End user of NC here, have it setup on a little Digital Ocean droplet. I switched from OwnCloud shortly after the fork, and sync contacts/calendar/notes between my desktop and android. Pleasantly surprised with how well things work.
My favorite thing to do is upload a short video from my phone, and send my family the share link. Much better than uploading to YouTube / Facebook. I also do photography, and love how easy it is to share a gallery in a few seconds. When I'm done in Lightroom, I just export JPGs to the directory, and copy over the share link to the gallery app. Great user experience!
I'm glad NC is continuing development, and it's interesting that they're adding federation to the client, but I'm not sure it's a feature I'd use. Though I'd like to setup a mastodon instance for myself, there's too much docker/nodejs bloat and hastle, and I've yet to successfully get an instance online. (Even if I did, I'm not sure I'd use it very much.)
- thomnottom 8y agoSimilar situation here. I'm wondering if this might be enough to stop me from trying my own Mastodon instance. Might be nice to not have to support even more platforms.
- mgbmtl 8y agoAre you using Joplin for notes sync? I like Nextcloud, but I have to admit that I quickly get lost when I explore addons/integrations.
- yogthos 8y agoI started using NC for docs and calendar. Really happy with it. things work great and sharing things via links works great. Especially like how you can add expiry to shared links.
- bayesian_horse 8y agoMy impression is that the less users there are on an NC instance, and the less complicated the use case, the less trouble you run into.
- bfdm 8y agoDid you follow a guide to set this up? I'm not an expert in cloud envs, but I have set up a run machines in GCP and consider myself capable. I had a really hard time finding a guide for setting up NC in a GCP VM and following the instructions. When I ultimately wound my way through them to the point of testing something, I hit a brick wall regarding some kind of auth, if I recall.
