More small services (two in this case) that mind their own business and are less resource hungry.

It contains services like SSH, (S)FTP, SMB/CIFS, DAAP media server, RSync, BitTorrent client and many more.

One setup that does filesync and contacts/calendars plus a web interface but you need your Pi always in reach. When comparing Nextcloud and syncthing you can also consider the following projects: OpenMediaVault - openmediavault is the next generation network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. In the end it comes down to what you want: But the P2P approach of Syncthing fits my needs better so I went this route. I think Nextcloud is pretty impressive and I worked with the old Owncloud team when it was new some years ago. You cannot share individual files with Syncthing. It is both server and client and only talks with other Syncthing applications. you run the Syncthing application on EVERY device you want to sync. It is peer-to-peer file/folder synchronization. But one has to setup two services whereas Nextcloud is one single setup. Nextcloud is a selfhosted version of Dropbox.

Resource wise I would say my setup is easier on the hardware (I rarely go over 10% CPU and memory) whereas for Nextcloud one needs a full LAMP (or similar) stack which is tough on a Pi. Here I use Radicale which is very light weight and - like Syncthing - does just one part of the job very efficiently. Another benefit is for big files where Syncthing can pull data from multiple sources at once.Ĭontacts and calendars are a different topic. at my university and my Pi would be out of reach my phone can still sync everything to my Laptop (as long as both are in the same network or my VPN is active). If I have some data on my phone and my desktop is off - fine, my data goes to the Raspberry and than to my Desktop when I fire it up (similar to how Nextcloud does it). All devices talk to each other in a P2P manner so there is no single always-on instance (even though my Pi is) everybody relies on. SyncThing comes with user-based Systemd service files, and after a while of trying to make them succumb to my will for a custom user and home directory (because the web user doesn’t always have a. As one of the other already said it is more of a replacement for Dropbox than Nextcloud. Within the Nextcloud configuration, stipulating all Redis nodes is the only way of achieving replication (as Nextcloud will write to them all). I have Syncthing running on all of my devices. To bring the other side into the game as well, I will describe my setup (I am a little biased of course).
