Hi, I got a small server as a for-fun-project and I really enjoy having it. With all the stuff going on in the world I would like to self host more things, but I’m pretty new to the scene. So far it’s just an old desktop with Ubuntu server os acting as media server. I would like to add some sort of lightweight and preferably open source file share akin to Google Drive with the ability to save/upload, view and edit files on the server from the outside internet. I’d also like a shared calendar that can also be accessed from the internet. Do you have any good recommendations this? Thanks

    Hi, thanks. I’ve been testing out NextCloud and it might be a bit too bloated and buggy for me (document editor iffy on mobile and encountering files and folders being falsely locked and thus cannot be interacted with) so I might give sftp a go.

    Is there a dockerhub project you would reccomend? I’ve been looking at sftpgo (https://hub.docker.com/r/drakkan/sftpgo) as a option?

      In the past, when I’ve used SFTP, I just use the openssh docker container with a mount of my filesystem (since SFTP uses SSH). Particularly this image: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/openssh-server

      I can’t speak to sftpgo as I haven’t used it, but from looking it up it seems that some people like it, although it’s a pain to set up. If you want something simple I’d still just go with openssh.
