Pydio free file sharing
-
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 -
@necrevistonnezr run installer like this, see if it works:
sudo -H -u www-data
/path/to/installer -
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.comThey 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:

@girish said in [Suggestion] Server-Wide Database Manager and File Browser:
@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:

Looks decent, and seems a bit faster than Nextcloud - I'm interested too.

@marcusquinn looks like Pydio Cells is rewritten in golang and performs quite a bit faster than the previous version. I remember trying to get it working at one point and don't remember what issue I ran into. I'll maybe take another look in a bit. Prepping for an interview rn

@atridad Haha! Funny how it seems a few of us recently found this again around the same time. Was gonna request this get added and saw this from way back in 2018. would love to see this. Cubby has potential to be what I want (Nextcloud is overly bloated) buuuuut Pydio seems to check a lot and I just found it myself. Would be a great addition!

I have my issue on their github here:
https://github.com/pydio/cells/issues/331If anyone in @staff or @appdev know what might be going on, please let me know.
-
Repo is here: https://git.atridad.dev/alt-ron/cloudron-pydio-app
Its very experimental right now. Looks like it needs a restart once you finish the setup. Now to automate (whatever I can, anyways).
Also now I have an issue with their collabora plugin. Looks like it just comes up blank and I cannot figure out if its something I am doing, an issue with the collabora app, or an issue with the Pydio app.

OK I did some testing and found a few things:
The good:
- F A S T
- Clean UI
The bad:
- Horrible mobile app (can't even do native sharing?????)
- On the topic of the app, there is no mobile sync to be found...
- High resource usage while doing shit all
- LDAP is only on the enterprise distribution
- OnlyOffice is only on the enterprise distribution
- The Collabora integration doesn't play nice with the cloudron Collabora app
Its a cool app but fails to meet my needs. Either way I guess the code is there if anyone has an inclination to take it further.

@atridad Thanks for your efforts and testing! It’s another case of having great software and doing the mobile app as an afterthought, I guess, like so many others. Today should always be mobile first!
