    I really need to make my write-up about my nextcloud install. It feature :

    • nextcloud fpm
    • postgresql
    • nginx
    • redis
    • elastic search for full text search (still needs a bit of work1)
    • notify_push
    • collabora (still needs a bit of work 1)

    All of it running in rootless podman pod with a dedicated user for the stack. It is all with podman units, and a systemd timer for nextcloud’s cronjobs.

    1 means that there is trouble with usermapping. Instead of having my user properly mapped inside the container to run the apps, they use a dedicated one and I dont know hot to correct it and I have been a bit lazy to change it.

    To me, he talks more about boreout/brownout than burnout. The first one (I almost did it this year) is about having a job that is boring, like really boring for you (mine was tech support only with absolutely no control over anything, plus some disrespect for my company and client (big bank) starting to appear). Brownout is more on the lost of meaning which he talked more about.

    Both may seems “better” than burnout, but being bored enough to have suicidal ideation back is not a great deal (in my case) and according to my therapist : the cause are different, but the result is “always the same” : one day, you can’t get out of bed and cry…

    I totally disagree with the quote from hackernews. Having the option to use sqlite is nice to test it, but going with postgresql or mariadb allows you to have better performance if you use rdbms. Also, packaging with containers allows to have one standardized image for support if some third party packaging (from a distro repo) is bugging to test it further. To me, a good gui really depends on what service is provided. For kanidm (IAM), I don’t care this much of a web admin panel, the cli is really intuitive and if you need some graph views of your users, you can generate some diagram files. Considering OIDC/LDAP, I’d rather have OIDC implemented for two reasons : I can point my users to the (really minimalist) kanidm ui where they have a button for each app allowed. Also, the login informations are only stored in kanidm, no spreading of login password.

    I saw a comment about not needing to rely on many third services but I partly disagree with it. Using nextcloud as a mixed example, using elastic search for full text search is better than reimplementing it, but the notify_push should not be as separated as it is (it is here because I understood, apache-php and websockets does not mix well).

    All in all, the main criterias for me are :

    • SSO with OIDC, but ldap is good enough
    • Good documentation
    • easy deployment to test, prod deployment can be more advanced
    • Not reimplement the weel eg if you need full text search, meilisearch or elastic can do it better than you will, so don’t try to much (a simple grep for a test instance is enough)
    • If you need to store files, having remote stores is nice to have (webdav or s3)

    Drew DeVault (sway, sourcehut, hare… creator) wrote an article on this exact topic, asking autistic people on mastodon what they think of it. The tldr is that autistic people (those who answered) hate this excuse because they rather know when they make people uneasy to try to adjust, and also that if we need to tolerate this kind of discourse to make room for a minority of autistic people, then we are not doing a good job because it makes a lot of people really uneasy.
