I am running grapheneos and got nc from fdroid if it matters. I also use nc on my local network only.

So I could not find logs that pointed to any specific file giving the errors. Still I took the advice that it might have to do with file names. That made me suspect it had to do with my music folder which has some foreign music, so i renamed files with a special character. So far it seems that was it. This was odd because those files have been there and synced for a while, but the message was not happening until recently. Still wanted to update in case someone else has this issue there is some resolution that might be helpful.

So I couldn’t really find what are the offending filenames, but they were from the music folder. I guess I didn’t mention that that was the most recent folder I set as a two way sync. I get most of my music from yt-dl and naturally wanted to have it on both my laptop and phone. I since have discovered Power Ampache 2 . It is a music player and it can just stream and download your music on your Next Cloud. So far it works well and I have no more errors regarding filenames as I no longer need the Next Cloud app to do a two way sync.

    What a negative post without any proof. This issue might’ve even been old and not related to a recent update. The post you’re quoting actually has a comment showing that this might be a bug already reported in 2023 https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/12137. In that sense a future update might just fix this problem. Also take a look at the changelogs of Nextcloud. They don’t just contain new features, but also many fixes and improvements/rewrites of old code to make things more stable, more maintainable and faster.

    If you’ve been updating to new major Nextcloud versions right after release: stop doing that. Wait several point releases and updating becomes really stable.

      The update is from me and what I am doing in my selfhosting

    Eek, I’m moving towards nextcloud (and away from Google fast as possible). Is there a better all-in-one groupware + files + collab + office apps suite out there?

    It does appear that nextcloud’s devs are eyeballs deep in php tech debt, so their pace of development and integration has slowed.

    It’s so big that none of their FOSS components are going to be #1 on their own.

    Recently upgraded the version and had to allow untested app versions (which had just disappeared) because they hadn’t been updated yet. That’s a weird problem and yeah, I don’t really want to be beta tester everytime I try and open a document.

    They also don’t really have a nice docker compose based deployment yet.

    But I couldn’t be happier to be leaving google in the dust, so there’s that.

      Nextcloud is great if you want one service to provide all those functionalities.

      Their All-In-One (AIO) provides a rather complete docker compose https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one.

      One of the biggest reasons people complain about Nextcloud is that they update to new major versions too soon. Wait for several point releases or even until another major version is released (which only take several months). This will make updating much more stable.

      Nextcloud is awesome, you should definitely still use it. It’s really big and has its issues when upgrading, but it’s still one of—if not the—best for file sync and share.

      Easy Docker solutions:

      My two cents: try it yourself but don’t start using their app store until you’ve gotten a better feel for things. They have some great app store apps, but it makes you dependent on Nextcloud.

        Nextcloud is by far the worst piece of software I have ever had the misfortune of deploying. From tech stack, to performance, documentation, stability, modernity it’s catastrophic

          But compared to Google and not owning your data? It’s SO much better, not that it’s really a fair comparison.

          Sorry your experience has been so bad. I’m using the LinuxServer.io version. I’ve had to run some OCC commands when upgrading and it’s sometimes slow, but for me it syncs my files and does version control + sharing well.

            That’s kinda their schtick though. They’ve been that way since before they split off from Owncloud.

              You can either be good at a few things or mediocre at a lot of things. For convenience I’m sure it’s great, but I wonder about the quality and sustainability of it all.

    I really want to like Nextcloud, but it had way way too many issues and limitations for me the last time I set it up (May, I think?)

      As someone who uses nextcloud exclusively for calDAV and cardDAV, what replacements are recommended?

      I agree. In principle Nextcloud is a great idea and project but it has a lot of issues that make maintaining a pain. I had it for over 2 years and at every update it was painfull. I gave up and moved to Syncthing+Radicale. Is there something I miss? Yes, the ability to share as Syncthing doesn’t allow sharing.

        The trick is to wait several point releases before updating. This makes it much more stable.

        Depends on which functions of NC you’re using.

        Personally, I found thst no-one used the gallery, calendar or contacts apps in NC, so I replaced it all with radicale and syncthing.

        But if you’re using all the collaboration stuff, then you’ll need to look into it a bit more.

        For me, NC was way overkill, nightmare to maintain and an extra layer of software (ie vulnerabilities) exposed to the interwebs thst I didn’t need

      What to use for Calendar and Contacts management?
      Yes I know about Radicale, I’m talking desktop UI wise because fuck doing any substantial event organizing on a phone.
