taquiones.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Depends on use case. In my company, we have:
1. File sharing internally, within teams
2. File sharing to external people, mainly customers
3. Collaborative document editing
4. Kanban deck
#Nextcloud by @nextcloud does that, in a slightly complex and clumsy way. But I'm not aware of good alternatives and so far, it works pretty fine for my employer.

@nextcloud Hey. I asked my University to consider using #nextcloud. Can you guys reach out to them and help them make a decision? It would be very good for students to ditch out proprietary software. The university is AGH Kraków.
Hi beautiful people, especially those in and around #Berlin - we're hosting a #Nextcloud meetup next week Feb 18. And even better, it's on the day of the release so it'll be a full-blown release party!!!!
Join us in the center of Berlin, station Friedrichstraße, at 7PM for fun and drinks!
https://help.nextcloud.com/t/berlin-nextcloud-community-meetup/238227/2
> how you like to discover the updates
Other: Mailing lists. For new release announcements, for user-to-user support, for development discussions. With a mailing list I get the info in my own client software, configured my way, and don't have to log into a different system for each project.
With the right software the same info can be delivered by e-mail, in forums, as blog posts, RSS feeds, even as #ActivityPub messages. No, I don't know any software that does it all.
Okay, heeeeelp, how the fuck am I supposed to upload almost 230k photos from iCloud Photos to my NAS?
Considering that:
Someone help should I just accept that I'll just lose 230k pictures because no one seems to make a software that works properly???

From own experience, small tip for anybody upgrading #nextcloud and seeing the process stuck in the last step (updating database schema):
It is *really* slow, even for a small / vanilla instance, and does not provide adequate warning to that effect.
Let it run for hours (overnight) before assuming the installation is broken 🤦 and embarking on time-consuming reinstalls...
Bueno pues al final boy a intentar sincronizar mis notas de #joplin y mis contraseñas de #keepass con #syncthings. De esta manera nunca estarán en la nube, solo en mis dispositivos y encriptadas.
0 euros de coste quitando las donaciones que he hecho a los 3 proyectos para que puedan seguir funcionando.
Si por lo que sea no me convence el sistema el plan B es cloud de #disroot con #nextcloud
I've made a collection of the podman quadlets I use in my minimal setup at home: Immich, Nextcloud and Vaultwarden.
All containers have proper health checks.
I hope you find it useful.
To compete with #Adobe Creative Suites, #Microsoft Office 365, & #Google Workspace, should we have a universal #OpenSource account for all #FOSS & #privacy -focused apps for an easy workflow?
This would allow a #GIMP user to switch smoothly among #Krita, #Inkscape, #LibreOffice #Kdenlive, #Blender, #ProtonDrive, #Joplin, & #NextCloud on #Linux.

For the last decade, the #EU has been funding #Mastodon #KDE #Phosh #Nextcloud #OnlyOffice #PixelFed, #Libreoffice, #CryptPad, #Kdenlive, #Lemmy and many other Open Source projects you know and love through its #NextGenerationInternet programme.
But now that programme is ending and they are thinking about its successor.
They want to hear from you on what it should look like: Share your feedback to make sure the Commission keep funding amazing Open Source projects!

Going to #FOSDEM ? I'll of course be in the collaboration devroom, as well as at our #Nextcloud booth. Come by and we can toast #opensource with a Club Mate!
The webinterface of the NextCloud Office app is pretty feature complete, but has horrible performance. But no worries: just using a locally installed LibreOffice opening locally synchronised documents works pretty great.
@RachelThornSub If I'm reading https://github.com/nextcloud/forms/blob/main/src/utils/RegularExpression.js correctly, #NextCloud suffers from "PHP brain damage", i.e. you have to add slashes around your #regex (and backslash-escape any inner slashes) for no good reason.
For example, let's say we want to validate student IDs and each student ID is an alphanumeric string of 7 characters.
Then I believe your regex would have to look like this: /^2[12][0-9][KYNSMX][0-9KYNSMX][0-9][0-9]$/
Or alternatively: /^2[12]\d[KYNSMX][\dKYNSMX]\d{2}$/
The point is, the regex has to be wrapped in slashes and you need to manually anchor it (^ for beginning of string, $ for end of string).
(Disclaimer: I haven't tested any of this, I've just looked at the NextCloud source code.)
Sometimes it feels like I'm the only person in the world using #Nextcloud #Forms, because it's impossible to get responses on forums. For a year, I've been trying to figure out how to validate input via regular expressions (a.k.a. #regex), but no matter what I type in, I get an "invalid expression" error message. Does regex on Forms simply not work, and no one cares? Like the menu item is a just a placeholder for a possible future feature?
Is there a way to set recurring tasks (daily, every Wednesday etc) in #NextCloud tasks?

