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.

I agree with this. It needs a good amount of CPU cycle and RAM. Raspi struggled for me too.

My NC instance runs on a 24GB RAM, 4 CPU Ampere A1 host(Oracle), and still struggles. YMMV.

And it struggles as a photo backup host an i5-7xxx and 16GB RAM at home.

It's not absurdly slow, it's just...irritating sometimes.

Whta db are you using

[–] lannistersstark@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Postgres.

Also using redis, did all the typical perf checks listed on NC site etc.

Yeah, Ive got this in my setup as well and its been pretty slow. I thought it was a network thing because I'm currently using Tmobile home internet but switching to a fiber optic network with 500Mbps up and down soon. Im really hoping that changes things

There are performance tuning tweaks you can do on NextCloud like memory caching etc.

Ooo Lovely! I’ll look into that!
