Is anyone here using NextCloud for extended family chat/photo/whatever?

Thoughts?

Our family cloud to share all documents related to house car loan and for children studies is a self hosted nextcloud.
Some other tools too but nextcloud is really the only one to be daily used.

I would recommand a #yunohost + #nextcloud app on a raspberry 5 with an external ssd and an hdd to another computer for backups.
If multiple members of the family want to join and have there own home, i would recommand to acquire each a raspberry pi and do ciphered backups using borg apps to othet member of family.

@scuttlebutt a little bit. Really depends on what your family uses and needs. Mine hasn't stuck much with Talk, but Files and Deck have been great, sharing features especially. OnlyOffice backed by Nextcloud has filled the need for a browser-based document editor a la Google Docs, but only for me I think.

Talk needs a STUN+TURN setup for calls which I don't have and don't have the guts to set up properly; and where I'm at (Russia) access to public/default options is getting increasingly scarce as the government keeps tightening internet restrictions to herd everyone to government-controlled platforms. It's… a fun environment to adapt to, in its own morbid way.

Practically everything offering voice&video calls needs STUN&TURN though, so… we've kinda postponed that bit for now and settled on just not having that for a while. Messages, including with voice and video, travel across Matrix fine for now, so that's what we have.

We use NextCloud for our immediate family. We use Matrix for chat, not NextCloud.

Our NextCloud server does not currently see heavy usage, but I am hoping to integrate it with GrapheneOS devices and use NextCloud for Contacts, Calendar and other things for family members with mobile devices with GrapheneOS (or other DeGoogled OS).

I do use NextCloud every day for my work calendar.

@artlog I have more than enough capability to self host stuff on my Synology, like this instance I'm posting from. It's already backed up offsite sufficiently too.