Good morning Fedi friends!
I've just published the third installment in my blog series about self-hosting with #YunoHost, showing (with plenty of screenshots and detailed explanations) how to install #NextCloud.
I'm now on high alert expecting any minute a reply by a sysadmin with a stern lecture about something I wrote 😅
Instead of signing off every blog post with the words "written by a human" I should maybe have instead: "with the greatest respect to sysadmins - I admire you tremendously"
New post:
"A newbie's guide to self-hosting with YunoHost. Part 3: Let’s install NextCloud"
And sorry for repeating myself, but the path to digital independence and empowerment is easier than you thought.
My self-hosted #NextCloud has fully replaced WeTransfer, Google Drive and Dropbox for me... and it's only the tip of the iceberg.
I hope this visual guide will help fellow newbies.

How is the object/face recognition? I try searching for a specific person in Nextcloud photos, but it's a bit hot or miss.
It's a good time to consider your digital sovereignty. If you aren't hosting your own data on #Nextcloud, etc., it's a very good time to think about doing that.
@neil My Nextcloud use has shrunk down quite a bit to calendars and contacts, and tasks. What do you use for that, if not NC?
(Unfortunately the UI for tasks & deck is ... awful.)
I'm still using the wiki ("Collectives"), but am pretty displeased by the functionality (no notifications on updates, performance).
IMNSHO, #Nextcloud would do better with fewer but better curated apps.
We'd like to restart the #Berlin #Nextcloud meetup like we used to have at cbase before the pandemic. We have a new office and space so you're all invited there!
The first meetup will take place on January 21st, 7PM to 9PM (or until we are bored). As before, bring your laptop to hack or just hang out and discuss #opensource #privacy #security and other fun topics!

ElementaryOS looks good! Sleek, modern, functional. Not intimidating at all.
Also, I'm always impressed with how easy #Nextcloud makes setting up a new machine. Install the client, enter your account data, and boom, your files are synching in the background.
@nextcloud Ach schade, zwei offensichtlich deutschsprachige Akteure auf Englisch. Ich weiß ja, Reichweite und so, aber sorry, so manches kann man einfach besser in der eigenen Muttersprache erklären.

