I am running grapheneos and got nc from fdroid if it matters. I also use nc on my local network only.

So I could not find logs that pointed to any specific file giving the errors. Still I took the advice that it might have to do with file names. That made me suspect it had to do with my music folder which has some foreign music, so i renamed files with a special character. So far it seems that was it. This was odd because those files have been there and synced for a while, but the message was not happening until recently. Still wanted to update in case someone else has this issue there is some resolution that might be helpful.

So I couldn't really find what are the offending filenames, but they were from the music folder. I guess I didn't mention that that was the most recent folder I set as a two way sync. I get most of my music from yt-dl and naturally wanted to have it on both my laptop and phone. I since have discovered Power Ampache 2 . It is a music player and it can just stream and download your music on your Next Cloud. So far it works well and I have no more errors regarding filenames as I no longer need the Next Cloud app to do a two way sync.

This is the way! Slowly replace Nextcloud components with better things until you're no longer dependent on it

As someone who uses nextcloud exclusively for calDAV and cardDAV, what replacements are recommended?

+1 for radicale. It just sits there and works.

[–] paperd@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 months ago

https://github.com/tchapi/davis uses the same library as nextcloud (and basically every other Foss calendar app) and just tries to wrap an admin interface around it.

I'm not the right person to ask this question as these 2 are the only reason I haven't nuked Nextcloud yet. Looked at Radicale but shared calendars look like a nightmare to set up. But in the era of LLMs, I may just have one of them set it all up and migrate it for me.

What to use for Calendar and Contacts management?
Yes I know about Radicale, I'm talking desktop UI wise because fuck doing any substantial event organizing on a phone.

[–] RheumatoidArthritis@mander.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

I would like to know too, that's the last reason why i still have to host that forsaken piece of software.

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 1 points 9 months ago

I use Vivaldi's built in calendar as the UI to Radicale.

Just a suggestion

Depends on which functions of NC you're using.

Personally, I found thst no-one used the gallery, calendar or contacts apps in NC, so I replaced it all with radicale and syncthing.

But if you're using all the collaboration stuff, then you'll need to look into it a bit more.

For me, NC was way overkill, nightmare to maintain and an extra layer of software (ie vulnerabilities) exposed to the interwebs thst I didn't need

[–] RheumatoidArthritis@mander.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

I moved to Syncthing. Some people say Seafile is good.

What should I use if I just want dumb file storage that is accesible from any device (linux/windows/android) remotely? I'm already self hosting a media server if that matters

[–] RheumatoidArthritis@mander.xyz 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

If you don't need a web GUI, just WebDAV is a good protocol, nginx can serve files over it. SFTP is good too.

Here's a tutorial for WebDAV / Docker, it boils down to one command. No databases, performance issues, security nightmares.

This looks nice, thank you
