    I haven't had issues with syncing files on android. File sync is literally the only feature I use, so I should probably look for a simpler solution.

    Now upgrading the fucking thing is a nightmare, not sure if me using docker images makes it worse or better though.

    Just use the docker AIO image.

    I do, and if you accidentally skip a version when updating it the stupid thing bricks itself, what kind of stupid software can't handle multiple make version updates.

    Had to manually reset the version it thinks it was at and roll back to a older sticker image and update one version at a time until I caught up.

    This one? It was only started a couple years ago, I'm not even sure there's been multiple major version changes since it was put out and generally available.

    I wish tried it. The thing implied twice and I had to start from scratch. Not exactly "smooth". Went to a full manual install, which is better but still very far from "good" or "stable".

    Unless something changed in the last few weeks, Android app can't do bidirectional folder sync like you're used to from Google drive, Dropbox or one drive. You can mark a folder for "sync", but try copying something into it, it changing an existing file: no change on the server. I think you can manually open the app, navigate to the folder and open the menu to "sync", but what the hell is the point in having it marked to be synced then? I wanted to use it for my keepass DB for example, where that would be a requirement.

    Yes, updates are a nightmare. I'm not on docker (also not sure if better or worse) and every 2nd update sometime significantly breaks that I have to fix manually. Last time, the "group folders" plugin (official, from the Nextcloud devs) broke it so bad that Nextcloud wouldn't even start. I had to go into maintenance mode, disable the plug-in ("app" I guess it's the term?), update it from console, re-enable it, disable maintenance mode. Not pictured: finding out what the god damn problem was this time. I've just about had it...

    We'll see if your reading comprehension liabilities extend to self-hosting.

    Seafile is extremely easy to set up and does one thing and one thing well.

    It does store your data as binaries, so it would be a bit harder to restore than Nextcloud due to that, but I've never had an issue with seafile.

    Of course, I didn't have a problem with Nextcloud until an upgrade borked the installation bad enough that even restoring from backup couldn't solve the issue.
