So I want to build a home server to use as a media server, and to back up my photos etc.
I am also currently doing an online course, and happen to spend some time at work as well as at home working on it. I don’t like using Google where I can help it, but I find google docs really useful. So I’m wondering if there’s an open source application that works essentially the same, but I could run off my own server? It would have to be web-based as I use Windows at work and can’t install new programs :/
edit: Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I’ve got quite a few leads to follow now, it should be fun!
Nextcloud is laggy and bloated, would not recommend
Good application but performance sucks
What you mean bloated? It is laggy in web browser, but using client apps solve that problem. It would be awesome if its more snappy, but I couldnt find anything better for my needs. What do you use?
I was running the desktop app and the web app. I meant the server is laggy, though as it was melting my raspberry pi down to do something I could achieve with much lighter weight tools
Running on a raspberry pi it was struggling to serve even one user
Sounds like someone wasn’t using redis
You got me there
I was also running it on a pi 4 though because I don’t want a high powered machine sucking up energy and kicking out heat 24/7
Give redis a try, it significantly sped up the user experience in my testing.
