I just read about people struggling with Next loud in the OpenDesk thread and wanted to share this in case someone is interested in contributing to this project.
Looks really nice and seems like it should be a great foundation for future development. Personally I can’t lose Nextcloud until there are sufficiently featureful and reliable clients for Linux, Windows, Android that synchronize a local copy and help manage the inevitable file deconfliction (Nextcloud Desktop only barely qualifies at this, but it does technically qualify and that represents the minimum viable product for me). I’m not sure a WebDav client alone is enough to satisfy this criteria, but I am not going to pretend I am actually familiar with any WebDav clients so maybe they already exist.
Checkout opencloud, owncloud clients are compatible with it
Are they? I did not know that! This changes things.
Im using the android client no problem. Not sure about the the desktop ones, if you want I cant do some basic testing and report back, just let me know which clients
That is super kind of you!
I’m not sure which clients. I haven’t installed opencloud, because I didn’t see any clients for it on a cursory look. I tried nextcloud, but it kept failing after updates, so now I just use cron jobs to automate manual backup scripts I wrote to an external HDD. If you do test any desktop OC clients and find any “good enough” ones, I’ll start with it : ) and if you don’t get to test any, know that I still truly appreciate your offer!
Had today some time to take the linux desktop client for a test drive. It works without problem.
It is a appimage wich is for my taste not idea but it works.
This is the OwnCloud appimage that worked with the OpenCloud server, right? That’s awesome! I’ll spin my server back up and set up OpenCloud. Thanks!!
