previewgenerator VS Filestash

Next thing would be to install the "preview generator" app, as it will generate the preview images in the background and when you scroll through your photos it will use the smaller preivew images. https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/previewgenerator

To make it a better, you could run the app Preview generator: it will generate a thumbnail at the size you want (e.g. 300x300) for each photo. At least, the thumbnails would show quickly. It can take some time and CPU, so preferably run it at night.

As far as i know this is currently not implemented. Here is a ticket of what one would need to do.

Runs just like the other preview backends, if you want it to run on a schedule use previewgenerator

https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/previewgenerator Pre-generates previews, can be scheduled.

You could also use the preview generator app to pre-generate your thumbnails (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/previewgenerator). I have mine on a cron job running every 5 mins.

you can download and enable preview generator from apps section and can run a cron job for generating new previews when new files are added.. https://github.com/nextcloud/previewgenerator

You can use this and setup a cronjob but it is a bit of an odd way of doing it: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/previewgenerator

Filestash — A Dropbox-like file manager that connects to a range of protocols and platforms: S3, FTP, SFTP, Minio, Git, WebDAV, Backblaze, LDAP and more.

I made https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash out of the need to collaborate on org mode documents with non emacs users. Once the first release was done, I got to reflect on the infamous top comment of the Dropbox HN to make an attempt at abstracting the storage aspect of Dropbox so those org document could be made stored on a FTP server, SFTP, S3, ....

> we need an abstraction for just this. "Bring your own storage"

I made exactly this: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash and there's an API from which you can abstract any kind of storage: S3, SFTP, FTP, GIT, WebDav, Samba, Local FS, NFS, Backblaze, Storj, Artifactory, .... There's even some funky ones like Mysql from which you have an abstraction where first level folders are databases, second level folders are tables and files are the actual rows

Yes, I rewrote my react app onto vanilla JS using nothing else than rxjs, didn't have the time to document it all yet but it looks like this: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/blob/master/pub...

I'm not familiar with Cloudreve, but FileStash is a similar application often recommended on this subreddit.

I do use them on my OSS work (https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/tree/master/pub...) which is used by many thousands of people

This is what I wish Dropbox was, a simple layer that make interacting with your FTP server easy so nobody has to own your data. The end game is both to be feature complete with Dropbox and be able to change every aspect of the application through plugin so everyone can get out what they want from it.

> but I don't think its the companies responsibility to give back to open source just because they use it

As someone who does quite a bit of OSS, the reality is most people are asking for things but aren't willing to pay for it. Take Microsoft, I had one of their employee asking me to support their azure stuff: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/issues/180. When I found out the dude was actually employed by Microsoft, he started to talk some nonsense and ended up running away.
