I've been meaning to try https://github.com/kd2org/karadav out, lightweight server that supports nextcloud applications. Has anyone else tried it out?
I did give it a go but had trouble getting it work properly. I deployed via docker compose. The Nextcloud or owncloud clients didn’t seem to work with it unfortunately.
I haven't, but it's on my list. I also want to try copyparty. Currently, I use SFTPGo, it works pretty well. They both don't support Nextcloud apps, but I use Round Sync on my phone.
hey, copyparty dev here - I'll be upfront and warn that if you're looking for a service to do full bidirectional file syncing, with proper file tracking and versioning, then something like syncthing is a better choice. Copyparty is able to do single-direction syncing of local folders to the server pretty well (using copyparty's u2c or rclone), but that's about it.
But if you're looking for something to handle file uploads faster than many alternatives, or any of the other features listed in the readme, then I'd be happy to help if you ever get stuck somewhere :>
Just an update to say that I've setup copyparty and it's working very well. Speeds are excellent. I found an issue, but it wasn't with copyparty. When uploading large files with rclone, the transfer size would keep increasing and the upload would never finish. I use traefik as a reverse-proxy and it would terminate requests after 60s. After I disabled that timeout, everything worked perfectly. There's a good explanation here if anyone ever comes to you with a similar problem: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/8872
Awesome!! And thanks for mentioning the traefik thing; I added it to the example so maybe it'll help somebody else one day :>
Thanks for your reply! I actually already use both Syncthing and WebDAV. The latter mostly for copying backups and files in between my phone and my server, no bidirectional stuff.
I've been periodically checking on your project and look forward to trying it out, it looks great! I'm very impressed by the depth of features and the quality of the information in the README.
