Because an android client is one of my requirements. I can get files from SMB on Android using any number of file managers, but I can’t map a SMB share to a filesystem so files are available for an app to use.

Yes! There used to be a little utility that could map a SMB share in Android, but that got killed years ago.

So, use something else

That’s why I’m here - looking for suggestions

like Seafile.

I’ll have another look - you’re not the only person to suggest it. My recollection is that it seemed to be old and not really maintained.

I’ve never used the AIO image. I’ve heard it’s weird.

It does seem to be. So, I find it weird that the “core” documentation leads a new user to installing AIO.

You could also try OpenCloud, which is a Go rewrite of ownCloud.

Sounds interesting - thanks.

You need to understand the difference between a docker run command, and detaching to run a container in the background. Just running it with ‘run’ keeps it in the foreground.

Yes, I understand this. I was just highlighting that it’s not a great experience for a new user to follow the instructions to setup a server and be left with it running in the foreground.

For the passphrase issue: https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/discussions/1786

Thanks! This should get me past my current hurdle so I can do some more testing. Again - not a great experience to have to come to a forum to get help to find a passphrase. I’m pretty sure I didn’t miss any steps?

Lastly, if you’re not familiar with containers, and this is a single purpose machine, you’d be better off just running the bare project on the host. If there’s no need for containerization, just skip it.

I’m familiar with containers, but think they’re overused. Stupid little things that are a single Python script (for example) shipping as a Docker image! But, I thought Nextcloud was complex enough to be worthy of a container? This is not a single purpose machine, but I’m an old, retired, sysadmin - I have no problem running a few different servers on the same host.

Are you referring to the “Archive” Community Project installation method?

Use docker or podman compose https://hub.docker.com/_/nextcloud/

I could do that - I guess I was just pointing out that someone coming to Nextcloud and following the install instructions does not have a great experience.

Nextcloud does not need a domain. Ip is fine.

So, their documentation is wrong?

https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one?tab=readme-ov-file#can-i-use-an-ip-address-for-nextcloud-instead-of-a-domain

Again - not a great experience for a first time user.

I think that’s only part of it. The really disturbing thing is that a significant number of his supporters actually want this and he needs to keep doing it to keep them on side.

what gets removed along with cron when you try?

# apt-get --dry-run purge cron cron-daemon-common
Reading package lists... Done

nothing!

And the people of the USA are not the US government and yet I’m boycotting all US products. I feel really bad about it sometimes because some US products I’m no longer buying come from small, ethical (on paper at least) employee owned companies. But as someone who is not in the US, this is the only action I can take in response to the US government.

If people from Israel would like to holiday in the Maldives then they have a bit of work to do. Step 1 is to overthrow their fascist government.

Does not seem be work universally - I use Jerboa on android and just see “_pp” (tilde pp tilde)

Mark my words, Trump will not let go gently come 2029.

That’s the most depressing thing I’ve read for a long time. Even in the best case scenario we’re stuck with this bullshit until twenty twenty fucking nine!!

Yeah. Someone else suggested it might cover your first ambulance ride. I’m thinking maybe your first year health insurance?

Probably basmati

As an Australian living in Canada, I’m far from an expert on this stuff, but it seems to me the main benefit of something like this is visibility - he had (I believe) 10s of millions of views over the various platforms it was streaming on. Hopefully some of those people were not previously engaged and now are. It’s a start.

Lol - my wife has a 6 Pro - that’s the fancy new phone in the house

This is what it feels like. But if it is Doze then it’s really broken - because it happens when my phone is plugged in and charging!

And if they don’t like the look of you, or your proof of citizenship, and decide detain and deport you - what recourse do you have?

Thanks - I found those suggestions some time ago when I first started having these issues. Every battery optimisation setting I can find, including the ones in that article, is off.

I’m on lemmy.ca too. I almost exclusively do Lemmy with the Jerboa app on my phone which has a setting to automatically mark as read on scroll. I thought the web interface did this too, but I can’t see it. Now I’m confused 🤔

I’m aware of the battery issue. Mine is one of the near bricked ones. I’m down to about 50% before I finish breakfast and coffee most days! I’m home most of the time so it’s not a big deal - I can charge often. If I leave home it’s in a car so I can charge while travelling etc. Because of where I live a replacement battery wasn’t an option. I’ve been wanting to do it myself but the kits are out of stock ever since the announcement.

Someone else noted that their Pixel 3a is still going strong and this prompted me to recheck everything. We’ll see how it goes.

I’m not just holding on to it to keep it out of landfill - although that is certainly a consideration. I really like it - the size is right etc. My wife has a Pixel 6 Pro and it’s huge. There are no new options close to this size. I am keeping an eye out for a local used Pixel 7a and will do that if I find one at a reasonable price.
