I chimed in on the vote for Seafile on this thread. But I think it’s worth trying NextcloudPi image to see if that does what you want. I’ve been presently surprised by how well it works compared to my experience with the AIO image.

Cryptpad has a very capable Kanban in it. No mobile apps yet, but I understand that is on the road map.

That looks nice! I tried to my brain wrapped around Restic CLI (and others) and just didn’t click for my smooth brain. I’ll have to try this.

Dang. Again? I know they have the disclaimer that it’s not to be relied on for photo backup yet and thankfully I’m not, but it’s so much better than any of it’s peers that I’d love to ditch the other apps.

I ran Pi-hole for years. Switched to adguardhome running on 2 servers (primary and secondary) with AGH sync keeping the two instances identical. I like the UI better, dns rewrites, and the ability to simply block services entirely with a single click.

I have NextcloudPi image running on a Pi 4 with a CODE server and Nextcloud Office both installed from the Nextcloud “app store”. This is working great for office type docs.

I will say I tried to do the same with Nextcloud docker images from linuxserver.io as well as the official AIO image and could not get the Office function to work. Both of those ran horribly on my older server too, so I gave up on them. NextcloudPi seems to be highly optimized and running well on the Pi 4.

I’ve talked mad shit about Nextcloud repeatedly. That said, I keep trying it. Almost compelled to make it work for me. This stubbornness lead me to NextcloudPi. And I don’t know what they do to that image/build, but it works very well on my Pi 4 w/4GB. Then I tried it in a docker container on my main server and it ran like trash again. So, ymmv? Easy enough to stand it up for a test though.

I’m a huge fan of Seafile. It’s the best Google drive/Dropbox replacement, imo. It does support Collabora or Open Office integration as well, but I can’t get that to work. Take that as a sign of me still learning rather than a slight against the product. I will say though, their documentation needs work. It’s quite a mess.

Memos might do the trick for you. There is a 3rd party android native app, but I found the PWA to be quite good. Markdown is stored in a single sqlite db file though, if that bugs you.

Ah, ok. I’ll have to set that up. I currently have aegis backing up to my phone’s documents folder which Seafile is syncing with my server and 3 other clients. Sounds like a similar idea

That’s great. I wonder if the same could be done on the original Xbox. I believe it had the ability to play over network connection from ISOs on a PC if modded. I have one kicking around that I have yet to put a bigger HDD in.

Funny thing, I bought this one used off eBay to interface with my CRT TV for retro games (NES/SNES) because it had analog out. I didn’t realize at the time that most, if not all pi models can do it too. It’s just combined with the 3.5mm headphone jack. It’s an AV port! Oh well, got this one for a song so I’m not too mad about it.

I did like Memories, but ultimately went with Immich so that I could access photos outside of Nextcloud.

I’m interested in the backup features you mentioned. Can you point me in the direction of something specific?

I used Pihole for years, but have found AGH an overall better UI from a management perspective. And a quick searchs shows that unbound can work with AGH as well so I may give that a try.

Yeah, I have a pi 3 and 4 in the “fleet” already. Was mostly just looking some something to use it for aside from wall decor.

That’s a clever idea. My UPS does already have the smart pants features like that, but I love the simplicity of that as a concept.

I thought they got rid of the free version… Does look like a really cool project though.

Well that’s the thing…I haven’t been able to get any to work yet. Their documentation isn’t great. But the one I’d really like to get going is the multi storage backend. You can then specify hot and cold storage based on the library within Seafile itself, which is pretty great. But I need someone smarter than me to figure that part out 😆

Can I ask you a question regarding that? I don’t know enough about the various apps for databases. What is preferable about postgres over Mysql/Mariadb? I’m still learning, as you can tell.

Popping back here just to say: still can’t get it lol I even tried Runtipi, which itself installed fine. And I was able to do one click installs on most of the apps I tested. But Cryptpad still fecked off and said “nope”.

Thank you kindly! Yeah, this one has been a bear for me. Probably a bit ambitious for a relatively new self-hoster. But hey, I like to learn by doing.

Just running node as that is what the instructions mentioned. Do you have a link or something I can search for that might lead me to how I should replace one with the other?

The diagnosis link goes nowhere for me. I double checked my DNS records on Cloudflare:

1. A record for root domain pointing to VPS target, not proxied through CF
2. A record for subdomain pointing to VPS target, not proxied through CF

From my understanding I don’t need any others? At least I think I read that right.

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at cryptpad.mydomain.com. If you entered the right address, you can:

• Try again later
• Check your network connection
• Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

I’ll echo AGH being better. And there’s a sync if you run two instances like I do. Wallabag is solid and its even better with Minflux as your RSS reader. Super tight integration to save from RSS to Wallabag. Love it.

I gotta say, Nextcloud AIO was an absolute removed to setup in my case too. And the fact you have to purge so much stuff to start over is lame. Granted my hardware is older, so it doesn’t run well, but man…what a chore to even get it setup.
