Have a look to [Fossil](https://fossil-scm.org/) which is very easy to host and offer code repository, bug tracker, wiki, forum, etc. It is not Git however, but there is bridges and one can even mirror a Fossil repo to Github.

Because his son started studying programming, so he resurrected this 20 years old project. Did you read the History page on Cosmoe website ? You should (https://cosmoe.org/history.html)

Ton of projects exists, ton of cars, ton of bicycles, ton of shoes, ton of pens, ton of keyboards, mices and screens... each of them are just another one and there is no real benefit to chose one rather than another (price excepted). They exist, because someone wanted to try someting or do something. Humans do things that way.

Did you think to market it to small bricks and mortar shops ? You know, these little companies where customers ask for advises. I work with some of them. They often use one phone only for personal and professional calls. Further, they don't have strict separation between work and family things. If you could add some automation like detecting when the phone is quickly moving (you are in a car, a train, a bike…), or when the phone is not at the workplace it could help them a lot.

After a long break in releases of 3.8 beta test candidates, development is resuming, though not at the pace of past releases. That said, the team hope to have a 3.8 release ready before the end of the year.

POV-Ray development is resuming

You're right.

This is very strange, we use a quite smaller VPS server (2 virtual core, 2 Gb of Ram) to host NC with other things, our clients computers are 10 years old and we _never_ had such bad experience, while we use NC with macOS, iOS, Android, Windows and Linux (mainly Linux).

There is obviously something wrong in your NC setup.

I like Etherpad very much, but it is very lite as a Google docs alternative. Collabora, Only Office or the Cryptpad suite are better, but from the 3, the cryptpad server is the easiest to install.

This is a very very old opinion, and not true for years.

>> What I need in my stack is a focused Google Docs alternative > Try Etherpad (https://etherpad.org/)

He should better use OnlyOffice, Collabora or Cryptpad office suite. The Cryptpad server is the only one which is not a nightmare to install and setup.

> The sync client on desktop said it was fully synced. Only 200GB of 800GB was on the machine.

Did you read the manual? It is recommended for such size to do the first sync using rsync (or similar) followed by the CLI command to build the files database.

IMHO, the mail app is very slow and need a large screen. Also it doesn't help to manage emails when you need to delete, to search for something, to put in folders and to deal with spams. But I am a power users who like to keep thing clean. Some employees works with it without complaining. Nextcloud recently "bought" Roundcube and it might become the prefered mail app sooner.

Thanks! I didn't know about that.

There is some under documented good little tools that can sync between devices, browsers and Nextcloud :

- Qownnotes for notes, selecting text from web pages and bookmarking (I'm curently testing it).

- Someone told me that Zotero can do that too.

- Vdirsyncer for synchronizing calendars and addressbook between NC and uncompatible apps (Odoo mainly).

I don't know which one is better, but considering file hosting, sync and web access, Nextcloud works very well. Regarding usability, as NC doesn't works like Dropbox it is a matter of taste, I prefer NC over Dropbox.
