A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I want to selfhost cloud drive and looking for what would be the best option. I originally used Nextcloud, but it has a lot of features not related to file hosting so I would be interested in something simpler. I found out about Cozy Cloud (https://cozy.io) but there is really little info about that. Has anyone used that and how does it compare to Nextcloud?

I never heard of Cozy, but it looks quite nice. The Self-Hosting Documentation ist a bit lacking, but https://github.com/cozy/cozy-stack-compose contains all required information to set it it up yourself.

Cozy seems to be in a similar situation, where file storage is just one of many features that it provides. If you want just files, it might be the best idea to just use any WebDAV Server or something like File Browser.
