There are already a few posts floating around Reddit about Freedombox and Nextcloud (including integrating Nextcloud as an application within Freedombox), but when you take the self-hosting option of Nextcloud, they become comparable options for a self-hosting solution, right? Both provide prefabricated hardware options, and both include a suite of apps. . . . So I am wondering, assuming you choose to self-host with Nextcloud, what are the reasons to prefer one over the other?
umbrel (I believe this still doesn’t provide tls security so best to use lan only or over tor)
Whereas nextcloud is a service that integrates plugin support at a higher level using it’s own api (which is why those apps tend to break with upgrades).
So, nextcloud is a subset of systems like freedombox which allow easy installation of services like nextcloud. I don’t think freedombox includes nextcloud in their apps list, but I know yunohost does and pretty sure cloudron too.
Here’s a crusty list that I’ve accumulated over the years. Numbers and notes could be outdated or incomplete and perhaps even inaccurate (always verify things yourself). Some projects may be defunct others might just be bare bones scripts to make things like SSH easier. Others seem to bleed into categories like networking which I need to clean up.
