I am using nextcloud for years now with postgres, redis and configured PHP setttings, but I installed it on the host. Never had any problems, Performance is awesome... Almost everytime I read about problems is with the docker images. The new AIO image shall be bad too, but I can not say anything to this, since I don't use it.
I really like docker, but sometimes it is better to install on the host directly or use an LXC if you need isolation. MinIO is the same... Would not want it in a Container
Maybe seafile could be an option for you π€
Bare metal club! :D
Docker has it usecases but I don't need everything in there. Like I said MinIO for example is just a short oneliner to start.
The most important thing is backup βΊοΈ
That's how I ran my nextcloud for about a decade and never had problems. On my new server I'm running it in docker and so far it seems to work ok.
Good to hear that it is running βΊοΈ
Did you follow a specific guide or did you migrate yourself? Which image are you using? Maybe this could help others
I tried to run it on Debian and on each update it was always complaining the php version too old. Maybe on a distro that doesn't come with ancient packages can be ok...
Been running multiple Nextcloud instances for years on bog standard debian + apache + php-fpm install, as documented in the official docs which do not even mention docker. Upgrades were never a problem. Some apps may suffer some bugs from time to time, but Nextcloud itself works flawlessly. Wrote an ansible role to install, manage and update it. The only thing that deviates from the "recommended" setup is Postgres instead of MariaDB. People need to start following the actual documented/well-supported installation options and not try to stick containers everywhere...
The docs are very good and you have a lot of tutorials for nextcloud, bit mostly they scratch only on the surface. They show you how to install and if you are lucky you see how to setup HTTPS....
But then? Start nextcloud and go to system overview and everything is red and you get warnings about region, php opcache... π Most tutorials end there. It is a pity
Just wanted to +1 your comment. Installing on bare metal host is higher risk, but higher reward as well in terms of stability and performance. In my case Iβm using mariaDB, redis, php, and apache and itβs been solid for years now.
I used it with mariadb before, converting to postgres gave a performanceboost. Don't ask me why but it ran faster
If you are intrested, than here is a guide π
