For me Nextcloud AIO works. Still I don’t like how “unstable” NC is. There’s always something that does not work in any setup. Wish it was more stable or there would be a better alternative. For me it’s videos. But only those that are MP4 and have their moov atom at the end of the file. They can’t be played.

It’s a headache. Set up Ente Photos just for that. Good side effect is that the images from my family and myself are stored E2EE encrypted on the self hosted Ente Photos instance.
I run nextcloud on bare metal on NixOS, but I’m planning on moving it to a NixOS container
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.
Been running NC since 5+ years without any issue 🤷
lol this is such a classic Linux trope
Person A: I can’t seem to get this to work! Arg!
Person B: I have been running this for years with no issues. It just works!
Right? I’ve been using NextCloud/OwnCloud since ~2015. It’s a very standard LAMP app, nothing fancy going on at all. Give it enough memory and you’ll never have any problems, same as any other web service.
My only problem is trying to use it with the android app. I have to manually sync it like all the time which is a pain in the ass when I forget to do it before I go out the door and my shopping list isn’t update. That and it won’t sync files I create on the phone to the server
Yeah that sounds bad. Did you disable battery optimization for the app?
I’ve been running it for years. It has issues but they are gradually going away.
If you want reasonable performance, you’ll need this:
747.41kW, or around six and a quarter NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 racks. Max power consumption was rated for around 1.75MW.
I think my electric company would pay me a visit if I fired that bad boy up in my house lmao, to bad the auction closed already. Oh and it closed at 480k lmfaooo
I have a gif of you powering it on at home:
I like my Kubernetes setup at work. It runs Nextcloud, Mattermost, GitLab, company website, several embedded firmware OTA update sites, a few internal apps. Nextcloud was pretty easy to install on it with Helm, just a single command line and a yaml file to specify domain, settings, etc. I had some teething issues in my early setup where the database would get wiped inexplicably, but it’s been running smooth for years now. (Yes, I know, bad juju running databases on Kubernetes…I’m used to it and it mostly works)
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.
Out of curiosity, what do you use instead?
Turkey feather quill and Egyptian papyrus.
I’ve never heard of either app, are they open source?
What distro are you on?
Temple OS.
Right now I’m using a synology nas and its 1st party programs, but trying to break away to a more foss-friendly environment. Drive, Contacts, Calendar/Tasks, just work and don’t require any fiddling so until a worthy opponent shows up, I’m kinda stuck.
I’m there too right now. Got a DS720+ but it’s struggling a little since I’m also self hosting mail through it. I’ve been eyeing to use NC as a replacement for everything but do get mixed feelings from threads like these lol
I hope to in the future get a proper little mini PC with a disk enclosure in the future to have as a replacement for that however!
@wreckedcarzz @Zelaf got #seafile ?
I’ve looked briefly into seafile; I’m fine, happy really, with the synology for file hosting, it’s just the caldav, the photo management (I have immich but there’s no easy way to move albums from syno to imm), stuff like that. And the fact that it all works together (reverse proxy, apps, web UI…) makes it illogical to move away for anything else than ‘principle’ or ‘insufficient hardware’.
I have truenas running on a proxmox system but it appears it wants more than one drive? But I don’t have matching drives for raid at the moment. That was/is something I’m looking into longer term, once I decouple the data from the services.
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…
Currently using Nextcloud AIO and it’s pretty decent, though I’ve got 16 vCPU and 32 GB of RAM allocated to it right now, though it’s only using 10% CPU and ~7 GB of RAM at the moment.
I think it takes a while to warm up once you start adding data to it, especially depending on the plug-ins you add and amount of data.
I’m running it decently on a Raspberry Pi 4B. No less latency than a commercial cloud solution like OneDrive in my experience. Could be faster, though.
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 used or it used me for a couple of years. Then while looking for a replacement I found the snap version. I installed it in a fresh Ubuntu VM and it just works.
I installed it on bare metal in Arch Linux, cause it’s more fun that way.
You’re a monster…
I also did it back when next cloud demanded a version of php that wasn’t yet in the Arch repos. Fun times.
Running a Docker container now.
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.
Hetzner storage share was cheaper for me than renting a vps with some block storage.
nextcloud aio docker image. final answer
Nope, the document server didn’t work.
onlyoffice you mean?
Both, couldn’t get it to work. I outsource groupware now.
Does this allow for easy upgrades and/or are there any issues with local storage? I used to run it about an age and a half ago, but I’ve recently wanted to spin an instance back up for a few reasons. These things change so fast, I looked away and now I’m out of the loop.
Upgrades are easy, backups are really good, if upgrades mess up, you can restore from backup even if NC is hosed. As for local storage, I never did it, but here’s the docs for it! https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/external_storage/local.html
Thanks. Might do that this weekend.
Best way I’ve seen to do it.
also a linux user their thoughts on arch
