In 2024, I went to LA to give a talk about how I made my own cloud storage to backup my pictures, documents, but also the ones of my family. I have chosen Seafile but it didn't work as expected. It filled the disk of my dad. At that time, I was suggested to try Nextcloud.
Today's the day, after 2 years. I've set up the latest docker image, spawned a PostgreSQL database, created some users, directories and uploaded files. Everything went well.
Then I started to install the mobile app to sync pictures from my phone and the desktop app to sync my documents. And things got spicy. The mobile app has uploaded 1200 files in... a day, with hundreds of errors I had to dismiss. The desktop app has uploaded 6 files in an afternoon, out of 1700, then stopped with failure. Why can't we have the performance of rsync with the user fiendly interface of nextcloud?
