I use Calibre on my laptop to manage my book collection and Calibre-web on a server with the Kobo extension enable to sync books automatically with my Kobo.
It works pretty well!

In my opinion, they do different things.
SFTP/SCP are great ways of transferring files between computers. I prefer rsync for most things because it can resume transfers and checksum results. I'd never use FTPS because SFTP/SCP comes with SSH, and why run a separate service? SSHFS is another way to use SSH to transfer files (it mounts a remote file system to your local computer so you can use all your normal file management tools).
NextCloud (and similar) do a bunch of additional things:
- Provides clients which sync files to your local computer
- Provides a web interface for managing files
- Provides ways to share files without creating accounts
- Allows connecting external storage (eg. S3)
- Provides encryption
- And a lot more
If SFTP does everything you need, that's awesome. Use it. :-)
The thing is, these sorts of losses aren't limited to selfhosting. Selfhosting introduces some new risks and reduces some other risks.
Digital data is inherently fragile. It takes active work to preserve it.
That's one of the reasons my wife and I make an actual physical photo book each year of our favourite photos.
I like using containers, but it doesn't make any difference to the above. Containers can be exploited as well.
I don't know why people feel the need to say this every time somebody asks about selfhosting email.
There's no technical problem with running a mail server on the same server as websites. The only concern is simply that web applications are much more likely to have bugs and get hacked than your mail server. If a web app does get hacked, all of your mail is potentially compromised. If you don't care about that, I'd say ... go for it.
I'd guess that you have another DNS server on your network which is trying to get the list of root name servers (what the . means) via AdGuard.
I'd guess that there are so many queries because something is going wrong with it's attempt to get the root name servers from AdGuard so it's doing it over and over (because it can't function without them).
Debian. Always Debian.
I understand why, I just wish there was a way to do notifications without a centralised, internet connected server.
One of the things I do is build communications systems for scientific crews who are often working in places with local wifi but no internet. They'd really like to have a Matrix server (or similar) they can use to send each other messages. But as far as I've been able to determime this is currently impossible. :-(
Deltachat is the best solution I've been able to find.
Sadly, I believe web push notifications still go through a centralised server provided by the browser developer.
I didn’t think that iOS was working at all?
