A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It’s probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.
Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.
if nextcloud is too heavy for you and you really just use it for filesharing, consider filebrowser. if you also need sync, you can use syncthing. Even combined those two should easily be more lightweight, easier to maintain and less error prone than a nextcloud instance. you will miss out on the additional nextcloud apps though.
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll look into them.