Good morning Fedi friends! Today is the 1 year anniversary of the start of my #selfhosting adventures with #YunoHost.
I'm currently self-hosting #GoToSocial, #Pixelfed, #PeerTube and #NextCloud – and I'm always on the lookout for the next great app to install.
Thank you @yunohost for making me a more empowered digital citizen 💖
To give back, I'm writing a simple #selfhosting guide for newbies. ICYMI, here's the latest chapter: https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbies-guide-to-self-hosting-with-yunohost-part-2-installation-setup/
Wishing you all a great day!
I’m trying to replicate Google Workspace using Nextcloud, so naturally I need a business email provider that does just email. No extra collaboration features that overlaps with Nextcloud and increase the price.
Any thoughts?
Dear Fedi friends,
I just hit "publish" on my blog post "A newbie's guide to #selfhosting with #YunoHost. Part 1: reasons + requirements". It's here if you wanna read it:
This guide is intended for true newbies who are curious about self-hosting some essential digital services. I'm hoping to dispel some myths about self-hosting and make it appear accessible to all. Well, at least to people curious about it but hesitant to get started because they think it's too complicated. That was me up to a year ago.
Special thanks and shout-out to @ilja for setting my journey in motion. And eternal gratitude to @yunohost for the way they are empowering us all with the tools to self-host
#MySoCalledSudoLife #blog #BigTech #rebellion #digitalsovereignty #NextCloud
It’s that time of the year: The annual #Nextcloud wrap-up is here! 🤩
Read for lots of meaningful figures, big and small wins, community life highlights, content you loved the most, and a few teasers for 2026.
Good morning Fedi friends!
This week I will publish a first post in my mini series for total newbies about how to self-host with #YunoHost.
The very first article will simply cover the basics of what is needed... then part 2 will be the step-by-step installation and connecting a domain + creating a subdomain... and then part 3 will cover installing an app (NextCloud) and setting up a backup system.
I'm hoping to get all this done before Christmas, in time for my one year anniversary of self-hosting with YunoHost (thank you again @ilja for setting all this in motion last year).
As I type this, I'm currently backing up my YunoHost and these days my backup files are about 13GB in size, broken down as follows (in descending order):
Wishing you all a great day & week!
@mhoye face and people recognition in my offline only photo management software (#digikam). #nextcloud also has this, with also contents recognition (mountains, sea, dogs, etc).
@The_T @IntrepidVector I use #Nextcloud and #Kodi. All the media is on Nextcloud and kodi lives on some raspberry pi's.
Got my home server upgraded to #Fedora #Linux 43 and #Nextcloud 32 this evening. 🚀🚀🚀

Primeras impresiones: al igual que #NextCloud igual es overkill, sobre todo para uni usuario... este parece ser que es el otro extremo
Good luck pitching a lunch outing in a work chat with 50+ people.🤞
Threads keep the discussion focused and contained, and easy to find in your chat list.
Read about Threads and other #Nextcloud Talk features that keep your work chat quiet: https://nextcloud.com/blog/the-quiet-work-chat-app/
320 times thank you! 🤩 Your participation made this second edition of #Nextcloud Enterprise Day The Hague a great success.
I'm at the @nextcloud Enterprise Day in the Hague today, listening to our @jospoortvliet present new #Nextcloud features 🔥
We zijn er #NextCloud #DenHaag Enterprise Day.
How is your work chat treating you?
If you are tired of distracting updates, late evening pings, and the constant visual noise, we have a feature or two for you.
Discover how a work chat in #Nextcloud Talk can keep you in the loop, but gently. 🧘
Soooo if you're in NL, I'll be at the #Nextcloud Enterprise Day in The Hague coming Tuesday, talking about the move of an Austrian ministry to Nextcloud as well as what Nextcloud Talk can do for you. And, of course, to meet, greet, and answer questions!
We have nearly 350 registrations up but I believe we still have space 😅
Wasn't able to get #Baikal #CalDAV to work so moved everything to a now working #NextCloud instance.
Nice! #NextCloud works behind #nginx Proxy Manager when added some extra headers as stated here: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/582#issuecomment-2041376380
Interestingly if you're connected, then remove the headers macOS Calendar continues to function. It's only when adding the account it fails.
Tried the same headers for #Baikal (with different redirects of course) but still no dice there.
Next Cloud seems overkill for what I need, but I guess I'll be migrating then.
Interesting! After updating to #macOS 15.7.2 the #Calendar app wouldn't connect to my #Baikal #CalDAV server anymore. Tried #NextCloud. #Thunderbird and other third party apps worked just fine. Was reluctant to update iOS and iPadOS as I feared those would break as well. But they kept working.
Just to test I installed NextCloud on another server that uses #Apache instead of #NginxProxyManager #NPM and lo and behold: macOS Calendar connects just fine!
But I need NPM to work...
I wonder how #Nextcloud will invest 250 million EUR in 5 years -- where does the money come from? Isn't that EU funding?
I'm currently in progress of migrating the rest of my #Google data into #Nextcloud ahead of mass deleting it on the Google side. No particular reason other than it's long overdue and I don't want to pay for Google One.

