Is there a way to self-host nextcloud by downloading one file, docker container, .nzb, .jpg, ANYTHING that includes all these parts and can just plug in and run? Is that a thing, or do all self-hosters spend every waking hour sudo updating?

Currently dealing with this nonsense,

and this accompanying nonsense:

I want my docs and files on a self-hosted cloud (I can't seem to get sftp, ftp, or sharing to work on windows 11 even after adding the missing features) , with the ability to at least open the contents without downloading them. I want to stop using google for calendars and notes, and it would be handy to have a self-hosted bulletin board I and my added users could write on.

According to the box, nextcloud does all these things, except that it doesn't, without practically rewriting the code and somehow re-engineering linux to not be a fucking cunt.

I was trying for the 3rd time to install the collabora office app in nextcloud. I think it's hilarious they know it's going to time out and they give you a bogus command to run to fix it. So unnecessarily irritating.

Seriously homie, unless you're a fucking linux docker nerdshit wizard, you should find another way.

If Nextcloud "caused total data loss on all my synced devices and the server itself" I would probably do something unsavory to any responsible party I could locate, and take 10 TB of data out of their lousy hide.

Did you find a self-hosted solution?

Dude- it's like you're reading my mind. I've installed Nextcloud 4 different times, the most recent being on docker desktop in Win11. I've resorted to using chatgpt to help me with the commands. LITERALLY EVERY STEP RESULTS IN AN ERROR. The Collabora office suite (necessary to view or edit cloud docs without downloading them) WILL NOT DOWNLOAD. The "php -d memory_limit=512M occ app:install richdocumentscode" chatgpt and Nextcloud suggest is not recognized by the terminal. You can't just download Collabora, cuz fuck you, i guess, and you can't access Docker's actual file system from windows explorer.

I've typed nonsense into various black screens for upward of 20 hours now, and nextcloud is "working" locally. I can access my giant hard drive from my android nextcloud app, but it's SLOW AS FUCK.

I can't imagine how many man-hours it would take to open the server to the internet. Makes me want to fucking barf just thinking about it.

I've been fucking with Linux since 2005 and have yet to get a single thing to work correctly. I guess I'm the only one who thinks an (mostly) invisible file system in incomprehensible repetitive folders, made of complete nonsense commands might not be the best way to operate a computer system.

I'm really frustrated if you can't tell.

On another topic, trying to get Ollama to run on my Lubuntu VM was also impossible. I guess if everyone knew it was going to force you to somehow retroactively configure every motherfucking aspect of the install nobody would bother. You can sudo all day and it still denies me permission to do things LISTED IN THE MOTHERFUCKING DOCUMENTATION.

Is this all just low-effort poorf** bullshit that doesn't actually work?

Good thing that isn't what i said.

That immigration from the third world is good for every country except Israel.

1. $40 ain't doing shit
2. EBT can be spent on almost anything, so there's no guarantee this isn't just buying your sidechick a steak.
3. The grocery store is, just like everything else in the US, a fucking scam. Most of the items aren't nutritious at all, repackaging salt, sugar, and corn into a thousand shapes and flavors. It tastes good, so people buy it because they're fucking stupid, and the ones that aren't were taught a fucked food pyramid that prioritized protein and carbs because of corruption.
4. We're fucked lads. The kids are double fucked and don't have any idea.
5. CO2 is a painless death.
