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.

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

    Emm SyncThing already do what you are describing, but it requires you to put that content in specific folders (Nextcloud do that but only 1 per account) in order to be shared (you can share different parent folders but you must choose to which devices to sync each one).
