Because an android client is one of my requirements. I can get files from SMB on Android using any number of file managers, but I can't map a SMB share to a filesystem so files are available for an app to use.

Yes! There used to be a little utility that could map a SMB share in Android, but that got killed years ago.
So, use something else
That's why I'm here - looking for suggestions
like Seafile.
I'll have another look - you're not the only person to suggest it. My recollection is that it seemed to be old and not really maintained.
I’ve never used the AIO image. I’ve heard it’s weird.
It does seem to be. So, I find it weird that the "core" documentation leads a new user to installing AIO.
You could also try OpenCloud, which is a Go rewrite of ownCloud.
Sounds interesting - thanks.
You need to understand the difference between a docker run command, and detaching to run a container in the background. Just running it with ‘run’ keeps it in the foreground.
Yes, I understand this. I was just highlighting that it's not a great experience for a new user to follow the instructions to setup a server and be left with it running in the foreground.
For the passphrase issue: https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/discussions/1786
Thanks! This should get me past my current hurdle so I can do some more testing. Again - not a great experience to have to come to a forum to get help to find a passphrase. I'm pretty sure I didn't miss any steps?
Lastly, if you’re not familiar with containers, and this is a single purpose machine, you’d be better off just running the bare project on the host. If there’s no need for containerization, just skip it.
I'm familiar with containers, but think they're overused. Stupid little things that are a single Python script (for example) shipping as a Docker image! But, I thought Nextcloud was complex enough to be worthy of a container? This is not a single purpose machine, but I'm an old, retired, sysadmin - I have no problem running a few different servers on the same host.
Are you referring to the "Archive" Community Project installation method?
Use docker or podman compose https://hub.docker.com/_/nextcloud/
I could do that - I guess I was just pointing out that someone coming to Nextcloud and following the install instructions does not have a great experience.
Nextcloud does not need a domain. Ip is fine.
So, their documentation is wrong?
Again - not a great experience for a first time user.
And the people of the USA are not the US government and yet I'm boycotting all US products. I feel really bad about it sometimes because some US products I'm no longer buying come from small, ethical (on paper at least) employee owned companies. But as someone who is not in the US, this is the only action I can take in response to the US government.
If people from Israel would like to holiday in the Maldives then they have a bit of work to do. Step 1 is to overthrow their fascist government.
Yeah. Someone else suggested it might cover your first ambulance ride. I'm thinking maybe your first year health insurance?
Edit - it was just a wild guess, but here's a badly formatted table copied from an article in Forbes:
Age of member Average monthly costs
- Age 21 $445
- Age 27 $467
- Age 30 $505
- Age 40 $569
- Age 50 $795
- Age 60 $1,208
So, for my age, my guess was almost exactly right!
Yeah, I can see how someone that has "grown up with it" could be happy. But as and experienced sysadmin coming at it for the first time - the documentation is a bit lacking.
