Yeah I just need to clean up my install so it isn't so bogged down.
How is it set up? What are you running it on?
My Nextcloud instance doesn't use a ton of resources. But I'm on a somewhat beefy machine (16GB RAM, 8-core CPU), so YMMV.
You running it on bare metal? Much better that way vs docker in my experience
I've been using a docker stack for Nextcloud for years without issues, after switching to postgres it also got a lot faster
I might switch to AIO. Maybe podman if I get inspired. Bare metal is just way to hard to maintain. I could automate it with Ansible but at that point I might as well use containers.
I've had no problems with the normal nextcloud apache container for the last couple years. I lock to a major version and let it update itself on the minors until I feel like like changing the yaml to the next major. I've gone from 24 to 30 this way without issue.
Actually, I do have to install the contacts and calendar apps from time to time but that's only when I want to use the webUI for them, caldav/carddav has always worked.
AIO is performant and much easier to maintain. If there was a method to try to run Nextcloud in the last decade, I probably tried it, and nothing has compared to the AIO.
I have the docker AIO going for about a year after every other form of install exploded itself. So far so good.
I have yet to install it, but I plan to run it "baremetal" in a Debian VM, would that be better than in a docker, or do I actually need to run it baremetal, in parallel/ on a different system than proxmox? (Or it's own LXC container)
