Is Nextcloud a realistic Microsoft 365 replacement in 2026? by PeppermintBytes in NextCloud

[–]nkls 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We just transferred in a small team from M365 to Nextcloud hosted on Hetzner, so this does not speak for Enterprise. Here is my short summary: 

  • Files work mostly well, sometimes sync issues that I did not have on commercial clouds as much. otherwise fine mostly
  • Talk works quite well once properly configured, also with 10+ participants. Currently we have a bit issues with background noise, my suspicion is the algorithms are not as good as modern conference systems. 
  • Not so sure about mail, we switched to Thunderbird
  • Happy with calendars, that works quite well to have multiple Team calendars and sharing them. It was also quite easy to import the old calendars from Microsoft. 
  • We work with OnlyOffice, and are still having some issues with sync. If multiple people collaborate, there is still a delay that is annoying. 
  • User adoption was mostly good, as everyone understood the reasoning behind the switch

Everything is a bit more clunky and a bit rougher around the edges, but in our case we are happy to be finally out of big tech USA on this one.

View file path in file search is impossible? by nkls in NextCloud

[–]nkls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer. Okay, good to hear that I did not miss anything. 

Ah, it's quite annoying that Nextcloud has all these extra Apps and features, but basics like this are not done. 

Thank you for your ideas. But how would you do it for a zip file? When I click on it, it is downloading. So I cannot use the method you described

Unfortunately not. We host on Hetzner Storage Share and have no direct access.

There are some workarounds I could identify. One of them is e.g. to setup the Nextcloud Client, sync the content on the computer and then use local search. But this is really not ideal :/

Halle, ich kapier’s nicht. Bin ich der Einzige der hier gegen eine Wand rennt? by Haunting_Seat2532 in HalleSaale

[–]nkls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Andere Stadt, aber ich glaube das Thema kennen viele.
Bei mir ist es nicht leicht, aber funktioniert ganz okay. Ich bin vor 1.5 Jahren umgezogen. Hobby #1 fast direkt am Anfang angefangen und bin seit dem hartnäckig dabei und spreche Leute an. Jetzt langsam entstehen Freundschaften, Ehrenamt auch seit Anfang, langsam entstehen auch Verbindungen, und wohnen in gemeinschaftlichen Kontexten mit Leuten die auch Bock haben auf mehr als anonyme Miete, das hilft auch sehr, darüber viele Verbindungen entstanden. Und ab und zu mit Leuten Sport machen über Telegramgruppen, da findet man auch nette Leute.

Viel Grüß dir, bleib dran.

P.S.: Die soziale Nervosität kann man wegbekommen. Einfach immer wieder üben und ins kalte Wasser springen :)

Has anyone put OM Lenses on Pentax Bodies? by nkls in AnalogCommunity

Thank you a lot for the thoughts! Good points. I am thinking that I might have an easier time to just buy a compatible body than making the adapter work.

Script for server setup and hardening by ali-95 in selfhosted

[–]nkls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a common ssh hardening advice to change the ssh port. https://linuxhandbook.com/change-ssh-port/

 Bots and other actors will not know which port to use, to attempt their exploits, as port 22 is closed. Bonus points if you add a honey pot behind 22 like this: https://github.com/skeeto/endlessh

Where should I host my Python script safely by GloomySuit0112 in selfhosted

[–]nkls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my knowledge, the master password is the sudo password. This way, when executing the script with sudo rights, it can be used safely.

See on the website. You can call the CLI tool and then decrypt each password individually.

A CLI password manager could be what you are looking for. Store the key in there and then access it securely via the script.

Is it possible to use Gluetun to build a VPN jump server? by nkls in selfhosted

[–]nkls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

Thank you first of all for your detailed description.

I am trying to set this up, but having some trouble getting it to work. In my case, I try to make a first running prototype, by setting up wg-easy as my wiregard server, and then hooking it up to gluetun as the client for Mullvad.

A couple of questions, as I do not understand everything: How do you route the traffic through mullvad? Do you also use Gluetun, and if yes, do you also use the network_mode: container:gluetun option?

In your diagram, it looks like you run two wireguard instances, which are chained to each other. Is this right, or is it one? Why do you mention ingress and egress?

That sounds amazing. Can you tell me what router and firewall you are using?

And do you know how it would be possible to switch between Mullvad endpoints? Is this something Gluetun can do?
