Anyone in here host their own cloud services?

I recently became interested in nextcloud from a reddit post. Seems simple enough...host your own cloud services, hook up your devices, own your data.

Anyway I stood up a vm with a cloud provider (digitalocean) and provisioned
it with a registered domain and nginx. I use nginx to terminate ssl. I have installed the 'snap' for nextcloud, and reverse proxy the connection from inbound :443 to my arbitrary internal :81 for nextcloud. Works a treat!

It's a bit sluggish at times but still better than doing things on google.

Anyway, one of the expectations I have is to be able to run some sort of
cloud office software to collaborate with some folks, in my own server. I
read that onlyoffice is the best, most up to date. So, I installed a docker package for onlyoffice, running on port 8080.

Now, I forward onlyoffice.mywebsite.com to 8080, mywebsite.com to 81, www.mywebsite.com to 81...I can hit the landing page for onlyoffice and run some smoke tests against the server. Unfortunately, for some reason, the glue between nextcloud and onlyoffice won't work. I've been working on this for hours. Giving up for the night...it's frustrating. I filed a bug with the onlyoffice devs on github, hopefully they reply.

Anyone else using a roll your own cloud?

Yup, both personally and at work. My personal setup is small, just my family but at work we run 3 of them clustered with a frontend proxy for about 400 users. It works real well.

We don't really have may plugins running and don't do much beyond the cloud file storage aspects of owncloud, but I have been a big fan for years now.

Hi

run some smoke tests against the server. Unfortunately, for some reason, the glue between nextcloud and onlyoffice won't work. I've been working
on this for hours. Giving up for the night...it's frustrating. I filed a bug with the onlyoffice devs on github, hopefully they reply.

I don't have enought info, but if you are using different domains and HTTPS probably your browser is blocking the comunication between the two components due a Cross Domain policy.

Is your browser's Javascript console giving some kind of error or warning ?

I'm not familiar with Onlyoffice but I use Nextcloud a lot and have actually cancelled my Dropbox account after 5-6 years (at least). Nextcloud works great and I used to run Owncloud, from which Nextcloud is a fork, and Nextcloud works way better.

Yes, I've been running owncloud now for about five years on a retired corporate workstation. I maxxed the ram on it, installed a four terabyte drive, and pointed my domain to my home. It works great for my home pc, laptop, tablet. It runs ubuntu server LTS and also use it to store a media server called ampache. The box does double duty but i'm the only user so no big whoop. It's been my workhorse. I never have to worry abotu backing my devices up because the home directories are stored in full so... Sometimes i have a wild hair and will do a complete reinstall of teh OS and, after about 30 minutes, the new OS is synching my files. Within the hour it's like it was before wipeout.

Nothing like your own cloud.

I've been evaluating nextcloud. Haven't committed to the plunge, but it is enticing.
