NextCloud does feel slow. What I want is not only a cloud service that does lots of common tasks, but it also should do it lightly and simply. I'm extremely tempted to write a lightweight alternative. I'm thinking sourcehut [1] vs GitHub. [1] https://sourcehut.org/ https://sourcehut.org/

  I've been running filestash in front of sftpgo (using a combination of s3 and nfs for file backends) for a couple years now and have been very happy with it.

I'm not saying that sourcehut is the same in any way, but I want the difference between GitHub and sourcehut to be the difference between NextCloud and alternative. > Nextcloud is an old product that inherit from Owncloud developed in php since 2010. Tough situation to be in, I don't envy it. > It has extensibility at its core through the thousands of extensions available. Sure, but I think for some limited use cases, something better could be imagined.

Take a look at OpenCloud. It's a Go-based rewrite of the former OwnCloud team. It works very well, has polished UI and uses very little resources. It also does a lot less than Nextcloud. https://github.com/opencloud-eu https://github.com/opencloud-eu
