Pydio free file sharing
-
@murgero very nice! Is pydio like nextcloud but just for file sharing ? It also seems the project is now called "Cells" , is it?
@girish @atridad yeah - packaged it last night. It's Pydio Cells now. This is the latest stable cells version as of last night.
It takes like 5 minutes for the first boot but after that runs fast. It has some issues with file permissions still but I'll work on that later.

@girish yeah. It runs on a golang backend I think. Works alright. The mobile app isn’t quite as good as Nextcloud’s but it imo it’s better layout on the browser compared to nextcloud.

Well, it has WebDAV access, so there are a few more options for mobile apps: https://pydio.com/en/docs/kb/client-applications/using-webdav-clients

Oh wow, significantly faster than Nextcloud!
@murgero does this include LDAP?

An old post but I have packaged Pydio Cells as a custom app.
My git repo : https://git.cloudron.io/timconsidine/cloudron-pydiocells
Built Cloudron Docker image : tcmbp132021/cloudron-pydiocells:v1.0.0
Available as fast install on custom app installer : https://ccai.appx.uk
Pydio is a cloud file collaboration (or just your personal file archive) and is much faster than Nextcloud.
It goes someway to providing Seafile-like functionality but I have not explored how to sync local devices e.g. desktops to the cloud archive. So it could be said to be limited use until that is resolved.
Note : files are stored on disk with Pydio-naming, which is not ideal, and one reason why I am looking for an alternative to Seafile.
Sync-in seems to be better (native file naming, sync clients) but needs more battle testing. -
Err ... a disclaimer / alert is needed that Pydio uses MinIO under the hood.
Given the MinIO changes, I don't know (haven't checked) how this might affect the acceptability of Pydio Cells as a solution. Might depend on your personal stance.But Pydio 5 is coming and that might change things.
Yes, Pydio Cells uses MinIO under the hood.
Here is the breakdown:
- Storage Layer : Pydio Cells treats all storage (even local files) as object storage.
- Internal Usage : It embeds a forked version of MinIO to manage the data layer. When you create a "local" datasource, Cells actually spins up an internal MinIO gateway/server to manage those files as if they were in an S3 bucket.
- API : This allows Pydio to use the standard S3 API for file operations (uploads, downloads, multipart) internally and externally, regardless of whether the actual data is on a local disk, an actual S3 bucket, or Azure Blob storage.
You do not need to install MinIO separately; it is bundled and managed automatically by the Cells binary.
-
Interesting, is the API usable by other apps that want an S3 endpoint?
Might be an easy way to have a local S3 service/gateway until the Cloudron team integrates a shared service with App Add-on.

Hmmm, this last build seems to have some issues.
Stand by for a new version.
