Hello! How are folks self-hosting online storage, similar to Google Drive?

Some options I've found:

A bunch more: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#file-transfer---web-based-file-managers

I mainly just need basic file management features. I don't plan to share files outside of my tailscale VPN. I do need to support multiple users though.

I'm not considering Nextcloud because that seems too big. I'm also not considering syncthing for this project because I don't want copies on multiple devices.

I'm currently just using ssh+nautilus and that's worked great for just me, but something similar to Google Drive would be easier to onboard my family.

    Have you ever used OwnCloud, before the fork?

    I hated administrating OwnCloud, and that's kept me away from NextCloud. OwnCloud was a big, resource hogging, hot mess; did NextCloud do a huge refactor and clean it up?

    I didn't use OwnCloud, but I haven't had much issue with Nextcloud. I run it bare metal on a pi 4 and haven't had issues with resource hogging. Getting php to work when the update to php 8 was a bit of a pain but eventually figured it out.
