That is the example they gave in the article…

I think we are still in an age where few women were encouraged to do technical things growing up, and found those subjects later in school, university or work. I suspect that will change over the next ten years.

Are there any downsides to this? Why isn’t it default if it is so drastically better?

To be honest I’m not interested in the file sharing side of nextcloud as I use Syncthing, I’m more interested in the utilities (eg notes, kanban) and the office capabilities. I want to replace gsuite

I use Syncthing for my files, I don’t need a Web ui so it’s great and handles huge directories easily.

Yes I have 8gb of ram, but it seems insane that it needs that much considering what it is doing.

I’m not using a Pi, I’m using a j4125 based mini computer, which has made a big difference but the performance just still is not good enough.

The documentation says nginx is not officially supported: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/19/admin_manual/installation/nginx.html

I am using mariadb

From the instructions it looked like anything other than the default ports is not supported in AIO. I want to host other sites on this server without much complication.

It’s on a SATA drive, albeit hard drive not ssd and I’m using mariadb. Everybody seems to suggest I need a beefier server but as a developer myself, the functionality of the software doesn’t seem to warrant anything more powerful.

I strongly disagree with this, any error message shown to the user should be helpful to the user

Pi hole will be absolutely fine. Nextcloud is unusuably slow on my Raspi 3b so it’s definitely not going to work on a zero. Jellyfin is definitely a no also unfortunately.

Yeah I think I would combine it with synching and back in time for redundancy and backup

I’ve been using Google photos for years but I’m pretty keen to move to something open source and self hosted
