Hi, finally setting up Nextcloud in an effort to de-Google myself and replace GDrive for good.
I am currently running Nextcloud via Tailscale and that works fine except for when i want to share a file to someone outside of my Tailnet. I have heard of federated Nextcloud but i am not sure that i quite understood the purpose of this or maybe there is a better solution? If i run two instances like that, will i simply be able to share certain files over to that instance for sharing?
Understandable, but if you’re sharing it, it’s not private in that sense anyway. This may be a legitimate use case for GDrive, Dropbox, Box, etc. Or just use sneakernet.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
Why not just run a standard internet facing NC instance, and just share the file with a shared link?
I want to avoid having anything private or critical be internet facing.

I don’t store any documents that contain private info on NC, I store them on ProtonDrive.
