A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

With the official app no longer updated (i don't trust the forks), i'm looking for alternatives for 2 way sync between my Android phone and my Linux server. I've tried nextcloud a long time ago and the experience was very bad. Are there any new tools that i can use?

How is the file sync integration? Even some of the commercial products have shocking implementations.

Does it support shadow copies of files?

@Nighed Sorry, but I currently don't use Opencloud and I don't have insights in the code.

But maybe the code itself has an answer for your question.

the answer is yes! https://docs.opencloud.eu/docs/admin/welcome/features#files-on-demand

may try to give it a spin later this year

Didn't nextcloud fork from that because reasons?

edit to add: no, that was ownCloud. You are in a twisty maze of project names, all different.

@mjr I think, you are writing about Owncloud.

Opencloud is newly written with Go, so it can't be a fork of PHP driven Owncloud or Nextcloud.
