What you guys are hosting instead of Nextcloud? I'm sick of it. (alien.top)

I am hosting more than 10 services currently but only Nextcloud sends me errors periodically and only Nextcloud is super extremely painfully slow. I quit this sh*t. No more troubleshooting and optimization.

There are mainly 4 services in Nextcloud I'm using:

  • Files: as simple server for upload and download binaries
  • Calendar (with DAVx5): as sync server without web UI
  • Notes: simple note-taking
  • Network folder: mounted on Linux dolphin

Could you recommend me the alternatives for these? All services are supposed to be exposed by HTTPS, so authentication like login is needed. And I've tried note-taking apps like Joplin or trillium but couldn't like it.

Thanks in advance.

This is concerning to me because I’ve been considering ditching Synology and spinning up nextcloud. I like Synology drive but I’m tired of the underpowered hardware and dumb roadblocks and vendor lock-in nonsense. I’m very curious what you end up doing!

Also not OP. I run nextcloud on 10th gen i3 on spinning rust and performance is good. I run it on LXC container though so without docker

How did you Spin it up in an LXC Container? I cant find any install Tutorials or Files for that. Do you have a link or something for me?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I create LXC container and then just install apache2, php and mariadb by hand with apt, then I install nextcloud from sources.

You can try this tutorial as its very close to what I did: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/example_ubuntu.html
