From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nextcloud needs a heaping helping of a disclaimer before anyone installs it.
Use the Docker or Podman images, they'll include most things a lot of first time users leave out that render Nextcloud buggy and inconsistent. It includes a cache, and about half of the security issues preconfigured out of the box.
Installing it native from a guide with zero explanation beyond "welp, there's the start page" as the final step really doesn't do much for people and there's a lot of guides out there like that for Nextcloud.
Even with Docker, my feeling is that BC is something extremely fragile andd one has to be quite careful when updating it, for instance.
I hope to hell you don't try to use the update button inside NC when running a docker image. The web updater is trash in any case, but in a docker that would be a real fuckup.
You update docker with a docker pull and I've never had it fail. It just quietly upgrades the database and goes along it's merry way.
Nope, I updated with docker-compost stop/pull/up -d and suddenly everything was gone. Luckily I had a local copy of my files. Looks like updating trashed the volume I had mapped to my SSD.
I've been using Nextcloud docker for quite some time, updated it countless times, have never had any problems whatsoever.
Mine crapped out at first minor update, lol. Maybe just bad luck.
