Nextcloud (AIO) has been a nightmare 😫. I’m planning to ditch it since I don’t have the time to keep tweaking it or dealing with constant issues.

Now, I’m torn between Seafile and OwnCloud.

I was interested in trying OCIS but couldn’t find a ready-to-use Docker Compose file. If anyone has one, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Also, I’ve read concerns about how Seafile stores files. Is that still an issue?

I use Portainer to manage containers, but I’m okay with a manual setup too. I just need a ready-to-use Compose file for quick deployment.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Found a solution. Haven’t tried yet.

Seafile store data in its own proprietary format. There’s no way to just go into the disk and browse the data. You need a proper backup solution.

In my case, I sync all my Seafile data between my server, laptop and desktop, so in the worst case I only lose the file history. A better option, if you have space, is to backup the Seafile storage volumes as well.

Seafile provides ready made compose files, with a detailed guide - https://manual.seafile.com/11.0/docker/deploy_seafile_with_docker/

Also, note that if you make an account on their site, you can get a free pro license for up to three accounts.
