This can be Google Drive, Dropbox, Webdav, S3, SFTP etc. In Nextcloud, there is a fully integrated way to have “External Storage”. Idea: How to make Syncthing and Nextcloud more Plug&Play? Hosted Solutions for some Euros per month Offers E2E Encryption (Clients) (Just for important Folders Their are not accessable via the WebGUI anymore.Better Mobile Clients (Native Battery Friendly Doesnt Download everything directly).More Features (Apps for allmost everything in the WebGUI).(Just a Cronjob for Background Tasks).īut this also limits its functionality in certain areas. It doesnt have some kind of Daemon, which is by design. Its mostly done by big NFS shares/DRBD/FilesystemReplicationToolXYZīut Nextcloud runs on any cheap Webspace. This might scale to infinite amount of Usersīut replication of Users/Folders is not part of Nextcloud. High Scaleout: Its a product called “global scale”, its like an software loadbalancer/directory server which redirects users to their real “home” server/cluster(normal way)).Normal way: Multiple (PHP) Frontends, Clustered Database + an Loadbalancer on front.Nextcloud does indeed support multiple Servers, even geographically “distributed”.īut NOT for one single folder. Nextclouds doesnt offer Delta Sync, LAN Sync etc. Syncthing has its strengths/focus in Syncing. But not (yet) integrated with each other. Heck, deltasync is already mostly done and its developer wants to put it in Nextcloud - LANSync can be done, too. Find a C++ developer and bug him/her to contribute these features to Nextcloud. Look, if it is delta-sync and lan-sync you want, those are perfectly possible in Nextcloud. Not really suitable for Nextcloud which has to work in a serious setup. Sorry, it seems a nice non-enterprise, home user tech. Syncthing uses its own, special protocol - which you can’t just mount in mac or windows, nor use from third party apps, and if it doesn’t use port 443 it won’t work through many firewalls.Īlso, syncthing isn’t a PHP app so it can’t be installed easily on Nextcloud or integrated, especially in a large scale environment. We picked webDAV because it is a standard that is widely supported and works through any firewall. Then about using the syncthing protocol in our client instead of webDAV. That is a medium size customer of ours - bigger ones have 100.000 users, say 150.000 devices. The scalability answer isn’t very convincing - sure, syncthing works with 2000 devices. Enterprise solutions are always a mix of a bunch of software packages. The statement “it seems a non-enterprise, home user tech” with the sentence before “it is not an PHP app” smells like Eating your own dog food. Sure syncthing consumes more RAM/CPU because the design is different (block indexes) compared to a “simple” webdav share. I’m not 100% sure how right Jos Poortvliet is about scalability. ![]() I had to laugh a little while reading this, searching for nextcloud and syncthing integration. ![]()
