Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

People talk a lot of smack on snap, but installed the nextcloud snap 5 years ago to check out nextcloud and see if I liked it. I did, and the snap was so easy that it stuck around for 5 years. I didn't do anything except update the underlying OS. It is really well maintained.
I just migrated off of it to get a little more flexability, but I have nothing but good things to say about it.
I couldn't make things easy for myself when I migrated, because I wanted to use postgres, while the snap uses mysql/mariadb and I wanted S3 storage instead of file system.
In the end I just pulled down all the user filed and exported the calendars and contacts manually, then imported them on the new instance.
There are some blog posts on migrating db types, but my install is very minimal and I just didn't want the headache.
If you don't want to change the database type, then you can just dump the db from the snap, backup the user file directory, then restore into the new database and rsync up all the files.
