Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Take a look at NextCloud - very easy to host and has great user management and sharing.
There are also a good amount of apps that are one click integration if you need to expand on functionality.
Thanks! I already use NextCloud and quite like it! Hover, I find their file upload feature to be lacking for this use-case. Sadly, it crashes/freezes the browser when I try to upload a folder with a lot of files (which is the main thing I'll need to do with this)
If you’re doing the uploads yourself, the fastest solution for large files (e.g. compress into a tar/7z) will be rsync.
It requires minimal setup (ssh or vpn connection) and uses chunk transfer which is typically faster and can be resumed in event of connection failures
I love rsync, and also have been using croc a lot recently for similar stuff. It's not really feasible for non-technical users who don't even want to think about using a terminal though.
