I just installed @nextcloud on our VPS together with my dad, as a replacement for our Seafile server that started misbehaving a bit after an upgrade. While it took some time to figure out the nginx and docker configuration, the whole process was pretty smooth and I imagine someone who's more used to setting up such things could do it in less than an hour.
Now that we have it, there is so much cool stuff that's included: photo albums, calendars, collaborative editing, Doodle-style polls, synced bookmarks, and many more (see apps.nextcloud.com/).
So far there's just a few small things that could be improved: syncing softlinks is not supported, and history is only on a per-file basis (not a whole directory). But overall I'm really happy with the quality and feature set.
