Oracle recently changed their free VPS allowances, taking down my Nextcloud instance. I’m moving my file sync to a local machine but was wondering if anyone had any experience with alternatives, as Nextcloud AIO was a major pain in the ass to set up last time.

I used it for sharing WIP music projects so having a web interface where I can listen to audio files from a browser was really convenient. It seems however, that all apps offering this feature are just as heavy as NC.

I tried installing cloudreve, but the web media player seems borked on firefox.

Does anyone know any good alternatives, preferably ones which can run off a single docker compose file?

    Once I got comfortable with immich, I realized photos was my main use of nextcloud and immich was so much better. I replaced the rest of nextcloud’s functionality with syncthing+filebrowser quantum. Haven’t looked back since. Now I don’t have to worry about a nextcloud update randomly causing havoc (user error likely).

      In my case it was Syncthing and Radicale that replaced basically all my Nextcloud use.

      Nextcloud isn’t bad actually but you really need to use a lot of the million optional features to justify that behemoth.
