Hello everyone,

Since my daughter was born I am searching for a solution to share pictures of our child with my wife and create a copy of each smartphones photos and other files (documents). At first I tried nextcloud, but there is a lot of overhead and the administration feels kind of complex for what I need.

Anyone else having some input on which software to use?

So my main goal is:

Software running on raspberry pi (preferable docker). Has abilities like shared folder where pictures and documents get uploaded from multiple users and can be viewed (collaboration editing is not needed). Automatically copy files from smartphone (android) to raspberry from selected folder for a simple redundancy.

You are probably right... I did spend two hours today trying to get it running in my current docker environment and couldn't get it running... That's when I decided to look for somethinfg else...

Happy to share the docker-compose.yml I'm using for my setup. It includes OnlyOffice so that I can edit files internally, Google Dcos style. You can skip that section and remove the oonet network definition if you don't need/want it. You'll want to change the volume mount paths (or define volumes if you'd rather not use bind mounts) and change the 'supersecretpasswordhere' to something actually uh, secure.

Anyway, file is at https://thecloud.home.uncomfortable.business/s/32HoxHajW33PRbf

Thank you very much! But seems like the file is not accessable

Ugh, not the best marketing for Nextcloud to have a public share not work, lol. It seems like 25% of people just can't see them but they work for everyone else so who knows.

Anyway, have a pastebin instead: https://pastebin.com/zPyvgxYX

What part were you getting hung up on?

[-] zipping2583@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

First i tried nextcloudpi image but couldn't get it to run with beneath pihole (same raspi).

Then I tried the AIO Image, this one seems to not even start at all. I found I have to open ports on the router. Will try again later this day.

To avoid opening ports, have a look at Cloudflare tunnel.
