desktop VS lespas

Also forget about the automatic upload feature in the Android client, I switched to FolderSync for a reliable experience.

I've managed to get OnlyOffice working, Collabora Office previously broke for some reason. However latest upgrade also broke OnlyOffice. The solution for this is to put the secret and authorization headers into config.php in addition to the OnlyOffice plugin settings. [2] No idea why, but that is a thing.

My Nextcloud runs as a normal PHP application and I haven't had any issues with upgrading yet. Going from, I think, version 23 on Debian 11 to 27.1 now on a different machine running Debian 12 since I started using it.

Maybe I should find something more focused on file syncing, but the all-in-one approach of Nextcloud and its various plugins makes trying some new services very easy.

While reading this article, they were suggesting to modify the maxChunkSize in the Desktop client app configs, problem is, I've had this problem also on mobile... so that's not the solution I need.

I've added a link to this at https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/3912 which appears to be the right ID tracking it, and from what others have said this appears to be isolated to using the Virtual Files feature.

I know about this thread. If you look at the pull request that closes this, you see that this implements support in the clients for manual locking using the file_lock app. File locking like in a remote file system is probably not possible using a sync client (see this comment for example).

Nextcloud has had too many longstanding bugs like the one that mangles metadata, breaks sync, and requires server side intervention to fix [1]. I don’t trust them to do normal sync anymore. There’s no way I’d take the risk of letting them encrypt my data.

They need to slow down on features before tech debt ruins their product (if it hasn’t already).

Very regularly I get conflicts, right after editing a file. I found others having issues such as this Github issue and I tried some of the suggestions but so far none of them helped.

What about Les Pas? https://github.com/scubajeff/lespas

Ever since version 2.0, Les Pas has been able to share albums with other Nextcloud users, you can even co-edit the same album with others if you publish the album as 'Joint Album'. But how about people not in your Nextcloud server, like those friends who attended your wedding? Create temporary guest accounts for them is just not feasible. Photo blog is here to help! And luckily, we have Pico, the stupidly simple & blazing fast, flat file CMS, which happens to have a very good Nextcloud [app]((https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/cms_pico), enable us to publish our own blogs.

Les Pas - Photo Album for Nextcloud (version 2.5.22): A photo album that saves all your precious memory in your private cloud

This release also fixes some other bugs, you can see the detail in the release note.

Congrats! What about SSO from Nextcloud itself? I found this issue for LoginFlow support.

And besides Yaga, these two are also pretty promising. https://github.com/scubajeff/lespas https://github.com/nkming2/nc-photos

Les Pas for Nextcloud can do almost everything you need now except for a auto-refresh photo stream monitoring a shared album. This feature is easy to add. After that, all you need is a android tablet.

A revamped camera roll management UX has just been released in version 2.5.10. All your camera roll backups from all your devices can now be managed in one place. With this, no matter where your photos are, local or remote, regardless been added to an album or not, Les Pas will take care of them.

Les Pas - Photo Album for Nextcloud (version 2.5.8): A photo album that saves all your precious memory in your private cloud

There was a bug introduced in Les Pas v2.5.6 which turns off auto sync after you toggle on auto camera roll backup. Album auto sync gets affected only if you have fiddled with that switch during this period of time. Please upgrade to the latest version 2.5.9 and check your Setting screen. My apology!
