Nextcloud – RFP 835086 – self-hosted cloud services, requested Aug 2016 Listed under Debian Request for Packages (RFP) and the Work-Needing and Prospective Packages (WNPP) are:

Historically there are, however, a few approaches. The Nextcloud server is currently not officially packaged for Debian and thus not integrated into mainline releases.

What is the difference between Nextcloud and ownCloud?.

How do I install the Nextcloud server today?.

Is Fast Track the preferred APT repository?.

Requirements for a Nextcloud Debian package.

Why is the Nextcloud server not available as a package?.

I'd sum it up as both used to be reasonably distinct uses (focus on local sharing via SMB/NFS vs synchronising local and remote versions via clients), but each is taking on a lot more of the capability of the other so the two applications are somewhat converging. For example on a mobile device it's simpler to set up a mobile app like MS Office to store stuff to a NAS than to NextCloud, although of course part of that is also MS wanting you to use their own cloud rather than a self-hosted one.

These days though the capacity of NAS's to do both is strongly blurring the distinction - I can for example also use my NAS as the host for a cloud-like file sharing set-up (either through their proprietary software or via a NextCloud docker container).įile serving can be somewhat more complex to set up in the cloud environment than it is for a NAS, at least outside of the native cloud clients. It is possible to use each the other way around, but it's more normally designed that way. Generally the local cloud is more for sync'd data between a local and remote (at home) store, with the NAS more for file serving without a local version.

There is certainly a lot of cross-over between the two these days. My NextCloud server sits on the latter (although the former can support such an install too) and it's reasonably reliable and stable.įorgive my ignorance, but what's the difference between a NAS/Server and your own cloud? I thought a local cloud WAS a NAS? No? Thanks for helping me learn. Personally I've run both over the years, but blew away the OMV device and replaced it by a DietPi-based Pi and the original tasks are now shared between that and a second Pi running Docker via HypriotOS.

You just connect to it over the network as you would any other server, without a specific local client. OMV on the other hand is a NAS/server solution, again with drop-in plugins for stuff like Plex servers and web servers. There are ways and means to expand NC with various other stuff like calendar management, team collaboration and other bits, but underneath it's essentially your own cloud (hence the name of the project it forked from, OwnCloud). NextCloud is more or less a "local cloud storage solution", in that it runs as a server and then there are client apps that go on your devices and the two sync up. Key question is what you're actually looking to use it for?
