Nextcloud keeps getting better and better and is always a good conversation piece about personal data freedom when someone asks "can you dropbox it for me?"

Glad you founded it. Proud to be part of the community 😍 .

A great project! I donated, and I contribute occasionally. I always feel good when I do.

Congratz for this and keep up the good work!

That's amazing! I started with Nextcloud 13 hosted on a one-click hoster with a #SQLite database in 2018. In the space of a month or two, I reconfigured the Nextcloud instance to talk to a heavily firewalled #MariaDB instance on another host, then went all-in on self-hosting by using info@c-rieger.de 's excellent guides and scripts to do a fresh install of the same version on a host on the #DMZ in my network, applied a bunch of `sed` commands to the database dump to correct hostnames and paths, restored the modified dump, and it all just worked! There have been a few bumps in the road on the way since then, but overall I find Nextcloud to be one of the three essential pillars that have allowed me to #degoogle my life. (The other two are #ipfire and @e_mydata.)

respect to #ownCloud, too!

You mean, today 7 years ago, 12 people forked ownCloud - already existing Free and Open Source alternative to centralized proprietary cloud services.
