I’ve used Nextcloud for a long while but only for cloud storage and photo backup from my phone. I’ve moved the latter to Immich and just replaced the cloud storage with Seafile.
So far everything is hunky dory but I was wondering if anyone who’s run Seafile for longer has any insights for things to watch out for with it. I’m following the documentation backup solution and I’m the only user (so the whole db/file de sync during backup isn’t an issue)

I’ve been meaning to try https://github.com/kd2org/karadav out, lightweight server that supports nextcloud applications. Has anyone else tried it out?
I haven’t, but it’s on my list. I also want to try copyparty. Currently, I use SFTPGo, it works pretty well. They both don’t support Nextcloud apps, but I use Round Sync on my phone.
hey, copyparty dev here - I’ll be upfront and warn that if you’re looking for a service to do full bidirectional file syncing, with proper file tracking and versioning, then something like syncthing is a better choice. Copyparty is able to do single-direction syncing of local folders to the server pretty well (using copyparty’s u2c or rclone), but that’s about it.
But if you’re looking for something to handle file uploads faster than many alternatives, or any of the other features listed in the readme, then I’d be happy to help if you ever get stuck somewhere :>
Nextcloud was too slow and bloated for me. I used Seafile for years and it was fine, but at some point I went to some more simple setup : sftpgo to share folders (sftp, dav) and syncthing for the folders I want to sync between devices. You can also set ignore lists in syncthing to ignore large dirs. Keep it simple stupid 😅
All of your files are now in a proprietary directory unlike nextcloud, enjoy
All his files are secure and properly synced… unlike Nextcloud.
