mistborn VS filemanager

Guys, anyone has experience with Mistborn ?

There is a github project that rolls a Nextcloud instance and Jellyfin together in a docker install. It also rolls a bunch more stuff as well. https://gitlab.com/cyber5k/mistborn

try mistborn: https://gitlab.com/cyber5k/mistborn

https://gitlab.com/cyber5k/mistborn has wireguard and valtwarden built-in

So there is one other option you can run with - mistborn. Now, fair warning - if you want to run this on a pi....flash at least 100GB of storage space on a microssd and then for the OS I recommend a Ubuntu flavor of your choice. Ideally the latest one he has listed as successful on his table of distros that he successfully installed it on.

I find the fundamental problem with this sort of server setup script/config management is that they inevitably get quite personal. Nobody really wants to use another devs and when you try to allow for a lot of customisation they tend get byzantine and complex.

That said I still think it's worth sharing. If nothing else we can all usually cherry pick nice ideas from each other.

I had an entirely private set of Ansible roles I'd cobbled together that I started to put in a more shareable state a couple of years ago. It has little overlap with what you're putting together, but I do think you might find the way it separates personal Ansible config and the main project roles into separate directories (and thus different git repos) useful.

I really need to dust off my project and get it to a releasable state this year [momod](https://github.com/adrinux/momod).

I assume you've come across the many similar projects like [Sovereign](https://github.com/sovereign/sovereign), [Mistborn](https://gitlab.com/cyber5k/mistborn)

I've been using selfhosted Nextcloud with OnlyOffice for years. I've yet to encounter something it can't handle. In fact I opened up my setup at the beginning of the pandemic so others could host their own: https://gitlab.com/cyber5k/mistborn

File Browser

Thanks for sharing. I wasn't aware of dufs and it looks very solid. Fileserver[0] is another popular choice, though it's more GUI-oriented for file operations.

The OnlyOfffice desktop app is a pretty good and free alternative to Microsoft Office Suite. You can simply install it on your local machine for offline access.

OnlyOfffice is also self-hostable as a web app for a cloud alternative to Google Sheets.

Filebrowser is a self-hostable alternative to Google Drive.

There's a pull request open to integrate OnlyOffice with Filebrowser for self-hosted google-drive + google docs.

For strictly local use, Google's Nearby share is technically FOSS but the documentation is basically non-existent and a proper Linux implementation is not here yet. Alternatives aren't hard to find though, with Mint's Warpinator or KDE Connect having worked well for me.

For non-local use (everything out of Bluetooth range), you almost have to trust a third party and it really depends on your use case. Want to send your friend a file or host pictures of your birthday for multiple people to download? For the former magic wormhole works great, for the later you could almost spin up a nextcloud or similar (personally I like https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser ). Want to regularly send files from device 1 to device 2? Now classic sync solutions like syncthing become really viable.

If everything else fails, FTP always has your back

I have been looking for a file browser which can run in game mode and is reasonably user friendly for simple file operations (copy/delete/rename, etc). Most people recommend Dolphin. it does work but there are issues: the color scheme looks really weird in game mode. context menu does not like game mode, either. Got file browser working (https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser) in game mode, which essentially an Edge app accessing a web server on localhost (running as user service). It took some time to set up but the end result is exactly what I would like to have.

File Browser - For access to the files on my NAS

filebrowser has user management plus sharing capabilities

Filebrowser suppports multiple shares with different expiration dates. It also offers file previews and generates QR Codes for the shares.

NextCloud is great for this, but if we're talking sharing files from your sync'd project collection, I'd probably instead recommend Filebrowser. You can point it to the same data store that syncthing is using and it'll make it easy to share the projects. Note that in order to do this you'll need to open up and expose filebrowser publicly. The simplest way to do this would probably be a cloudflare tunnel and for sharing files like this ad-hoc I don't see any issues with their TOS. For things like SyncThing though you'll still wanna do conventional port forwarding. the DIY approach instead of CloudFlare tunnel would be to port forward, set up a dynamic dns record, and set up letsencrypt certs
