Greetings self hosters!

I’m looking for suggestions on a document management service.

I currently use next cloud (AIO) to live collaborate, edit, and store my documents, but I want to be able to embed them in my WordPress site. Currently this is impossible to do nicely with nextcloud.

Do you happen to know of a self hostable document sharing solution that allows me to use the next cloud WebDAV credentials and embed those documents into my WordPress pages? Also if there is a full text search functionality that I can also embed into WordPress?

Any suggestions would be great! I am testing filestash.app and it works, but its not super reliable and does not offer a built in full text search despite the tin claim.

What would you do?

    There a handful of approaches that may be helpful for this. I don’t want to make any assumptions on what you’ve tried, yet, though. Would you mind clarifying what you’ve given a go at, so that we don’t offer something that doesn’t do what you’re looking for?

      I’ve tried a lot to make nextcloud work by default, even tried hiring a Dev to build me a plugin that would allow me to embed documents and full text search into my WordPress site but came up empty.

      Filestash has been useful to get the documents from next cloud to WordPress via WebDAV, but it breaks too often for me to want to continue to use. There’s also no way to add searching of the document to the WordPress site.

      All I really want is to continue to use nextcloud as the storage and editing and have some intermediary software serve the files as embeddable links and provide a full text search of the documents as well.
