What you guys are hosting instead of Nextcloud? I'm sick of it. (alien.top)

I am hosting more than 10 services currently but only Nextcloud sends me errors periodically and only Nextcloud is super extremely painfully slow. I quit this sh*t. No more troubleshooting and optimization.

There are mainly 4 services in Nextcloud I'm using:

  • Files: as simple server for upload and download binaries
  • Calendar (with DAVx5): as sync server without web UI
  • Notes: simple note-taking
  • Network folder: mounted on Linux dolphin

Could you recommend me the alternatives for these? All services are supposed to be exposed by HTTPS, so authentication like login is needed. And I've tried note-taking apps like Joplin or trillium but couldn't like it.

Thanks in advance.

  • Syncthing for files.
  • Proton calendar (so not self hosted)
  • Joplin, using file based sync with aforementioned syncthing. I saw you didn't like it though.
  • I occasionally use scp

For calendaring, I also went with the option of syncthing via DecSync. I can get my contacts and calendar on Android and Thunderbird, so I can avoid yet another unnecessary webapp.

This does look cool! But I notice that there's really only one contributor (technically two, but the second only did one tiny commit) and they haven't contributed any code in over a year. I don't want to invest too much time migrating to a stale if not dead project.

Honestly, I think that the lack of commits is more due to the application being feature complete than "dead". I've been using it for at least 3 years now and it works quite well.

That's a fine point! You talked me in to checking it out. Thanks for the recommendation!
