Running opencloud - great nextcloud replacement - Byte Pursuits

Performance was always lackluster even for 1-2 users, features added are seemingly superfluous and was never something I wanted or cared about (groupware, AI assistant, talk features – don’t use, need or care).

Then I also use netbird as an overlay network not only to access my servers remotely but also to “join” two sites via a VPN (Backup server at my mom’s)

      That sounds like you use the mesh vpn for managing the server, e.g. ssh, and you’ve got a server at home and route all traffic via the vps to hide your ip. Do i get it right?

      OP’s setting sounded like he’s exposing his stuff publicly after routing through mesh vpn
