sovereign VS NextCloudPi

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)

You could also check out the Sovereign project on github which automatically sets up a home server including xmpp serivce.

Shoutout to Sovereign[1] nice ansible project to automate most of this kind of home setup

It works great and is reasonably fast if you connect it over ethernet. If you have a newer firmware, which has already enabled the boot from SSD on your pi it is super easy (otherwise just Google how to set up boot from ssd with a microSD). Afterwards you can use the raspberry pi flashing tool to flash the image of nextcloudpi on your ssd. This includes the 64bit raspberry pi OS, a running Nextcloud instance and some other handy tools (like help to set up security features). The first setup can be done with the IP adress of your Pi in an internet browser of a device in your network. Here is the link to the image of NextcloudPi https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi

Issue 2 still persists and after digging around found this issue reported on git https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi/issues/1752 but cant figure out how to sort it

Install nextcloudpi (https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi) Install Nextcloud app on your phone.

If you want to update faster than the docker image is published, you'll have to build the image locally: https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi

My best experience in out of the box comes from Nextcloudpi: https://nextcloudpi.com/

Nextcloud is functionally similar to Dropbox, Office 365 or Google Drive but is self-hosted so you are in control of your data. This version is a lightly-forked version of NextCloudPi, which was developed for SBCs like the Raspberry Pi. Only a few changes from upstream and some SysV initscripts were required to get this working nicely in Linux Deploy.
