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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I hear people say that about Nextcloud often, which is part of why I haven't bothered setting it up yet.

Is there a technical reason why it's slow and clunky? Any problematic choices with how it was built?

Nextcloud is slow and clunky if you run it on a banana.

Run it on a "normal" server and everything is smooth.

Yeah, and don't pretend that comparable software like Google Drive, Sharepoint or Dropbox is faster.

I compare it to a samba or (s)ftp share. I wish it was similar in speed and ease of use.

It's become better since I migrated over to PostgreSQL. But it's still not great.

My install is basically instant. Might be your connection?
