I didn’t realize that next Cloud was so bad, might I recommend people having issues try Seafile? Also open source and I’ve been using it for many years without issues. It doesn’t have as many features and it doesn’t look as shiny but it’s rock solid

Have a random meme from my instance

sebsch,

Nextcloud ist just fine. Using it since more than 7 years now with zero problems

I’m having a hard time believing that… There is a difference between being able to fix the update issues every time without problems or having no problems at all. But if so, neat.

thisisawayoflife, in Nextcloud Performance Improvements

I wonder what performance impact there would be if you were to move pgsql onto bare metal with enough ram dedicated to caching all of the db data (think: i5 or i7 nuc). That’s going to be my next step with my homelab; I want to migrate everything to a single db host with a lot of RAM and M2 storage and avoid the db process replication I have going on. I have no performance complaints with NC currently, I’m running PHP cache and redis as well as image preview and imaginary.

For years, I had an unstable unraid server. I was fixing it every couple of days after a lockup. I had decided that unraid sucked. When it was up for a week I celebrated. Every one of my dockers was a suspect. I learned to hate all of them.

Then I shitcanned the next cloud docker.

Been up for months without a hiccup.

Try MySQL instead of MariaDB. They have some performance tweaks in version 10 that aren’t present in MariaDB.

Also, tune your MySQL (or MariaDB) server. Make sure all tables use InnoDB. Enable the slow query log and analyze slow queries (there may be missing indices). If there’s a lot of unique queries, increase the query cache size.

The easy approach is to run MySQLTuner after the MySQL or MariaDB server has been up for at least a week, and go through its suggestions.

There shouldn’t be a significant difference in performance between PostgreSQL and MySQL/MariaDB if both have been optimized. Out-of-the-box config isn’t ideal for a production system.

Depends on how you’re using it. You can wrong an absolutely insane amount of performance out of postgres that you cannot with MySQL.

I wonder how much next cloud leaves on the table?

When I first deployed Nextcloud, it was just like this. Random crashes, lockups, weird user signin issues, slow and clunky.

But one day it just started working and was super stable. I didn’t do anything, still not sure what fixed it lol.

Paperless often randomly stops accepting new documents. I have to wait several hours or restart it.

I don’t, because I switch it with something better if something like that happens.

My Nextcloud has been flawless. The only issue I’ve had was NFS permissions. I have automatic update setup for docker so it stays up to date.

Care to share what broke?

I dunno what you guys are doing that makes your nextcloud die without touching it. Mine runs happily until I decide to update it, and that usually goes fine, too. I don’t use docker for it, tho.

Just dont update it then

crusa187,

It’s the containerization causing this imo. I also host nextcloud on bare metal and it’s quite stable

9488fcea02a9, (edited )

I’ve been reading nextcloud forums/reddit/lemmy/etc. for years now, and i feel like 90% of the problems are from people using docker or whatever easy one-click solution is out there

I’ve been running NC the old fashioned way for years now and i’ve never had problems of NC dying for no reason.

Have i had issues? Of course… Not not like the ones people keep coming here and shitting on NC

The only times i’ve had major issues and it was actually a problem with nextcloud, is buggy major version releases… So i never install a new major release until X.0.1 these days. Havent really had problems since

bdonvr, (edited ) in Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times

I’ve setup Nextcloud but have done next to nothing with it.

My Lemmy instance gives me the most problems, but it’s also the only publicly available service I run. Mostly the issue is it seems to have a memory leak that forces me to restart it every few days.

Everything else has been completely rock solid for me, running on a mini pc (formerly a pi4 until I wanted to start doing stuff with Jellyfin and needed more power for transcoding) on OpenSUSE Leap all in docker containers. Makes it insanely easy to move stuff. I had no issues basically just copying the docker-compose files and data and bringing them up even when switching architectures.

In my own personal experience, Nextcloud;

  • Needs constant attention to prevent falling over
  • Administration is a mess
  • Takes far too long to get used to its 'little ways’
  • Basics like E2EE don’t work
  • Sync works when it feels like it
  • Updating feels like russian roulette
cyberpunk007, (edited )

Updating from my experience is not Russian roulette. It always requires manual intervention and drives me mad. Half the time I just wget the new zip and copy my config file and restart nginx lol.

Camera upload has been fantastic for Android, but once in a while it shits its brains out thinking there are conflicts when there are none and I have to tell it to keep local AND keep server side to make them go away.

The update without fail tells me it doesn’t work due to non-standard folders being present. So, I delete ‘temp’. After the upgrade is done, it tells me that ‘temp’ is missing and required.

Other than that it’s quite stable though… Unless you dare to have long file names or folder depths.

cyberpunk007,

This could be it, but I also remember reading once it might be something to do with php.ini timeout settings too

cm0002,

It’s like…having a toddler LMAO my little digital toddler lololol

TooLazyDidntName, in Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times

Works great for me. I had it running in a snap for awhile, but now I just have it in a proxmox Debian container running a LAMP stack. I have over a terabyte of stuff saved and multiple computers syncing too, so its well used.

Invidious. It’s to be expected for something like that though.

Installed it in k3s and then pulled up the Android app but all it does is say every single file is a duplicate and overload my notifications tray while not uploading anything
