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:
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.
nextcloud aio docker image. final answer
Best way I've seen to do it.

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.
You don't really need anything to get started, just 20 years of experience.
20 yrs of experience rarely makes things worse I guess.
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?
https://filebrowser.org/ just exposes a filesystem you point it at. Never had problems wit this. For syncing you can use syncthing.
I nearly ditched nextcloud fully for this, but haven't found anything that matches the convenience of nextcloud for family members iPhone
Also filebrowser doesn't yet let you share folders that people can upload to, nor have good photo viewing in a shared folder (without login)
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.

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'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've used it about as long, and I've never seen it as easy to maintain as the AIO container strategy they're on now. It's effortless, and after years of failed updates and rolling shit back via occ, it's night and day. Even NCPi wasn't as bulletproof.
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.
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.
I haven't had issues with syncing files on android. File sync is literally the only feature I use, so I should probably look for a simpler solution.
Now upgrading the fucking thing is a nightmare, not sure if me using docker images makes it worse or better though.
Just use the docker AIO image.
I do, and if you accidentally skip a version when updating it the stupid thing bricks itself, what kind of stupid software can't handle multiple make version updates.
Had to manually reset the version it thinks it was at and roll back to a older sticker image and update one version at a time until I caught up.

Unless something changed in the last few weeks, Android app can't do bidirectional folder sync like you're used to from Google drive, Dropbox or one drive. You can mark a folder for "sync", but try copying something into it, it changing an existing file: no change on the server. I think you can manually open the app, navigate to the folder and open the menu to "sync", but what the hell is the point in having it marked to be synced then? I wanted to use it for my keepass DB for example, where that would be a requirement.
Yes, updates are a nightmare. I'm not on docker (also not sure if better or worse) and every 2nd update sometime significantly breaks that I have to fix manually. Last time, the "group folders" plugin (official, from the Nextcloud devs) broke it so bad that Nextcloud wouldn't even start. I had to go into maintenance mode, disable the plug-in ("app" I guess it's the term?), update it from console, re-enable it, disable maintenance mode. Not pictured: finding out what the god damn problem was this time. I've just about had it...

We'll see if your reading comprehension liabilities extend to self-hosting.
Seafile is extremely easy to set up and does one thing and one thing well.
It does store your data as binaries, so it would be a bit harder to restore than Nextcloud due to that, but I've never had an issue with seafile.
Of course, I didn't have a problem with Nextcloud until an upgrade borked the installation bad enough that even restoring from backup couldn't solve the issue.
SyncThing has been great for me. I tried NextCloud and OwnCloud first, granted years ago, and they were not great. So I've been using SyncThing at least 5 years 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.
@e8d79 which alternative is that?
Hetzner storage share was cheaper for me than renting a vps with some block storage.
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
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.
