sadly too complicated for some of my users. just going on a website to enter their info is a chore.

multiple reasons :

• I have some friends I want to share with that might not want to share their email address with my family and vice versa.
• There is maybe a limited number of family members that know my personal email account and I want to keep it that way.
• I have multiple emails depending what app I use and do not want to share them.
• just not wanting to share an email address should be reason enough wtf
• Using authentik, I might not want people to know what email I use for other apps.
• I have a kid in my users and their info is all of a sudden public, even for a day? huh-uh, that’s totally legit.
• I don’t want to share my private email to other peoples guests.

There are so many usecase that make this very not a normal configuration. So many apps exist that let you hide your email, this is common sense.

I can remove the email from nextcloud, but if the person wants to get notifications : gotta chose between what is more important.

I also know the majority of my users don’t care enough about it to know that the information exists, but then they share to someone that does and you just game your whole families personnal information to someone on a silver platter (hopefully they are a nice someone).

ps: this isnt only about the email, it is the lack of care for private information in general from something as big has Nextcloud. There are so many ways I can get my (and others) information stolen as it is, I will not use an app that just makes it normal and easier then it already is.

The battery of the UPS died and I didn’t notice until there was an outage. None of my other apps had any problem except seafile + I never found out why it kept going down randomnly. I kinda stopped caring after the corruption ;;

edit : I am already using syncthing between my machines/phone and it works great for me, but I want something I can share with family and friends, sadly syncthing is too complicated for them.

I am using nginx on a separate machine (VM) I have yet to try it in docker, I just have not found a reason to change it yet.

I’ve tried npm, caddy and traefik but they are always way more complicated then adding a new config file in nginx…

I feel the others add too much to the docker configs and limit what can be added to the reverse proxy. I have control of access from the nginx server, without having to change the apps configuration.

NPM is the closest to what I would like (only needing the same network in docker) if I go the docker way but for some reason it never works as it should when I configure it. So I am sticking to plain nginx.
