If you want reasonable performance, you’ll need this:
747.41kW, or around six and a quarter NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 racks. Max power consumption was rated for around 1.75MW.
I think my electric company would pay me a visit if I fired that bad boy up in my house lmao, to bad the auction closed already. Oh and it closed at 480k lmfaooo
I have a gif of you powering it on at home:
Been running NC since 5+ years without any issue 🤷
lol this is such a classic Linux trope
Person A: I can’t seem to get this to work! Arg!
Person B: I have been running this for years with no issues. It just works!
Right? I’ve been using NextCloud/OwnCloud since ~2015. It’s a very standard LAMP app, nothing fancy going on at all. Give it enough memory and you’ll never have any problems, same as any other web service.
My only problem is trying to use it with the android app. I have to manually sync it like all the time which is a pain in the ass when I forget to do it before I go out the door and my shopping list isn’t update. That and it won’t sync files I create on the phone to the server
Yeah that sounds bad. Did you disable battery optimization for the app?
I’ve been running it for years. It has issues but they are gradually going away.
I really really tried to like it, but I would constantly run into issues with files not deleting properly and would get database errors regularly. If the intent was to separate management of the underlying database, all it did was cause headaches.
Not to mention, not being able to easily just go under the hood to the file system and remove something drove me up a wall. Just let me delete my files, dammit!
I ended up just using a big-standard file share on TrueNAS.
NC seems to either work completely or it doesnt, barely an inbetween there.
Its fine for me for two years and going. But I only have two users and maybe 200 GB of data. My 16 gigs of ram barely goes above 20%, my 4 thread oldschool xeon usually stays at <5% usage.
Doing sysadmin stuff for 20 yrs probably helps though.
You don’t really need anything to get started, just 20 years of experience.
20 yrs of experience rarely makes things worse I guess.
Stop reminding me that I haven’t used it for half a year since it broke for the 4th time and I am too lazy to fix it…
Works great until you have to update and you don’t know you have to do fancy stuff not to break things. I didn’t know I had to follow special instructions until things stopped working, and even then I couldn’t get it to update and it’s all borked now.
What else works for people lately just for the cloud files part?
https://filebrowser.org/ just exposes a filesystem you point it at. Never had problems wit this. For syncing you can use syncthing.
I nearly ditched nextcloud fully for this, but haven’t found anything that matches the convenience of nextcloud for family members iPhone
Also filebrowser doesn’t yet let you share folders that people can upload to, nor have good photo viewing in a shared folder (without login)
The best NC setup, is uninstalling NC. Seriously, I spent a month getting that monstrosity to work and not bitch about configurations OUT OF THE BOX that it does NOT HAVE A UI FOR just to find out that half of the ‘apps’ are half-baked buggy messes and the other are out of date, half-baked buggy messes. A to-do system without repeating item availability was the last one I learned about before salting the earth of that hopeless project.
…
Actually got me pissed off, thinking about it again. Jesus.
Out of curiosity, what do you use instead?
Turkey feather quill and Egyptian papyrus.
I’ve never heard of either app, are they open source?
What distro are you on?
Temple OS.
Right now I’m using a synology nas and its 1st party programs, but trying to break away to a more foss-friendly environment. Drive, Contacts, Calendar/Tasks, just work and don’t require any fiddling so until a worthy opponent shows up, I’m kinda stuck.
I’m there too right now. Got a DS720+ but it’s struggling a little since I’m also self hosting mail through it. I’ve been eyeing to use NC as a replacement for everything but do get mixed feelings from threads like these lol
I hope to in the future get a proper little mini PC with a disk enclosure in the future to have as a replacement for that however!
@wreckedcarzz @Zelaf got #seafile ?
I’ve looked briefly into seafile; I’m fine, happy really, with the synology for file hosting, it’s just the caldav, the photo management (I have immich but there’s no easy way to move albums from syno to imm), stuff like that. And the fact that it all works together (reverse proxy, apps, web UI…) makes it illogical to move away for anything else than ‘principle’ or ‘insufficient hardware’.
I have truenas running on a proxmox system but it appears it wants more than one drive? But I don’t have matching drives for raid at the moment. That was/is something I’m looking into longer term, once I decouple the data from the services.
Seen a small company share a nextcloud server running on a old VMware cluster with 2 cores and like 8g of ram allocated… What are people doing with their nextcloud servers?
I installed it on bare metal in Arch Linux, cause it’s more fun that way.
You’re a monster…
I’m still using Nextcloud, have been for only 2-3 years, but it’s getting to the point where I’m more annoyed about it than appreciating the usefulness
It’s not just being slow, it issues with the install. I’m pretty sure these days I’d be better of with specialized individual services than this one monster that die absolutely nothing well. It still can’t even sync files on Android ffs. I’d consider this core functionality.
SyncThing has been great for me. I tried NextCloud and OwnCloud first, granted years ago, and they were not great. So I’ve been using SyncThing at least 5 years now.
It doesn’t really fill all the basic use cases I have either unfortunately. But it will probably be my fall back, yes.
Are people really getting skill issued by Nextcloud? The official docker images always worked well for me. I used the Nextcloud apache docker image, connected it with postgresql and a nginx reverse proxy that handles SSL. Never had any major problems with Nextcloud. I only stopped selfhosting because I found a cheaper alternative that handles Nextcloud hosting for me.
@e8d79 which alternative is that?
Hetzner storage share was cheaper for me than renting a vps with some block storage.
I’ve been using it (3 different installs) since the Owncloud fork with very few issues
Very interested in what issues people are coming across
I’ve used it about as long, and I’ve never seen it as easy to maintain as the AIO container strategy they’re on now. It’s effortless, and after years of failed updates and rolling shit back via occ, it’s night and day. Even NCPi wasn’t as bulletproof.
I just use dietpi’s configuration lol
nextcloud sounds like a good way to get vmware’d to me but what do i know.
🤔
it seems pretty cool but i don’t like anything that is heavily integrated for principle reasons.
People have problems with Nextcloud? You only have to be careful when upgrading major versions of Nextcloud or its database. It’s your fault if you’re using the latest tag.
