100%. I love obsidian, but it’s awful at to-dos and shopping lists.

I’ve been using Quillpad for quick notes and Obsidian for everything else. I do wish I could point Quillpad to the same local folder on Android where my vault is.

I chimed in on the vote for Seafile on this thread. But I think it’s worth trying NextcloudPi image to see if that does what you want. I’ve been presently surprised by how well it works compared to my experience with the AIO image.

Came to say the same. Unlike Syncthing, it all syncs to the server and only downloads to your various devices when you want it to. Vital for my small SSD on MacBook Pro. Syncthing can do similar but requires individually selecting files and folders to ignore, which I did not want to do.

What’s crazy is that I tried NC on my server, which is a HP Microserver G8 hosting 13 total services. And it ran like crap. Tried the standard and AIO versions. On a whim tried NextcloudPi on a Pi4 and it has been awesome! Web interface is still pretty sluggish but I use apps that sync to NC most of the time like:

• Quillpad for Google Keep type notes and checklists
• Floccus for bookmarks sync
• Deck for Kanban
• Gnome online accounts for desktop and laptop connection with documents

So far it’s been flawless. I doubt it would run well with more than a few users though.

You can get a free Seafile Pro license if you create an account with them. Limited to 3 users, iirc. That’s what I’ve been running and really using it to keep stuff on phone, desktop, and laptop reachable from any of the devices. I love it.

Ooh, I lost track of that one. I remember seeing the trailer but it was at least a year ago and completely forgot about it. I’ll definitely check it out!

Micro Mages is so good!

I have. it’s a solid resource. Was mostly hoping to some specific homebrew games to try before buying.

I did not know that. Might have to double dip. I have it on switch, but encouraging Linux game ports with my wallet seems worthwhile. Plus it wouldn’t be the first time I bought a second copy of a game…

What a garbage take. Use what you want, homie.

Seafile is great. So fast, and unlike a bunch of these options, won’t sync everything to each node. Everything is reachable from each device with a client, but only downloads what you want from the server. If Syncthing could do that without needing to do a bunch of “ignore” manipulation, I’d switch. But for my needs, Seafile is where it’s at.

Cryptpad has a very capable Kanban in it. No mobile apps yet, but I understand that is on the road map.

Recent convert myself. And now that I’ve experienced mail, calendar, notes, and file storage all in the same app (android, at least) I can’t go back to separate apps.

I’ve heard good things. I will admit I don’t like hiding features that I would consider to be essential behind a paywall. But I may have to give it another try.

Damn, that’s a great price. Who is your VPS provider so I can keep an eye out for similar deals?

I’d love to try it out but only self-hosted. And so far I can’t get it spun up. To be clear, I’m sure that’s a me problem. That said, the instructions are pretty spartan and a few commands to run and “that’s it. you can now create an account and login!” but that doesn’t work for me.

I currently have Immich running and it’s good. But I’ve had two updates break my install, requiring hours of work to get it back to working reliably. They have a disclaimer that this can happen and isn’t ready for production yet, so I don’t fault them for that. I’m just on the hunt for something more reliable. Ente seems like it’s been around a good while. I just need to figure out what I’m doing wrong. The S3 backend is a pretty great feature, imo.

Hmm, I’ll have to look into the external library. I must not have paid attention to that as an option or at least didn’t understand it if I did read about it.

Syncthing would be great, but since my siblings are all out of state, I’d have to walk them through configuring it on their computers and I’ll be honest, I still struggle with adding new peers and folders with that app. That’s a “me” problem, and I’m willing to admit it. But I can look into other file upload options out in the Self Host world.

I really like it. I tried several distros for my first dedicated desktop Linux machine and pop was the one that clicked. I like that it’s not trying to mimick windows UI, and only sorta behaves like macOS. Everyone else was too close to win10. Which I understand is a selling point, so to speak, but I’m so sick of windows that I wanted it to look and act differently.

I would normally agree but then I saw how cool Paperless-NGX is and had a mighty need to self host and get organized. Or at least that’s how I’m justifying it to myself…
