Interesting. Peergos seems to be a lot like a self-hosted Dropbox. How does it compare to ownCloud and Nextcloud?

  We treat the server as an adversary. So everything is chunked an encrypted so the server can't see file data, filenames, file sizes, whether something is a file or dir, who has access to a file, who your friend are etc. Everything is signed so servers can't tamper with your data either. We also use a p2p and self-authenticated protocol so it is easy to migrate servers whilst keeping your identity, friends and data.

    Interesting, in selfhosted discussions, I usually hear about that as a negative (it comes up frequently in the seafile - nextcloud comparison). It makes sense, but I hadn’t heard the pro-part of the argument before.

      I used to self host Nextcloud and securing it ended up being very complicated

        I selfhost it, and I have no issues.

          How did you secure your setup?

            Securing the server like any other, 2FA for nextcloud, and follow the security guidelines: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/harden_server.html https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/instal...
