@nextcloud@mastodon.xyzDiscover why Nextcloud is the go-to alternative to #BigTech for organizations prioritizing data sovereignty! 
With Nextcloud, you maintain full control over your data while ensuring robust, stable, and feature-rich private cloud collaboration.
@nextcloud I'm proudly self-hosting Nextcloud since 2018. In that time, I've upgraded continuously from Nextcloud 13 to 30, transitioning early on from SQLite to MariaDB, all thanks to @crits's fantastic guides and scripts. Along the way I've upgraded MariaDB and PHP as required. (I have another PHP upgrade scheduled before I upgrade to 31.)
I only have two daily users, but by now I have a high level of trust that Nextcloud will continue to serve our needs for file storage, address book, calendar (and more) into the future.
@fluidlogic really appreciate your post! Thanks.
@crits you're welcome. Giving you a shout out is the least I can do! I wouldn't be self-hosting if it wasn't for your scripts, which include hardening measures.
@fluidlogic Are you aware of Ada - a video for young and old.

@crits I've watched the first few minutes of this and frankly it's making me squirm. There is no social value in anything that Zangemann builds - skateboards that produce extraneous noise, joyless ice cream machines replacing human interaction. Perhaps that's the point of the film? I'll watch the rest today!
@crits @fluidlogic where can I find this guide? I'm stuck on 29 cause when I try to upgrade to 30 it breaks 
I've been using the Linuxserver compose (single container instead of the nextcloud compose that fires up 3 containers)which has been solid for me for a few years now. But I can't figure out why going from the latest 29 build to the earliest 30 build breaks it
@4bz @crits Carsten's guides are in German, but your browser translation will do a good job:

I don't use any containerisation. I don't want an extra layer of obfuscation in my systems. I want to know what's going on.
Before running Carsten's script, though, check what's in the Nextcloud log, or the web server log. I've found jq to be absolutely essential in making sense of the Nextcloud log at the command line, because for some reason it's a giant JSON structure.
Here's what I use. (Your Nextcloud log will be in a different place.)
sudo cat /var/nc_data/nextcloud.log | jq -C . | less -R
(The args to jq and less preserve the colourisation.)
@fluidlogic @crits Wow, thank you for expressing how happy you've been with using Nextcloud for so long - with many more years to come!
Yeah, that would be cool if you did not start enshittification early with all the AI stuff you're doing.
We never get any response from you on these topics.
Looks like you only read positive comments.
Thats unfortunate. Things we dont like also allow one to improve.
@fluidlogic @nextcloud @crits I'm also using nextcloud like that, and I would like more assurance from nextcloud that small individual users are still, and will always be, in their main focus.
@fluidlogic @crits Nice, I’ve been after a solution like this for a while! Fired up a VM and then less than 10 minutes later I had a NextCloud instance up and running!
I’m currently using the Ubuntu snap package but this looks much better! Going to see how this behaves over the next few days and then more than likely migrate my data onto this version. The snap just seems to crash several times a week.
@skymoo @crits nice one! I'm delighted to encourage more people to give Nextcloud a try.
Largely, Nextcloud is built with the user's interests in mind.
(The recent AI bullshit add-ons are for Nextcloud GmbH to be able to say "Yes, we have AI too" to satisfy all the mindless bandwagon-following check-box-ticking best-practice corporates. You don't have to enable it. I really wish they hadn't had to include it, but such is the world of selling to corporates today. In a few more years it'll be quantum computing readiness.)
@fluidlogic Yep, the AI stuff is definitely bullshit and I have non of that enabled in my instance currently, and more than likely I never will. It really pisses me off that “AI” is everywhere now, to anyone with only the slightest bit of intelligence it’s a waste of resources.
And the snap based server crashed again… Sigh. So it looks like I’ll be switching over to the @nextcloud instance managed by @crits scripts this weekend! Thanks for your work on this! It is very much appreciated!
@fluidlogic @nextcloud @crits I have been using Nextcloud since version 25, but since version 27 I have rebuilt my instance for various reasons and now only use the script from @crits, which is a real enrichment. The update script has also become indispensable for me. I've never had any problems with it. Many thanks for that. 
@nextcloud Is this video also available on peertube?
@nextcloud
"stable" as in my desktop client keeps harrassing me about failed attempts to sync a .md file created with Nexcloud web UI. I mean, this is use case 001. And Nextcloud fails at it so badly I am considering migrating to something else entirely.
Just drop all of your AI bullshit and maybe get file sync to work flawlessly first?
