I can make a new app for this, or if anyone wants to test, you can just straight install on one of the LAMP apps.

I’d be interested in a Pydio app. It’s recent version has been rewritten in Go and promises greater performance among other things.

Pydio would possibly fit my cloud storage need better than Nextcloud by doing One Thing Well rather than doing a little of everything and not being snappy.

I couldn’t get an instance up and running locally to check LDAP support availability in the free version, maybe someone else can check?

I tried to, but the installer wants to create a dir in a read only place:

2020/03/22 15:18:40 Could not create local data dir - please check that you have the correct permissions for the folder -/root/.config/pydio/cells

[murgero]

@necrevistonnezr run installer like this, see if it works:

sudo -H -u www-data /path/to/installer

[yusf]

@murgero Did you get around to package the thing?

[murgero]

@yusf Sadly no, too much work and too little time

I was just checking out the web demo of their latest version (they call it Pydio Cells now) and it's really awesome, super snappy:
https://demo.pydio.com

They also have delta sync, mobile apps, very nice web interface and support for onlyoffice web browser editors.

Gets my vote. I think this would be a much better fit for me than Nextcloud.

Full setup is not one-click though:

And this from girish:

@gabrielcossette Thanks for the suggestion! We actually investigated this a couple of releases back and it's not simple to add. For the file browser, the UI parts are actually straight forward but the complication is with accessing the docker volumes. Accessing the data inside docker volumes will require the box code to somehow know the container user (to get the right permissions for files) and will also require the box code to run as root. This requires quite some engineering work.
Just giving some background on why this has not been done yet.

Looks like you need to be running on enterprise version for that:

Needed for role-based ACLs and compliance features too.

[yusf]

Sounds like the usual open core business model then. In such cases sometimes the community develops its own enterprise-grade plugins. Seems like that hasn't happened in this case.

[yusf]

Would anyone be interested in sponsoring a Pydio LDAP plugin?
