Which general topic do you have
Hello Nextcloud-Community,
A part of an application I am developing is providing single images and all images within an directory as archive to persons having a non-guessable link (e.g. www.somedomain.com/file/gfdgolkj35943treflikjr23t3u).
As Nextcloud offers many nice functions regarding file synchronisation, I am thinking of migrating the this part of my application to a self-hosted Nextcloud instance. This would solve some file sync issues my current stand-alone solution has. Also, some more features could be useful.
I am familiar with hosting docker’ed software on Linux servers, so the self hosted instance itself wouldn’t be a problem.
Currently, I am checking if Nextcloud offers the functionalities I’d need, hence this post. Hopefully, you can tell me if Nextcloud meets my requirements (or at least most):
User and Organisation Management
- I’d have several organisations on a single instance.
- Each organisation should be isolated from the others.
- Each organisation can have several users accessing the files.
- If Nextcloud does not “have” organisations, I could also run a separate instance per organisation.
Directory and File handling
- creating directories and files via HTTP API
- create (and possibly auto-update) ZIP archives of all files within a directory
- Serve single files and the ZIP archives via HTTP without any credentials with non-guessable URLs
- creating smaller versions of images (e.g. scale a 4000x3000px image to 1000x750px)
Disk space management
- automatically delete oldest files/directories if a configurable limit is reached
Looking forward for your feedback! Thanks and best regards
Philipp
