  • lespas

    Les Pas, photo album app for Nextcloud user

  • Have you give Les Pas a try?

  • Filestash

    🦄 A modern web client for SFTP, S3, FTP, WebDAV, Git, Minio, LDAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, Mysql, Backblaze, ...

  • Did you try an alternative webdav client? For example, I made Filestash which will make the UI a lot more responsive than the default Nextcloud app. It does handles massive folders of images without breaking a sweat

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • all-in-one

    📦 The official Nextcloud installation method. Provides easy deployment and maintenance with most features included in this one Nextcloud instance.

  • Check out the new Nextcloud AIO. It runs way better than any custom setup server, as it delivers all the server and php settings pre configurated exactly how nextcloud performs best. Since is switched to this nc runs 3x smoother. https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one

  • previewgenerator

    Nextcloud app to do preview generation in the background.

  • 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

  • photoview

    Photo gallery for self-hosted personal servers (by photoview)

  • Then, to visualize those photos I use Photoview because it's simple, clean and adopts the existing folder structure instead of messing with it. It has user accounts and I just set every user's root folder to the corresponding home directory.

  • overseerr

    Request management and media discovery tool for the Plex ecosystem

  • Use Overseerr.

  • osync

    A robust two way (bidirectional) file sync script based on rsync with fault tolerance, POSIX ACL support, time control and near realtime sync

  • I still use it, because that's what I decided to set up after looking around and people raining praise onto it, but I wouldn't ever recommend it. It's a neat project, it does work if you essentially never touch it afterwards, but it's not a useful one as is if you do want to move things around a bit. I'd much rather use anything else, even proprietary solutions, than have to use Syncthing. When I stop lazing about and rebuild my system, I'm probably moving over to osync or something. Better that than Syncthing.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • portainer_templates

    Portainer Version 2 Template and Self-Hosting Cookbook. A Series of Tools, Tutorials/Instructions, and Links to help you create your very own Self-Hosting System and Lab Sandbox! (by mycroftwilde)

  • There may be something on my Portainer Template that could give you some ideas: https://github.com/mycroftwilde/portainer_templates

  • vm

    💻☁📦 The Nextcloud VM (virtual machine appliance), Home/SME Server and scripts for RPi (4). Community developed and maintained.

  • Yes, I wanted a good deployment but didn't want to do it manually again so I looked and found these scripts. They're fantastic, take your input and configures everything for you, redis and all. https://github.com/nextcloud/vm
