I’m thinking seriously about getting Google out of my life, and trying NextCloud.
Looking to get a personal account through a managed provider.
Does anyone have any experience with it?
How does it compare to ownCloud?
Any hosts I should look at or avoid?
Any apps I should get for it, or avoid?
Any issues I should be aware of before I switch?
@ajsadauskas @asklemmy I have been using Nextcloud on a cheap Australian VPS for a few months now. It is far from a perfect solution, it is slow, the quality of it’s apps are… mixed, BUT, I prefer it over the big tech solutions I used to use by far.
If you do want to go down this route, I recommend getting a cheapo VPS (4 GB of ram will do the job) or setup an old laptop or PC as a home server, then chuck the Nextcloud AIO docker image on it. It handles everything for you and makes life easy.
