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:

Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
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.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Docker + Nextcloud = why is it so difficult? (lemmy.world)

TLDR: I consistently fail to set up Nextcloud on Docker. Halp pls?

Hi all - please help out a fellow self-hoster, if you have experience with Nextcloud. I have tried several approaches but I fail at various steps. Rather than describe my woes, I hope that I could get a "known good" configuration from the community?

What I have:

a homelab server and a NAS, wired to a dedicated switch using priority ports.
the server is running Linux, Docker, and NPM proxy which takes care of domains and SSL certs.

What I want:

a docker-compose.yml that sets up Nextcloud without SSL. Just that.
ideally but optionally, the compose file might include Nextcloud office-components and other neat additions that you have found useful.

Your comments, ideas, and other input will be much appreciated!!

This is a completely valid option and one that more people should consider. You don't have to selfhosted everything, even if you can. I actually prefer to support existing instances of stuff in a lot of cases.

I use https://disroot.org for email and cloud, and I'm more than happy to kick them a hundred bucks a year to help support a community. Same with https://fosstodon.org for Mastodon. I'm fully capable of self-hosting these things, but instead I actively choose to support them instead so that their services can be extended to more than just myself. I chose those two because they send excess funds upstream to FOSS projects. I'm proud to rep those domains.
