Plus, Nextcloud is already recommended in the Productivity Section

Maybe you missed a post and that’s the one you were going to comment on?

Does anyone know of a privacy focused CRM?

I’m using OnlyOffice DocSpace and looking for free alternatives. Does Monday provide the same type of use as this version of OnlyOffice? I’m open to alternatives, and open to advice on the privacy policy of OnlyOffice DocSpace Free (cloud).

Remove Nextcloud

Nextcloud really cannot be recommendion in my eyes. I myself run 3 servers (of which one hosted by Nextcloud), one myself and one by Hetzner, and I really had my fare share of issues and I cannot say I would recommend it to anyone.

Now obviously that could have been done a lot better, but not they will always be able to see your data. It isn’t privacy friendly.

How do you set up and self-host Nextcloud?

I’m wanting to self-host Nextcloud as I’ve heard that it is the best solution for privacy and owning your data. So my goal is to completely own my data. I am completely new to self-hosting and I don’t know where to start. I don’t have any knowledge about self-hosting or Linux servers. I’ve tried looking for guides online but I can’t seem to find a clear cut guide on how to self-host, starting from no knowledge on how to do it. How can I get started? Are there any easy to follow guides out th…

And so on.
