Nextcloud (AIO) has been a nightmare 😫. I’m planning to ditch it since I don’t have the time to keep tweaking it or dealing with constant issues.

Now, I’m torn between Seafile and OwnCloud.

I was interested in trying OCIS but couldn’t find a ready-to-use Docker Compose file. If anyone has one, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Also, I’ve read concerns about how Seafile stores files. Is that still an issue?

I use Portainer to manage containers, but I’m okay with a manual setup too. I just need a ready-to-use Compose file for quick deployment.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Found a solution. Haven’t tried yet.

    Maybe because of my background, but I’ve never had an issue standing up or maintaining a Nextcloud instance. Especially since the AIO release. Hell, I was shocked how easy it was to migrate.

    I’m not saying it’s the best software, but it’s always just worked. I’ve been using it since I dropped own cloud for the nextcloud fork. What common issues are people having with the infrastructure?

    Seafile store data in its own proprietary format. There’s no way to just go into the disk and browse the data. You need a proper backup solution.

    In my case, I sync all my Seafile data between my server, laptop and desktop, so in the worst case I only lose the file history. A better option, if you have space, is to backup the Seafile storage volumes as well.

    Seafile provides ready made compose files, with a detailed guide - https://manual.seafile.com/11.0/docker/deploy_seafile_with_docker/

    Also, note that if you make an account on their site, you can get a free pro license for up to three accounts.
