Hello!

I recently had issues with my self-hosted instance of Nextcloud so I started looking for an alternative to it.

I would like something that could allow me to make a local network of shared files between devices I choose, if that makes any sense.

I stumbled upon Syncthing but it doesen’t seem what I had in mind: I understand that it replicates folders between devices, but I am looking for a way to distribuite files between machines. Again, like Nextcloud but without a central server to rely to.

Do you know if something of that sort exists?

Or if you have any other solution?

Thank you.

P.S. I am posting it here because it seems like some sort of self-hosting, but maybe I will cross-post it to the decentralized comunity.

    I definitely suggest you to check Cubbit out, it is brilliant and I would even say revolutionary. I own a Cubbit cell and I cannot be more happy.

    Yes, there is room for A LOT of improvements, still, the core of the service works greatly.

      Thanks for the info! I’ll chek it out!

      I was thinking about a bottorrent node on the tron network, is a decentraliced file storage sistem, never heard of Cubbit.

      Do you have some photo of this device? Isn’t it’s just raspberry pi with attached HDD?

        Nope. I think it could be, but instead Cubbit provides the complete hardware in an hexagonal cell
