    Maybe storage already on S3, it's easier to maintain and it's scalable, redundant, easy to have a remote backend for storage.

    A good fit for the new multiserver cloudron.

        @girish instead of doing just an app integration, I think making it a general Cloudron integration would be better, and cover a lot more apps.
        Mount S3 and store certain directories of Apps there.

          @robi I guess you mean something like a s3fs or fuse mount? From whag I have heard, they are not very stable. And also, they don't support file permissions and meta data afaik .

            @nebulon @girish will there be a search option for files? It will be nice to have an indexing mechanism for files that are already ocr'd, instead of just looking for the file names.

                I will,
                I just think that standard storage backend will make also your job easier to maintain it in the future.

                  @nebulon said in Cubby - Open Source File Sharing:

                  @robi ha, yes lots of placeholder content still.

                  For anyone interested in the collabora integration, if you install collabora on the same Cloudron and then edit the config.json for cubby like the following with your collabora domain, it can already open ods and odt files:

                  {
                      "collabora": {
                          "host": "https://office.example.com"
                      }
                  }
                  

                  Does this not work with OnlyOffice?

                  OnlyOffice uses a different kind of API and iframe integration, which is currently not implemented. I've created a feature request for this at https://github.com/cloudron-io/cubby/issues/18

                    Good news, a highly anticipated development! With a shared storage with the Syncthing app I suppose the apps may work in conjunction?

                      Just tried the latest release and I love it! I think I'd be ready to use it once I can do the following:

                      1. Sync via webdav
                      2. Manage users
                      3. Configure storage limit per-user
                      4. Use OnlyOffice

                      Right now I use NextCloud for email + calendar + files + contacts. I'd like to move the first three to Sogo and use Cubby as a dedicated file storage app for clients. It looks promising! Keep up the excellent work!

                        @atridad usermanagement is probably out-of-scope for some time, since on Cloudron this would be done in the Cloudron dashboard. There is a small cli tool already though for local non-LDAP users.

                        If you have any specific feature requests around that, might be good to open a github issue to track those.

                          Just seen this, nice work! @nebulon & @girish I can see the need, potential and definitely happy to help with testing and feedback.

                          The Apps I do find handy in Nextcloud, that I think are fair-game to be features for Cubby, without being feature-creep, are the Photos Explorer and Map Explorer for Photos. Our users really like both of those in Nextcloud, although wish they were a bit faster of course!

                          Mountain Duck pretty-much does everything the Nextcloud sync app does for those looking at alternatives there, although at a cost.

                          I'd like to see a Compact view, similar to Google Drive. These over-sized, over-spaced UIs do seem to infantalise things to me, when anything used in anger really needs to make better use of screen space when most users are on smaller screens.

                            @marcusquinn yeah, the first goal currently is to get the file sharing aspect work well (and syncing either via nextcloud client or other webdav clients).

                            Photos has to explored in the future whether this is to be a totally separate app or part of cubby.

                              Perhaps some inspiration for a Compact view:

                                Is Cubby reliable enough to have some basic cloud storage?

                                  If you wanted to really make for a killer feature, I guess you could mount existing Nextcloud file systems in Cubby, so one could use either interface and migrate as Cubby matured and made Nextcloud redundant for those not wanting all the plugins.

                                    I'm hopeful we'll get PhotoPrism one day soon which I think does that stuff too (and likely much faster than Nextcloud)

                                    I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

                                      Thank you to everyone involved with creating and maintaining Cubby! It looks and works really well for me, especially considering it's still in beta.

                                      Please, can somebody clue me in on how to use volumes with it? I tried mounting something but there's no way to switch the path to the volume as far as I can make out.

                                        Thank you to everyone involved with creating and maintaining Cubby! It looks and works really well for me, especially considering it's still in beta.

                                        Please, can somebody clue me in on how to use volumes with it? I tried mounting something but there's no way to switch the path to the volume as far as I can make out.

                                        @3246 thanks for trying Cubby, as you realized, it is still only some alpha basically and has no support for volumes yet. But it will get support for volumes. Most likely though not in the same way other apps have, but more like a volume is its own storage, to be able to have multiple data volumes for different purposes.
