So I want to build a home server to use as a media server, and to back up my photos etc.
I am also currently doing an online course, and happen to spend some time at work as well as at home working on it. I don’t like using Google where I can help it, but I find google docs really useful. So I’m wondering if there’s an open source application that works essentially the same, but I could run off my own server? It would have to be web-based as I use Windows at work and can’t install new programs :/
edit: Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I’ve got quite a few leads to follow now, it should be fun!
Nextcloud is laggy and bloated, would not recommend
Good application but performance sucks
What you mean bloated? It is laggy in web browser, but using client apps solve that problem. It would be awesome if its more snappy, but I couldnt find anything better for my needs. What do you use?
It’s fine if you don’t set it up on a dogshit slow rPi and use postgres/redis in the docker compose. Every time I see this comment, it’s because of configuration errors or horrible hardware.
Man, use Sharepoint on anything under a dual Xeon and see true lag.
Is there a way to transition from MariaDB to Postgres? I used the mariadb / redis version of the docker-compose, but now I hear everyone says Postgres is better for performance?
Create your users in the new install, move each users files to the created folders from your old install, and use the OCC addfiles command to enumerate the new files into the new db.
You got me there
I was also running it on a pi 4 though because I don’t want a high powered machine sucking up energy and kicking out heat 24/7
