Thanks, this is very useful to know

What Nextcloud document service setup would you recommend? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Myself and my family will be using it to replace Microsoft/Google products

Excel, Google docs, word, pdf etc.

OnlyOffice claim to be Open Source https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE Is that just a deception? and their core code is closed source?

If that's the case I'm likely going with NextCloud Office, one of the reasons I'm hosting nextcloud etc. is to move away from proprietary software and to OpenSource

Decentralization Scoring System (v1.3) in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Why is there a "Top Provider Content Share" metric if its gonna score the same as the "Top Provider User Share" every time ?

As said in the footer, this is a work in progress, I'm posting it to get input and still refining sources

Why is the Top Provider Content Share not higher than the user share ? For instance, emails usually have at least one sender and one recipient, making it twice as likely that at least one of them is using gmail. If an email has 10 recipients across 10 different providers, each provider has a copy of the data

I'd love to get better data on this, I've looked but not yet found better data than what I included in the source

Why is ease of hosting a mail server rated so well ? How is "leveraging email hosting services" decentralized in any way ?

Here I'm a bit in two minds, sure it's difficult to SELF host email, but in practice it isn't because there are hundreds (Thousands?) of hosting options to choose from where you can choose your own domain etc. for the low price of basically-free

Why are we using a random repo created a few hours ago by a random github user as a reference ?

It's my repo, it's to keep track of the versions and so that others can copy, edit and share it if they like.

What Nextcloud document service setup would you recommend? (lemm.ee)
 

I have nextcloud AIO running, and I see there is ONLYOFFICE Nextcloud Office Libre Office Markdown Editor etc.

Lots to choose from and many combinations possible, What setup are your running and what would your recommend?

That's fascinating, Hopefully we can eventually get such a thorough breakdown of the decentralization of online services.

🧮 Decentralization Scoring System (v1.3)

This scoring system evaluates how decentralized and self-hostable a platform is, based on four core metrics.

📊 Scoring Metrics (Total: 100 Points)

Metric Weight Description
Top Provider User Share 30 Measures how many users are on the largest instance. Full points if <20%; 0 if >80%.
Top Provider Content Share 30 Measures how much content is hosted by the largest instance. Full points if <20%; 0 if >80%.
Ease of Self-Hosting: Server 20 Technical ease of running your own backend. Full points for simple setup with good docs.
Ease of Self-Hosting: User Interface 20 Availability and usability of clients. Full points for accessible, FOSS, multi-platform clients.

How Scores are Calculated

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 How User/Content Share Scores Work

This measures how many users are on the largest provider (or instance).

  • No provider > 20%: If no provider has more than 20%, it gets full 30 points.
  • Between 20% and 80%: Anything in between is scored on a linear scale.
  • > 80%: If a provider has more than 80%, it gets 0 points.

📊 Formula:

Score = 30 × (1 - (TopProviderShare - 20) / 60)
…but only if TopProviderShare is between 20% and 80%.
If below 20%, full 30. If above 80%, zero.

📌 Example:

If one provider has 40% of all users:
→ Score = 30 × (1 - (40 - 20) / 60) = 30 × (1 - 0.43) = 17.1 points

🖥️ How Ease of Self-Hosting Scores Work

These scores measure how easy it is for individuals or communities to run their own servers or use clients.

This looks at how technically easy it is to run your own backend (e.g., email server, Mastodon server) or User Interface (e.g., web-interface or mobile-app)

  • Very Easy: One-command or setup wizard, great documentation → 18–20 points
  • Moderate: Docker or manual setup, some config, active community support → 13–17 points
  • Hard: Complex setup, needs regular updates or custom config, poor documentation → 6–12 points
  • Very Hard or Proprietary: Little to no self-hosting support, undocumented → 0–5 points

Yea most services are basically fully controlled by one entity and score like less than 10.

So 50+ is really good, I think currently Email is the gold standard. Services should strive to be as decentralised as Email

Yea I made a mistake with that, I corrected it in v1.1

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago (3 children)

In version 1.1 I uploaded Email, it now has a score of 90

The source I used before was wildly inaccurate.

I think above 50 id acceptable, but that's open for discussion.

Lemmy & Mastodon loses a lot of points due to one instance having ~40% of the users and content.

It's motivation for us to make sure everyone doesn't just end up on lemmy.world

How Scores are Calculated

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 How User/Content Share Scores Work

This measures how many users are on the largest provider (or instance).

  • 100% (one provider): If one provider has all the users, it gets 0 points.
  • No provider > 10%: If no provider has more than 10%, it gets full 30 points.
  • Between 10% and 80%: Anything in between is scored on a linear scale.
  • > 80%: If a provider has more than 80%, it gets 0 points.

📊 Formula:

Score = 30 × (1 - (TopProviderShare - 10%) / 70%)
…but only if TopProviderShare is between 10% and 80%.
If below 10%, full 30. If above 80%, zero.

📌 Example:

If one provider has 40% of all users:
→ Score = 30 × (1 - (40 - 10) / 70) = 30 × (1 - 0.43) = 17.1 points

I'm new to selfhosting, I've installed Turnkey nextcloud on my proxmox server, and done the basic setup, now I'm faced with this.

Any advice?

What's your Immich setup and backups like? (Advise needed) (lemm.ee)

I recently setup a immich server on a mini PC, and can access it through cloudflare etc.

It works pretty smoothly except for files bigger than 100mb (cloudflare limitation)

I have a few questions, if you can answer some please do.

  1. What's your setup like? Do you have any tips/tricks for a newbie I should know about?
  2. What's your backups like? Is your data safe if your house burns down?
  3. Is there a cloudflare alternative I can use that will handle any file size from anywhere in the world without needing to tun on/off a vpn like tailscale?

(i would like to also set it up for my family, but for that is needs to work VERY smoothly, no needing to turn on and off VPN's to sync)
