Oracle recently changed their free VPS allowances, taking down my Nextcloud instance. I’m moving my file sync to a local machine but was wondering if anyone had any experience with alternatives, as Nextcloud AIO was a major pain in the ass to set up last time.
I used it for sharing WIP music projects so having a web interface where I can listen to audio files from a browser was really convenient. It seems however, that all apps offering this feature are just as heavy as NC.
I tried installing cloudreve, but the web media player seems borked on firefox.
Does anyone know any good alternatives, preferably ones which can run off a single docker compose file?
ultra minimal but might do everything you need
copyparty + syncthing
Their requirements line up so well with what copyparty can do
This comment led me to investigating copyparty for myself. It looks good.
Do you know if you can specify existing folders?
what do you mean?
i use it in the most basic way… when I need to quickly access a folder on one my servers I cd into it, copy party, access it on my PCs browser and go, then I quit copy party
I was just wondering if I could point it to folders that already exist on my server. In particular, my Syncthing folder.
Ah yes sure you can do that.
If you install it as a simple package you just cd into the folder you want and run the command ‘copyparty’ otherwise you can simply use docker compose and set it up that way: https://jaredheinrichs.substack.com/p/how-to-setup-copyparty-using-docker
there you can just point the path of your syncthing folder into the /media directory inside the docker container
Excellent, thanks!
