After using Nextcloud for a year and having a wonderful experience I’m not quite convinced, and it’s not Nextcloud’s fault, it’s because I feel like I’m putting all the eggs in one basket (my notes, my ToDos, my calendars, my contacts, etc).
First of all, this feeling of putting all the eggs in the same basket came when one day I needed to access my Keepass database that was synchronized by Nextcloud to make a payment, and the problem is that I had the bad luck that for some reason the Nextcloud provider had their servers down at that time, so I had a bad experience because the database never charged and I could not make the payment (And it was a bank transfer, so it was necessary to make the payment immediately), and I really understand that neither Nextcloud nor Keepass were at all to blame in this case, it was my fault for depending on a Nextcloud provider but that really made me think again and since that day I have been migrating all my services that I used in Nextcloud to other open source services, for example, I changed Joplin for Notesnook and Keepass for Bitwarden, but I have not found an alternative to Nextcloud’s ToDo, the closest is Vikunja which in my opinion is very expensive ($40).
I would gladly self-host my own Nextcloud instance and that’s it, now everything depends on me, but I really don’t have the time nor the knowledge to take care of a Nextcloud instance at the moment, and besides, I want to clarify that I am not naive, just stupid, since I had my Keepass database synchronized locally on my device with FolderSync but the pressure and the stress of the moment made me forget it.
Thank you!
You could maybe try self hosting it? Must say I tried but gave up in the end, and I’d like to hear about something like Vikunja because it really seems nice
This tutorial worked pretty well for me under Docker:
https://vikunja.io/docs/docker-walkthrough/
I’ve been using vikunja that way for a month or so now.
I might try it on my work pc. The thing that doesn’t work for me is truecharts on truenas, just can’t get it to work and there are no docs.
