Looks fantastic, I'll actually be trying this. Love how it doesn't lock my files into some obscure format like seafiles.
🤯
OMG I just posted this to lemmy and saw it had already been posted. Great work! Amazing video!!
Ok this is too damn cool. Will be checking it out soon, but moving to a new apartment this week so I probably shouldn't dive into new distractions just yet...
This is really impressive
OMG! I've been looking for something like this for quite some time!
I will try this as soon as I have time. Thank you!
I looked at the comparison for Seafile as that's the one I'm most familiar with. In my opinion Seafile's greatest strength is its encryption, but in your comparison you seem to see this as a negative as I assume this bullet refers to the encryption? "isolated on-disk file hierarchy, incompatible with other software. much worse than nextcloud in that regard"
the intention with that statement was that seafile, by default, places all the files inside its own proprietary file container thing, where the files are not easily accessible from the server's actual filesystem, using regular linux utilities. My knowledge of seafile is really minimal, so this could be wrong -- in which case I'll fix that right away! or, at the very least, try to clarify what I meant to avoid this confusion.
in case you happen to know -- are you aware if it's possible to use Seafile while having it just place all the files and folders on the disk like any other program would?
@tripflag @disobey2623 Your statement is correct; the way seafile stores files is in blocks (for de-duplication, apparently).
They offer a fuse extension that allows you to view stuff like a normal filesystem, though I've never tried it: https://manual.seafile.com/latest/extension/fuse/

You crack me up !!!
this looks amazing! (from the youtube video. also the controls/features seem to be well thought-through) i'll give it a shot tomorrow
Wow! This is great. I may give it a shot.
Hey! Just set this up today and it seems pretty good. Only issue I'm having is that is pretty slow to download (~2mb/s) what are some good ways to speed it up?
I'll have to say that this is about one of the most detailed instructions I've seen, replete with copious screenshots. I'm going to have to give it a go just based on that. LOL
Can you point me to the WebDAV code? I’m interested to see your implementation. There are some parts of the spec that are ambiguous, and I like to see how those are implemented in different servers.
