When it comes to pure file synchronization and transfer speeds, Seafile often dramatically outperforms solutions like Nextcloud. The best part? The Professional Edition of Seafile is free for up to 3 users and natively supports S3 object storage backends. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to set up Seafile Pro using Docker Compose and offload your data sheets, file histories (commits), and blocks to an affordable S3 bucket (e.g., Hetzner Storage Box, AWS, Wasabi). ...

Nextcloud is an amazing open-source, self-hosted alternative to Google Drive or Dropbox. However, hosting it on an affordable VPS often means you quickly run into local storage limitations. The solution? Integrating S3 Object Storage! In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through deploying Nextcloud via a Docker container on a VPS, configuring an S3 bucket (e.g., AWS S3, Wasabi, or Hetzner Storage Box) directly as your primary storage component. Warning: This tutorial does not cover backup setups (for the database and server configurations). A comprehensive backup strategy is strictly required for any production deployment! ...

Open Item Management (OIM) is one of the most core features in SAP Financials (FI).

In this article, I will shed light on how to interact with open items at the table level and discuss some common pitfalls. ...
