Poet assistant maybe?
For me personally, ocis is way better than Nextcloud for basic sharing and file sync.
I haven't tried the desktop app but the Android one works just fine - plus it comes with a 'document provider' so you can access files stored on your server via Android's native files explorer app as if they were on your phone.
When I said Nextcloud-like, I meant in function and not philosophy. So Nextcloud-like in the sense that you can do file sync, auto uploads of videos/photos from a mobile device etc
Quickly get OCIS (Nextcloud alternative) up and running
To those self-hosters who are out there curious if there exists a faster Nextcloud-like alternative without all the bells and whistles. I present to you, OCIS! This howto assumes that you're running a Linux OS and that you have a reverse proxy like caddy running. To the guy who I suggested checking out OCIS, I wrote this guide for you ;)
1. Download the OCIS binary:
sudo wget -O /usr/bin/ocis https://download.owncloud.com/ocis/ocis/stable/3.0.0/ocis-3.0.0-linux-amd64
The above downloads the latest stable version.
2. Make the downloaded binary executable:
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/ocis
3. Create a systemd unit file to start OCIS automatically:
``` Description=OCIS server
[Service] Type=simple User=ocis Group=ocis EnvironmentFile=/etc/ocis/ocis.env ExecStart=ocis server Restart=always
[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` 4. Create the ocis user:
sudo useradd --system --no-create-home --shell=/sbin/nologin ocis
5. Create the necessary directories:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/ocis /var/lib/ocis
6. Grant ownership of created directories above to the ocis user:
sudo chown -R ocis:ocis /etc/ocis/ /var/lib/ocis
7. Create the environment file for running OCIS:
sudo nano /etc/ocis/ocis.env
and paste the lines below - edit the domain accordingly:
OCIS_URL=https://ocis.your.domain.org PROXY_TLS=false OCIS_INSECURE=true OCIS_LOG_LEVEL=error OCIS_CONFIG_DIR=/etc/ocis OCIS_BASE_DATA_PATH=/var/lib/ocis PROXY_HTTP_ADDR=0.0.0.0:9200 PROXY_USER_OIDC_CLAIM=preferred_username PROXY_USER_CS3_CLAIM=username PROXY_ENABLE_BASIC_AUTH=true
8. Initialize your OCIS install:
sudo -u ocis ocis init --config-path /etc/ocis
That's it!
Visiting the url https://ocis.your.domain.org should present you with OCIS login page.
To access the webdav endpoint via something like Cx Explorer or Gnome files, use:
https://ocis.your.domain.org/remote.php/webdav
Depending on your setup, you might have to add the ocis domain above to your hosts file.
A line like 127.0.0.1 ocis.your.domain.org
to the /etc/hosts file.
If you don't have a reverse proxy but would still like to check out OCIS, use the environment file below:
OCIS_URL=https://192.168.x.x:9200 PROXY_TLS=true OCIS_INSECURE=true OCIS_LOG_LEVEL=error OCIS_CONFIG_DIR=/etc/ocis OCIS_BASE_DATA_PATH=/var/lib/ocis PROXY_HTTP_ADDR=0.0.0.0:9200 PROXY_USER_OIDC_CLAIM=preferred_username PROXY_USER_CS3_CLAIM=username PROXY_ENABLE_BASIC_AUTH=true
I tried mine with keli.local:9200 and it worked just fine- make sure you have avahi-daemon installed!
Edit:
If you're using a reverse proxy, your proxy address should be localhost:9200
.
For caddy, this would mean an entry like:
ocis.your.domain.org { reverse_proxy localhost:9200 }
You should look into OCIS. You can set it up in minutes and it's really fast compared to Nextcloud for basic file's stuff (share, sync, stream, photo auto uploads).
Maybe you should give Ubuntu Server a spin. Last I tried, Nextcloud snap was the easiest way to get Nextcloud up and running.
I don't think it's something you can fix unfortunately. Just use something else like Connect or Liftoff while waiting for the admins to update their instance.
Synology's Download Station introduced me to emule. I don't think there's a more polished client for it than DS.
DivestOS is the only Android ROM I know of that integrates the Mulch webview. But Tad (DivestOS dev) also builds standalone binaries of Mulch that can be installed independently- just add their repo into f-droid or something like droidify and you're good to go.

Here we (Kenya) banned single-use plastic bags back in 2017!!
Learning the gestures currently with Connect. At least it doesn't crash randomly.
