When I said Nextcloud-like, I meant in function and not philosophy. So Nextcloud-like in the sense that you can do file sync, auto uploads of videos/photos from a mobile device etc
Quickly get OCIS (Nextcloud alternative) up and running
To those self-hosters who are out there curious if there exists a faster Nextcloud-like alternative without all the bells and whistles. I present to you, OCIS! This howto assumes that you're running a Linux OS and that you have a reverse proxy like caddy running. To the guy who I suggested checking out OCIS, I wrote this guide for you ;)
1. Download the OCIS binary:
sudo wget -O /usr/bin/ocis https://download.owncloud.com/ocis/ocis/stable/3.0.0/ocis-3.0.0-linux-amd64
The above downloads the latest stable version.
2. Make the downloaded binary executable:
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/ocis
3. Create a systemd unit file to start OCIS automatically:
undefined
Description=OCIS server [Service] Type=simple User=ocis Group=ocis EnvironmentFile=/etc/ocis/ocis.env ExecStart=ocis server Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
4. Create the ocis user:
sudo useradd --system --no-create-home --shell=/sbin/nologin ocis
5. Create the necessary directories:

Maybe you should give Ubuntu Server a spin. Last I tried, Nextcloud snap was the easiest way to get Nextcloud up and running.
Synology's Download Station introduced me to emule. I don't think there's a more polished client for it than DS.
