For what it's worth, I think for people like me (who already use Syncthing and Tailscale), all the reasons the FAQ mention for why Nextcloud is really necessary (auth, file upload, etc.) are already covered, which is why I'd be so interested in something a little bit more lightweight.
(As an aside, I am not sure I agree on the "Nextcloud upgrades are seamless" part – every time I've had to upgrade a Nextcloud instance so far I was in for a world of pain.)
Anyway, I wish you tons of success with your project! :) It might be what will push some of my family members to leave Google Photos and/or Dropbox, and that would be a huge win already!
I agree. I used to use Nextcloud and upgrades were a mess. I missed one once and tried to upgrade and the whole thing went nuclear. The upgrade started and failed, breaking everything.
I found have read the note but how can a dev agree to have an upgrade started knowing it will fail and fuck up the db??. Thank you borg for the backup.
It is such a mess in their container that they could not agree on how to get the real IP being looked.
This is really crappy software.
Syncthing is fantastic and just works (right after you get your PhD in syncthingology because, man, it is complicated when you start)
