Linux-based private cloud setup serving macOS clients; iCloud-like experience [on hold]

Does anyone know how iCloud is setup, and whether it is possible to replicate this on a macOS client with a private server?



Assuming one has a Linux-based server with SSH/SFTP access (and can configure other services for access on that server), is there a seamless and user-friendly way to provide an iCloud-like experience on macOS with a Linux backend?



I've tired OS X Fuse/SSHFS on Mac clients, and while that mostly just works fine, the issue is the user-friendly part. What I'm looking for something that once setup, can be accessed (read: connect to server, grab directory listing, etc). from Finder by simply clicking on a folder/shortcut in the sidebar.



I've also tried various "cloud mount" apps that will mount SFTP shares as network volumes. This is better, but still does not live up to that "iCloud-like" experience.

put on hold as off-topic by Sven yesterday


This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:


  • "Requests for product, service, or learning material recommendations are off-topic because they attract low quality, opinionated and spam answers, and the answers become obsolete quickly. Instead, describe the business problem you are working on, the research you have done, and the steps taken so far to solve it." – Sven
If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
















  • @Sven it's not a request for a product, service or learning material. It is a an implementation question. Perhaps an app can accomplish this, or perhaps a combination of shell scripts, services other than SSH/SFTP are required. In the end, it is a technical question and other questions which are far more "off topic" have been previously posted and answered on this site. Here's one, by way of example: serverfault.com/questions/119186/…
