Replacing everything I use Nextcloud for with Copy party + Tailscale. Much more simple setup.
Discussion
Never used Nextcloud or any of the self hosted solutions so I have one question:
If you have an instance and I also have an instance of Nextcloud hosted on some local setup, can we share files with each other and do collaborative edits seamlessly? Can the instances federate?
Supposedly but I haven't got mine to work yet
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/user_manual/en/files/federated_cloud_sharing.html
I never tried but you can both share and collab without federating so I never saw the point. Nextcloud seems great for teams and businesses but that didn't fit my use so it was overkill.
what's Copy party?
Its a <1 mb python file that does an insane amount of things
Here's a video of me running Copyparty on my phone, effectively turning it into a webserver and allowing me to browse files from a web browser. (I use a different copyparty instance on a laptop to host the video.
