want to do.
What’s crazy is that I tried NC on my server, which is a HP Microserver G8 hosting 13 total services. And it ran like crap. Tried the standard and AIO versions. On a whim tried NextcloudPi on a Pi4 and it has been awesome! Web interface is still pretty sluggish but I use apps that sync to NC most of the time like:
So far it’s been flawless. I doubt it would run well with more than a few users though.
You can get a free Seafile Pro license if you create an account with them. Limited to 3 users, iirc. That’s what I’ve been running and really using it to keep stuff on phone, desktop, and laptop reachable from any of the devices. I love it.
I’m using Netguard. You can block specific apps without requiring root access.
Sticking with Nova with network access denied for the time being. Also turned off updates in the Play Store. I’m still open to new ones, but apparently I’m very picky when it comes to launchers.
What a garbage take. Use what you want, homie.
Seafile is great. So fast, and unlike a bunch of these options, won’t sync everything to each node. Everything is reachable from each device with a client, but only downloads what you want from the server. If Syncthing could do that without needing to do a bunch of “ignore” manipulation, I’d switch. But for my needs, Seafile is where it’s at.
Cryptpad has a very capable Kanban in it. No mobile apps yet, but I understand that is on the road map.
I’ve heard good things. I will admit I don’t like hiding features that I would consider to be essential behind a paywall. But I may have to give it another try.
Damn, that’s a great price. Who is your VPS provider so I can keep an eye out for similar deals?
I’d love to try it out but only self-hosted. And so far I can’t get it spun up. To be clear, I’m sure that’s a me problem. That said, the instructions are pretty spartan and a few commands to run and “that’s it. you can now create an account and login!” but that doesn’t work for me.
I currently have Immich running and it’s good. But I’ve had two updates break my install, requiring hours of work to get it back to working reliably. They have a disclaimer that this can happen and isn’t ready for production yet, so I don’t fault them for that. I’m just on the hunt for something more reliable. Ente seems like it’s been around a good while. I just need to figure out what I’m doing wrong. The S3 backend is a pretty great feature, imo.
Sure seems like that is the only way, doesn’t it? I just looked my original purchase up. I paid $0.99 for Nova Prime in 2015 and have used it across multiple phones since then. It’s such (or was) a good launcher. The best, imo. Stupid venture capitalists ruining all the things.
I haven’t. I will try it out, thanks!
Ok, I like this idea. Handn’t thought of doing a single library we all log into. That certainly could make things easier since I already have the server up and running.
Actually I’m not sure. I will investigate for sure though!
Hmm, I’ll have to look into the external library. I must not have paid attention to that as an option or at least didn’t understand it if I did read about it.
Syncthing would be great, but since my siblings are all out of state, I’d have to walk them through configuring it on their computers and I’ll be honest, I still struggle with adding new peers and folders with that app. That’s a “me” problem, and I’m willing to admit it. But I can look into other file upload options out in the Self Host world.
I’ve been using Duplicacy and like it. Everything backs up to my server via Seafile (files) and Immich (photos). Then Duplicacy has a couple of B2 buckets it backs everything up to. Seems to work pretty well so far.
I’ve tried numerous terminal based backups like restic and Borg, but my newb brain still needs a GUI I guess. I’ve seen various UIs for those last 2 but haven’t tried them yet.
