this is great info, thanks. I don’t think its the issue right now, I think I need to define the roles in owncloud which I tried to do but it still doesn’t work. I’ll ask on the owncloud forums but these custom scopes might still be needed at some point. thanks.

tried this and also tried making a role in authentik assigned to the group called ocisAdmin and added the admin user to it, it still gives the same error. Seems like I need to define a proxy.yaml file in owncloud with the roles, I did this and it still doesn’t work.

How is this better than being top level folders like school, receipts, car maintenance etc and then naming your files like:

2025-02-21 - car service receipt.PDF

Easy to find and see what is newest since it alphabetical by age and easy to search since the file name is descriptive.

Combine this with better search tools like powertools OK windows and it seems way more intuitive than this system.

Combine this by having the folder in a backup solution like google drive / Nextcloud / seafile etc and you can access these files anywhere securely.

Its an automation software for borg backup to run on a schedule and keep a certain number of backups while deleting old ones etc.

All persistent storage from my dockers are in a folder. All I have to backup everything is backup this one folder along with my docker compose files (in git).

Locally there are zfs snapshots (autosnapshot) and for remote I use borgmatic.

Borg to :

1. Local server
2. Friends server
3. Borgbase

I would but the other side isn’t zfs so I went with borg instead

Local zfs snap every 5 mins.

Borg backups everything hour to 3 different locations.

I’ve blown away docker folders of config files a few times by accident. So far I’ve only had to dip into the zfs snaps to bring them back.

The purpose of most of these apps is to be able to use them on multiple devices. If I had immich entirely running on my phone (this is not actually feasible regardless) how do i access my images from my computer.

Also many people have multiple users. A family could have all their images on one immich server and be able to share images with each other easily.

On jellyfin for example, I can play any of my media on someone elses TV as long as they have Chromecast. Not possible if its all just kept locally in a folder on a computer

Is there a way to share groups of files at once? For example I currently share tax files with my accountant using seafile so right now I scan everything and just drop it into a folder. I would love to use paperless but being able to share folder that can be downloaded all at once is a critical workflow for me.

The annoying part is making and mounting the configuration file. https://owncloud.dev/ocis/guides/ocis-local-docker/

Android app doesn’t have file search last I checked (pro feature).

No full text search on app or website (pro feature)

The app will just randomly stop being able to connect to the database. I use docker and mariadb. It will just fail for no reason. Restarting the docker stack doesn’t fix it. I use the redeploy button on portainer to get it working again. I use lots of databases in many docker apps, nothing else does this.

I want to change to owncloud OCIS

Most reverse proxies can only do http traffic. Traefik can do TCP and UDP, the camera is probably UDP

Yes, hairpin can make it work but some routers don’t seem to do it well.

The other issue is that on wireguard by DNS is set to pi hole and without doing this my internal stuff wasn’t working without doing this

Others have already answered but this might help understand.

On cloudflare DNS, I set my domain to point to external IP address my ISP gives me for my router. Ie example.com points to 107.474.274.12

Within my network, my internal DNS (pi hole) is set to point to the internal IP address of my server. Ie example.com points to 192.168.1.23

Note that in the first example, the router has port forwarding so that all https traffic (port 443) is forwarded to the internal IP of my server, 192.168.1.23. I’m both example, the traffic ends up in the same place but the route it takes depends on if the traffic starts inside my network (example 2) or outside of the internet (example 1).

Just as an FYI its done like this because its vastly faster than flat files.

This is also the reason why NextCloud has lots of complaints about speed and files getting locked and not syncing properly.

Apps that are way faster (seafile, owncloud GO) use proprietary file stores.

Obsidian Live sync works extremely well and quickly to the point that the update speed is almost like a google docs with multiple editors. Couchdb is why.

Lol at the obsidian criticisms in the self hosted community :)

Couchdb is like 20 years old and not exactly ‘novel’

I setup a docker for his like 2 years ago and did nothing other than update once in that time. Live sync has otherwise been rock solid on multiple devices.

Obsidian not being open source is very valid criticism. The above 2 things really aren’t.

What was wrong with obsidian?

The self hosted live sync plugin has been rock solid between my windows, Linux and android clients.
