Situation: we live in europe, there’s PRISM and Privacy Shield and all that, to which selfhosting is the solution. Now, my sister, mostly on Apple, got concerned with all the hacks and privacy violations over the years. She’s a tech noob, so i can’t really recommend her prism-break.org

There’s a bunch of hosted solutions geared towards small to medium business, like Univention Corporate Server, NethServer, etc.

Are there similiar bundles for private use, basically Apple cloud alternative? With services like cloud storage, cloud office, media share, maybe chat, videocall?

Or should i let her wait until i got my box up, VPN her over? I’m only semi-professional tho.

    If they want to learn how to run their own stuff, go ahead and teach them.

    Do you think sister here wants to learn how to run nextcloud?

      She might want to, who knows?

      She wants privacy, maybe she’s not afraid of learning new things to get it. It is possible.

          It isn’t because he needs to be willing to teach in the first place. If a person don’t want to teach autonomy to another, the debate ends here.

          But to know if you want to take the time to teach someone, you have to consider the possibility in the first place not thinking ‘impossible’ then move along.

          Also we can debate on how to teach a family member without being overwhelmed, because it is a real topic of discussion.
