From Nextcloud to Seafile, Sogo and Piwigo

I have recently upgraded Nextcloud from version 15 to version 18 on my yunohost. And even if I’m impressed by the new functionalities, it looks like my Olimex LIME2 board is reaching its limit, it takes quite some time to display Nextcloud’s homepage, and I’m starting to have MySQL’s service failing randomly. As my board at home is really about synchronizing files, pictures, calendar and contacts, I’m going to switch to some other apps that will handle each of these cases, and will deploy Nextcloud on a more performant machine when I need the collaborative features. Sogo will take care of my calendars and contacts, Seafile of my files and Piwigo of my pictures. And I’ll make the most to reinstall my Yunohost, writing everything down so that I don’t have to search everything again everytime I’m doing it, hoping it might help others too.
