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