@arturN also that link is for owncloud not opencloud, but maybe the instructions still work.
@arturN that's good to know, are the files stored in plain markdown like Obsidian this way? I thought Joplin had its own storage system for syncing. I'm using the Joplin server atm but if the files are actually accessible from OC this could be useful.
@connel yes! this exact pain of nextcloud led me to breaking it apart into immich (vs memories), vaultwarden (vs nc passwords), Joplin (vs notes), radicale (vs nc contacts). And it couldn't have been easier to migrate and never look back. Copyparty seems promising for file sharing. I gave up on trying to replace any of the other nextcloud functionality but I do miss the file sharing (when it worked). I'll check out opencloud though!

@fella OC is going to be adding full groupware support (contacts, calendar and email) in the future, you can read about it in this blog post:

https://opencloud.eu/en/news/opencloud-calendar-and-contact-management-available-community

Once they have that implemented, OC will be a no-brainer imo.

OpenCloud calendar and contact management available for the community

Digital self-determination starts with the little things - for example, the question of who we entrust with our calendars and contacts.

@fella I am only using it for personal use. In terms of replacing M365 in an enterprise setting today, I would say NextCloud is still your best bet (begrudgingly) for something self-hosted.

The calendar and contacts integration for OC is not officially supported. It's a bit of preview. I'd recommend having a test environment of both set up and doing a comparison.

@plasma4045 just gave it a quick Google and reviews seem really positive! I hadn't heard of it before. I sometimes use Collabora as a Google docs replacement so OC hits the sweet spot for my use case. Thanks for the recommendation though, I'll keep an eye out for how the project progresses.

I've installed #paperlessngx but I'd really like to experiment with some local AI with it.

My server has 16gb of ram, but only 5-6 spare.

I have an Intel Arc with 4GB of memory knocking about somewhere.

I have no idea if that's enough to run #Ollama for something like organising documents and doing ORC.

Has anyone had any mileage with this kind of hardware? I have an Intel i5-13500T CPU if that changes anything.

#SelfHosted #HomeLab #Ollama

Today I Installed #OpenCloud and completed my move away from Nextcloud.

I'm really happy with it.

Nextcloud was by far the most frustrating application I've self hosted. If there was a way for Nextcloud to be annoying, it would do it.

Been using #Immich for a while and it's amazing. That's replaced Memories.

Recently started using #Joplin. That's replaced Notes.

Set up some shared calendars with symlinks in OpenCloud's #Radicale add-on to replace Calendar and Contacts.

Before the game I saw who Sunderland were missing and I thought anything other than a win would be very difficult for Howe to come back from.

To throw away a lead and lose is abysmal.

The club's a mess. Last summer has put us back years. I'm expecting an exodus of players in the summer and we're going to have a giant rebuild on our hands. My concern is the new DoF is a Howe yes man.

Very happy about the new @gnome release, and I'm proud about what my fellow contributors have accomplished together in this cycle. Tons and tons of bugfixes and new features! The release notes at https://release.gnome.org/50/ cover a small portion of the most user-visible changes, but there's a lot more to discover.

Meanwhile, in the #GNOME hashtag…

(after 40 minutes of reading through https://fedi.absturztau.be/notice/B4O8ucxRQoQyBxrrpg, I cannot imagine a more insane thread in the #fediverse)
