@rl_dane Geez, if YOU can't do it...

@killyourfm

lol. Haven't tried Matrix, but I've tried setting up NextCloud before.

I wish projects would look at #syncthing for inspiration.

Now there is a project that is just brain-dead simple to implement.

Just run the commands to add their apt repo, apt-get install it, run it from a cron job, and the rest is managed from the web interface. Stupid simple, and it has its own great NAT-traversing relays to keep all of your devices connected without having to use something like #tailscale.

@rl_dane @killyourfm Nextcloud has come a long way. They offer an official all-in-one image nowadays.

I might have to try it again.

Last I tried it was with a snap, which was supposed to be the easiest way.

It was not easy. 😄

@thedoctor @rl_dane Yea, I managed to install Nextcloud on a Hetzner VPS and ran it successfully for more than a year. That was exponentially easier than Matrix!

Nice!

I want to host my own Immich, but they don't support 32-bit raspberry pi os.

So, I think I'm going to buy a used mini PC to replace my RasPi. I could just as easily nuke and pave the 32-bit Raspbian with 64, but a faster CPU would be nice.

I run a Nextcloud instance for my family. The lowest-maintenance way I've found is to install Ubuntu on something, then install Cloudron, and then use Cloudron to install Nextcloud and the office thing. Self-updating, no sweat.

How does it compare to something like Yunohost?

I ran Yunohost for nearly a year. The number of times I had to get a shell open and fix something was too many. Yunohost is basically a set of scripts to configure a Debian machine, so if you don't mind fiddling it's probably fine. Cloudron is containerized and basically handles all the 'glue' for you. I've never had to manually fiddle with anything, although it provides the means to.

Cool!

@rl_dane @killyourfm For Immich an actual PC makes more sense, I think. Especially if you want to make use of the ML stuff, hardware acceleration comes in handy.
