I built a self-hosted cloud that installs in ONE command (Nextcloud alternative)

#selfhosted #cloudstorage #nextjs #opensource

Tired of paying for Google Drive or Dropbox? Cloud Shakes is an open-source, self-hosted private cloud — your files, your server, your rules.

⭐ WebSite→ https://shakes.es

Think Nextcloud, but with a modern stack and a setup that actually makes sense. File storage, office suite, notes, calendar — everything in one place, installed in under 5 minutes.

curl -fsSL https://shakes.es/install | sudo bash
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

PostgreSQL, S3, SSL, credentials — all configured automatically.

The Nextcloud pain you know:

  • ❌ Hours wrestling with PHP dependencies

  • ❌ Security hardening headaches

The Cloud Shakes reality:

  • ✅ One command → Everything works
  • ✅ Modern stack → No legacy PHP
