I stopped using Nextcloud a couple of years ago after it corrupted my encrypted storage. I'm giving it a try again because of political emergency. But we sure need a long term replacement. Written in Rust or some other sane language.
Nc is great, it really is amazing that it is foss. Sure it isn't the slickest or fastest, and it does need more maintenance than most foss services, but it is also more complex and has so many great features.
I really recommend nc, 99% of the time it just works for me. It just seems that their docker was done pretty poorly imo, but still it just works most of the time.
I've considered writing my own, but it's a ton of work. Even for my very basic use case of a file browser that offloads all edits to Collabora CODE. I had a basic system started in Go some years back, but bailed when I got a basic setup working (just file ops).
Maybe I'll give it a shot again. I mostly use Rust now, and I'm kind of stalling on my P2P Lemmy idea anyway. I really don't like PHP and I don't use many of the Nextcloud features anyway. I just want Google Drive w/ LibreOffice or OnlyOffice.
My NC setup "just works" though. So I'm not super motivated to replace it.
Edit: looks like Seafile may do the trick.
