let me guess you need more for the cloud? nextcloud? some other php slop? why?unix operating systems are already a cloud, they have authentication, users, groups, permissions, files, ability to send messages between users, etc.. the filesystem is a very low level database. most of the stuff you get on something like nextcloud.that's what mainframe computers were. a centralized remote computer that people connected to through physical terminals and worked and collaborated in a multi-user environment.>files and file syncevery user stores their file in their home folder andssh + rsync for syncsftp to mount a remote drive>muh calendar.ics files in a ~/Calendars folder and sync them and open them on your favorite calendar software.>muh contactsliterally text files. either for each contact or a single csv file.>notestext files in ~/Notes>docs an spreadsheets something something.just sync your ~/Documents or mount it and open them in whatever office software you want.>emailsetup postfix with Maildir storage format and you will have your email in your home folder.>but i want to share filesinstall nginx or any http server, create a ~/Share folder in your home owned by the server and drop your files there to share them. and send people a link to access them. you can add password authentication to limit access to only a few people.>muh photo gallery somethingjust files in your home ~/Pictures, sync them or mount the folder and open them in your local gallery app.let me guess you need more? all you need is ssh. a lightweight http server and a postfix+dovecot server (optional) to replace 100% of shit like google or nextcloud.
>>108533419Are you trying to sell me a Solaris license?
>>108533419s3 is much cheaper than a full machine you can ssh to.And syncthing is better for syncing files than scp / rsync is.
>>108533419I can't afford vps space, but this is basically how I do home computing, though I just scp stuff I need. I only log into the shell if I need it. I don't do home-grown email.
>>108533419ssh lets you run shit on the remote host, you don't want that for a cloud
>>108533419>muh sshbloat, just use nfs if you're "muh flat files"-ing everything anyway
>>108533814Nah, I'll just use my ssh keys and scp -r
>>108533419Isn't this what most admins already do? I'm confused.
>>108533814Why? Properly using and setting up NFS is a lot harder than fuse based sftp filesystem.
>>108533886>scpdeprecated
>>108533954When?
