Been running NC since 5+ years without any issue 🤷

nextcloud aio docker image. final answer

I really really tried to like it, but I would constantly run into issues with files not deleting properly and would get database errors regularly. If the intent was to separate management of the underlying database, all it did was cause headaches.

Not to mention, not being able to easily just go under the hood to the file system and remove something drove me up a wall. Just let me delete my files, dammit!

I ended up just using a big-standard file share on TrueNAS.

NC seems to either work completely or it doesnt, barely an inbetween there.

Its fine for me for two years and going. But I only have two users and maybe 200 GB of data. My 16 gigs of ram barely goes above 20%, my 4 thread oldschool xeon usually stays at <5% usage.

Doing sysadmin stuff for 20 yrs probably helps though.

Stop reminding me that I haven't used it for half a year since it broke for the 4th time and I am too lazy to fix it...

Works great until you have to update and you don't know you have to do fancy stuff not to break things. I didn't know I had to follow special instructions until things stopped working, and even then I couldn't get it to update and it's all borked now.

What else works for people lately just for the cloud files part?

The best NC setup, is uninstalling NC. Seriously, I spent a month getting that monstrosity to work and not bitch about configurations OUT OF THE BOX that it does NOT HAVE A UI FOR just to find out that half of the 'apps' are half-baked buggy messes and the other are out of date, half-baked buggy messes. A to-do system without repeating item availability was the last one I learned about before salting the earth of that hopeless project.

...

Actually got me pissed off, thinking about it again. Jesus.

Seen a small company share a nextcloud server running on a old VMware cluster with 2 cores and like 8g of ram allocated... What are people doing with their nextcloud servers?

I installed it on bare metal in Arch Linux, cause it's more fun that way.

I've been using it (3 different installs) since the Owncloud fork with very few issues

Very interested in what issues people are coming across

I'm still using Nextcloud, have been for only 2-3 years, but it's getting to the point where I'm more annoyed about it than appreciating the usefulness

It's not just being slow, it issues with the install. I'm pretty sure these days I'd be better of with specialized individual services than this one monster that die absolutely nothing well. It still can't even sync files on Android ffs. I'd consider this core functionality.

Are people really getting skill issued by Nextcloud? The official docker images always worked well for me. I used the Nextcloud apache docker image, connected it with postgresql and a nginx reverse proxy that handles SSL. Never had any major problems with Nextcloud. I only stopped selfhosting because I found a cheaper alternative that handles Nextcloud hosting for me.

People have problems with Nextcloud? You only have to be careful when upgrading major versions of Nextcloud or its database. It's your fault if you're using the latest tag.

nextcloud sounds like a good way to get vmware'd to me but what do i know.

I just use dietpi's configuration lol

My Nextcloud is better than Office365 and I can video call people with just a link.

also a linux user their thoughts on arch

I run nextcloud on bare metal on NixOS, but I'm planning on moving it to a NixOS container
