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

I've had pretty good experience with Nextcloud's instant upload. The only time I've had it shit the bed was ages ago when it would occasionally get stuck on a conflict, but that hasn't happened in a long time. Pretty much all of my image folders (camera/DCIM, Screenshots, Downloads) get synced. The only annoying thing was when apps would suddenly change where they download to and I'd have to reconfigure yet another sync folder, but I can't really fault NC for that.
Mine is set to upload and keep a local copy and only do a one way sync (phone to NC). Not sure if that causes less issues than a 2 way sync or deleting the local copy after upload?
I like it as well, but it has a tendency to just stop working every few months for some reason. Everything appears to be in order, the folder sync is active, but it just doesn't automatically upload anymore. It only starts working if I tell it to sync to a different folder instead. It is good otherwise though.
Weird. Other than how it used to choke when there were conflicts (and all uploads stopped until that was fixed) I haven't had any issues like that. Guess I'm just lucky.
