  • I’ve had next cloud break on me before and it runs slow, so I switched to Seafile instead for files, but actually Seafile scares me even more than next cloud because at least next cloud saves files on disk as files you can copy out to somewhere else if you need to access them (I’m not above emergency scp of important files to get the files I need).

    Seafile uses some binary format that means I can only get files in and out through the Web interface. If Seafile breaks, I’m SOL to recover data to somewhere else and need to be able to get a working backup or fix it. I can’t just scp files to a local machine to work on them.


  • Nothing broken yet, but there’s still time! So far I set up immich instead of seafile for photos (keeping seafile instead of next cloud for files, but immich is way better for photos) And set up link warden and floccus for book mark backup and sync.

    I have had some interesting DNS issues though where the immich app would not reliably resolve my immich local domain from the pihole, so of course there’s a DNS issue… Working around that by using the IP for now, it seems to be an issue only with the app.
