We should actually use an opensource, decentralized and private alternative instead of relying on another centralized service

See Fileverse for example: https://fileverse.io/

Checked out the site on mobile, and it was unresponsive to any of my clicks.

[–] febra@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Well this software is more intended for administrative staff working for the government, so I don't think that decentralisation is their goal here.

Yeah agreed - anything not FOSS is just setting up another bad situation waiting to happen

[–] notastatist@feddit.org 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It says in one of the first paragraphs, that its open-source

What do folks think of cryptpad? ~~Thinking of~~ more like planning on switching from proton after CEO bullshit

[–] anon593839@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I personally really like Cryptpad. I haven't heard of Fileverse, so I'll check it out. Cryptpad is the closest thing I've found to a drop-in Google Suite replacement.

Just checked the part about self-hosting. While it's probably possible to handle things with a less heavy approach, their only "easy to use" example right now is to have a full-blown kubernetes cluster at hand or run locally in the source directory. That's a bit much.

In the README there's also instructions for Docker Compose, although it's quite the compose file, with SIXTEEN containers defined. Not something I'd want to self-host.

[–] lostbit@feddit.nl 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

it seems to contains development containers and external services containers. So the compose file is more for local dev it seems

What i do find weird is the choice for Django for the backend. Python is incredibly slow, and django rest framework is even worse.

Pretty good project, but is it the future to have mainly web apps?

Bro has been sleeping under a rock for the past 10 years.

It’s definitely been the direction of travel for the last several years. Not because the products are better, but because it’s easier to develop for just the browser than for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

They also work on android and IOS. You are also not dependent on the different toolkits. Also it is so much more performant.

I can imagine it'll be a 160 MB app that loads the website in a webview, like it usually is
