nullpotential, in Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times

The simple fix is to not use nextcloud

TBi,

What’s the alternative?

Open media vault on pi4 is shitting the bed constantly

My wonderful MongoDB powered, old as fuck mFi vm. It’s running on Ubuntu 14 because that’s the last supported version and Ubiquiti abandoned this shit decades ago. It’s set to restore and reboot once a month. That usually keeps shit working lol

possiblylinux127,

Please tell me you don’t connect that to the internet

Bakkoda, (edited )

Haha fuck no.

EDIT: I kind of wish i had said yes just to spice things up.

I like to imagine it being pickled like Ozzy or Keith Richards.

It is fine, but then again I update it often too late which is actually pretty bad. The problem is Nextcloud pushes new features and a high frequency schedule of releases with those at an alarming rate of speed. Perhaps for corporate environments it is not as big of a deal as a professional team can fix obscure bugs with their knowledge and experience on their mirrored test servers, but home users don’t have these resources available and public community knowledge and bug fixes need time which that release schedule hinders.

I still wouldn’t say it is bad by default, simply because somehow it runs pretty stable for me since a decade. Updates are a pain though with many breaking changes and little bugs.

Thats unfortunate.

I had a vm (windows) on proxmox that was crashing ~5-10 times a week. Turned out to be a graphics settings that was killing it.

Yep. Got such a service as well. I’ve got this one docker container that’s supposed to connect to a VPN and provide access from the outside to another one. The bitch keeps just crashing to a point where even “restart policy: always” will give up on it. Doesn’t matter too much usually, since I can start the container before I need it, and it will usually run for half a day or so, yet still

Bad stories about nextcloud scare me 😂 I hope Im not gonna jinx myself, but my nextcloud runs super stable for almost a year. I get some errors while updating, but service doesnt stop working and its usually simple fix by following the message it shows.

I removed apps that I dont use (most of them) and web ui became super fast on my budget server

Actually all services are so smooth and almost no issues, maybe beginner luck 😉

Invidious. It got so bad that I just gave up and switched to piped which has been… well, not perfect, but definitely far more consistent.

Paperless often randomly stops accepting new documents. I have to wait several hours or restart it.

My Nextcloud has been flawless. The only issue I’ve had was NFS permissions. I have automatic update setup for docker so it stays up to date.

Care to share what broke?

Haha, in Started to move off Google (not strictly self-hosted)

The one thing i use google is youtube and gmail. Idk how to move away from that…

YouTube:

  • LibreTube
  • GrayJay

Gmail:

  • Proton

EZPZ what else ya got?

TooLazyDidntName,

Mailbox.org > proton. Fite me

helenslunch,

Never heard of it.

lemmyvore,

Proton is in the process of removing their PC bridge in favor of a custom app. After they’re done you won’t be able to migrate your email away from their service anymore.

Which is ironic, when people are trying to flee from Google. Out of the fire and into the frying pan…

cjf,

That’s a bold claim. Got a source for this move?

lemmyvore,

They’ve announced they’re trialing the custom app currently, after which they’ll discontinue the IMAP/SMTP bridge.

cjf,

I’ve just skimmed through the proton blog briefly and I couldn’t see anything referencing this. Do you have a link by chance?

lemmyvore,

It’s in restricted beta currently, only available to a small category of users, and still lacking features. They say it will launch early 2024 but it looks more like mid-year to me (at best).

Point is, it won’t happen very soon, but it will happen

cjf,

Thanks,

So they haven’t made an announcement about retiring the proton bridge app yet.

I think I’ll wait until I see them actually remove it before I believe they’re locking us in.

kzhe,

For YouTube, it’s probably not possible to not use its content, but you can try alternate front ends like Piped (and its wonderful Android client, LibreTube, if you’re on Android.)

For Gmail, not sure if this works for you but I set the vacation feature to reply to every email I receive notifying them of my new email. I switched to Vivaldi Webmail (Proton doesn’t let you use 3rd party clients w/o a subscription plan btw, I’d switched to Vivaldi first so not a major thing for me) but Skiff (paid) looks good, Kagi Search is planning an email service, Tutanota has an email service, and I guess you could self host. While you transition, use a client that lets you have a unified inbox (K9 works on Android) and just have both logged in.

Haha,

The only thing i have done so far is use imap into thunderbird…. All this is valuable. I want to use a self hosted solution but at the moment its all a surface level thought. Thanks a lot for this comment!!

Not using Nextcloud. Found it a bit difficult to deploy and maintain than OwnCloud. Since then, I haven‘t had any problems with OwnCloud.

Gooey0210, in Nextcloud Performance Improvements

Since i started using nixos i don’t have any problems with nextcloud 🙃

johntash,

I only recently started using nix and NixOS. How’s the update process for nextcloud? Can you use the self updater?

Gooey0210,

In nixos you almost never use any “self” thing

You update everything with your whole system at once

Even the installed apps, the true nixos way to install them is through the configuration file

johntash,

That makes sense, it does sound better to keep it within nixos! I’ve mostly been using nixos to bootstrap servers that run nomad+docker, so beyond the system-level config, I haven’t done a lot with additional software yet.

Gooey0210, in Linode Alternative Suggestions for Small Projects

Hetzner is more affordable, but few locations

But they can ban you on registration too, happened to me and i was angry 😂

ricecake, in Help with NGINX? so close...

So, you’re going to run into some difficulties because a lot of what you’re dealing with is, I think, specific to casaOS, which makes it harder to know what’s actually happening.

The way you’ve phrased the question makes it seem like you’re following a more conventional path.

It sounds like maybe you’ve configured your public traffic to route to the nginx proxy manager interface instead of to nginx itself.
Instead of having your router send traffic on 80/443 to 81, try having it send the traffic to 80/443, which should be being listened to by nginx.

Systems that promise to manage everything for you are great for getting started fast, but they have the unfortunate side effect of making it so you don’t actually know what it’s doing, or what you have running to manage everything. It can make asking for help a lot harder.
