Running opencloud - great nextcloud replacement - Byte Pursuits
bytepursuits.com
I’ve been running owncloud, then nextcloud for years. While it worked I was never very happy with it. Performance was always lackluster even for 1-2 users, features added are seemingly superfluous and was never something I wanted or cared about (groupware, AI assistant, talk features – don’t use, need or care).

    I’m starting to look at alternatives to NextCloud and ran across your post. I was curious if you were willing to answer a question about OpenCloud on Android, if possible. My primary use case for NextCloud is photo/video backup from my phone (Android). For a lot of years, I would take a photo and the NextCloud app would detect it and push to my server, without any manual intervention. This seems to be broke now and that may be a Google problem.

    I am one of those intrigued people with low level skills. Have circled the Nextcloud project but not yet jumped. Will hold a little longer to see what happens here, and keeping fingers crossed that a system emerges for people like me with fear of coding.
