Situation: we live in europe, there’s PRISM and Privacy Shield and all that, to which selfhosting is the solution. Now, my sister, mostly on Apple, got concerned with all the hacks and privacy violations over the years. She’s a tech noob, so i can’t really recommend her prism-break.org
There’s a bunch of hosted solutions geared towards small to medium business, like Univention Corporate Server, NethServer, etc.
Are there similiar bundles for private use, basically Apple cloud alternative? With services like cloud storage, cloud office, media share, maybe chat, videocall?
Or should i let her wait until i got my box up, VPN her over? I’m only semi-professional tho.
NextCloud
Expect bugs because NC is a pile of crap. She will get very annoyed, not even other payed cloud services come close to the level of integration Apple provides.
It takes time and skill to maintain. Totally worth it but don’t jump in without expecting some hurtles.
Side note: make sure you backup the database as well as the files. I’ve scene a lot of people lose data because they didn’t backup the database.
I guess you don’t want e2ee
Technically it does support it. However, why would you bother.
It breaks a lot of things when you turn it on. It doesn’t really work. It is off by default for a reason
NextCloud doesn’t support e2ee
Nextcloud does support e2ee but it is useless as it is web based. It isn’t really needed anyway as it is self hosted.
What makes you think your next cloud instance isinvulnerable to being hacked??
Of course client-side encryption is a must
It isn’t invulnerable