Adding a #Nextcloud calendar to the #macOS Calendar app seems just as challenging... Ugh. Also, importing into the Nextcloud calendar doesn't seem to work...
Ugh, updating the latest update for #macOS 15 #Sequoia broke #Baikal #CalDAV. It was always finicky to get it to work but it has worked fine until now.
Maybe I should look into setting up #Nextcloud just for CalDAV... I think it supports CalDAV. But it also adds so much more I have no need for. I think 🙂.

I think my dalliance with #android may be coming to an end. I bought this titan 2 phone backing a kickstarter. It has been very unreliable. Maybe it is android 15. Maybe it is my wacky settings (i try to log out of google and do as little with them as possible). I restrict or remove permissions on a lot of stuff. It could be instability in the maker's mods to android. I don't know. But i deal with crashes. A lot
The fact is that two email programs (Thunderbird and K-9) won't run. They literally crash when opened. ProtonVPN crashes as soon as i tap "sign in". I cant remember the last time i dealt with this on my #iPhone. With this android phone it's a daily thing. I used the built-in gmail app and even it crashes sometimes.
I still don't have all my #nextcloud services integrated. I have installed TWO helper apps already (DAVx and IMAP notes) to get contacts, calendars, and notes. I STILL don't have reminder lists working. All these things were effortless on IOS. On android it's not supported out of the boxand i have to search for a workaround.

In other good news, using our community-hosted NextCloud service for push notifications is working now on both my Matrix accounts 🥳
Had to install NextPush to get it working with ElementX, but that was pretty quick and easy. I just installed it, logged in to NC and approved the app, and restarted ElementX. Voila! No more error messages.
@SomeGadgetGuy Pretty sure it's the (encrypted) storage that failed. Most everything I care about was backed up to my #nextcloud.
Just got your first #Nextcloud instance running and wondering how to fine-tune, scale or fix your setup?
Luckily, you are not alone: thousands of Nextcloud fans solve similar challenges everyday!

Good morning Fedi friends!
The results of yesterday's poll are in: 53% of you voted for #NextCloud – as in: the software I should showcase in my #YunoHost / #selfhosting for newbies step-by-step guide.
I've been self-hosting NextCloud for 4 months now and it has become absolutely essential to me, replacing Dropbox, Google Docs, Google Drive and WeTransfer. But it has so many more capabilities too!
I'm excited to do a show & tell.
Yay for #DigitalSovereignty and independence from #BigTech ✊

If you use LDAP on #Nextcloud, you might let version 32 cook a bit before upgrading. The newest version has some LDAP related regressions.

Tengo la grabación de la última actuación, es como giga y medio, y me gustaría subirla al área de socios para que tengan acceso a ella bajo las reglas de Nextcloud y. al mismo tiempo, publicarla en el blog de manera que se pueda ver con el visor de Wordpress. Todo eso sin que tenga que duplicar el espacio ocupado.
Pues no, el único complemento que he visto es uno de pago con mucha fanfarria en la página web que promete demasiadas cosas pero que siendo de pago como que no. Y no es por el dinero, es por la dependencia que le cargo a la asociación sin necesidad alguna.
He mirado también #webdav y otros medios para acceder desde Wordpress hacia Nextcloud pero nada, que tampoco hay nada. Algunos usuarios han tenido el mismo problema que yo en 2016 así que no sé si siguen vivos y si lo han resuelto porque nadie les contestó.
A ver cómo me las apaño. Algo rudimentario seguro.
La aplicación se llama repod (https://git.crystalyx.net/Xefir/repod), que necesita también la aplicación gpodersync (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/gpoddersync) para funcionar y que mejora mucho todo el sistema porque lo mantiene sincronizado con AntennaPod (por ejemplo) y así sigues episodios escuchados en un sitio u otro, por ejemplo.
Y todo esto lo cuento porque he visto el anuncio del podcast "Tetas libres" de la Revista Asamblea Digital. Mirando la página veo que el complemento para Firefox Copy RSS Button (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copy-rss-button/) me muestra todos los feeds de la misma, y es muy fácil copiarlos para subscribirse.
