Yeah, I'm leaning toward this option tbh.
If we got to the point where popular machines had custom images with all the necessary extra drivers etc, it might be a value add. But for now I'm not seeing a huge benefit
Yeah, thinking I might have to do something similar to start the services after login. Unfortunately they need to run as root, so it'll be tricky to avoid having a second password prompt every time I login
Some updates after sleeping on it and trying some morning debugging:
Maybe it's time to go back to debian...
Was trying to install guix on top of fedora silverblue. It's kinda working, but not exactly stable...
man 1 git-gud
Keep the files in a dedicated torrents folder then make symlinks to where you actually want them?
Be aware there are basically two different things called Owncloud. There's still the original php version, which is similar to nextcloud but worse (not open source, smaller plugin ecosystem I think)
On the other hand is owncloud "infinite scale" (or ocis). This is the thing entirely written in go. But as others have pointed out, it's little more than a file server at this point.
IMO the self-hosting community is really missing a self-contained "all the DAVs" server (files, calendar, contacts). Baikal etc seem like a great start, but it would be great to have somewhere to get those parts pre-assembled. Until then, nextcloud works for me.
There's a river Foss that runs through York. Brings a new meaning to sending patches upstream...
