Hello,


Topic explains it all.  Looking to replace my nextcloud solution for a
bunch of linux clients.  A web interface is a "nice to have" but not
required.  I am fine with mounting to the clients either with webdav
or with samba as i am aware that the virtual filesystem features of
ownclouds client (and nextclouds) does not seem to work well under
linux.

​

Features I desire:

Native filesystem support for backup and restores.  I run
ZFS+snapshots and offsite backups.  I know under filestash this is a
non issue.  However with nextcloud it took some finessing with the occ
command to get files to show up.  Is this an issue with owncloud
still?  I wouldnt mind having native access to the filesystem to allow
files to be written to it and for it to show up in owncloud without
having to do a file rescan.  However, i would be willing to work with
some sort of "rescan on new files" feature.

​

Right click link share support.  I know this could be tricky without
the native app.  One could write a script though that utilizes either
filestashs or ocis api to achieve this with a nautilus script.

​

Works well with immich?  I have decided on immich.. (who hasn't)  i
wouldnt mind something that will not muck around to much with how that
operates but still allow access to the files it manages for sharing.

​

I cant think of any other reasons, but if anyone has any..  I would
love to hear them!
