Go to NextCloud

Is NextCloud self-hosting still viable?

Thumbnail image: Did you know that puzzles were invented as early as 2300 B.C.? And yet we still get caught up in silly “click the squares with a stoplight” puzzles to prove that we’re not a robot. There’s a better way, and silent authentication is the path out of the prehistoric ages. ‘Bout time!

I’ve been using Nextcloud AIO for a while now, and it has never caused any problems—updating it is great too.

The apps are causing problems. After updates my log was full. The one with the suspicious logins was a pita.

I have disabled now the non essentials and I will see how it goes...

Not for people that ask this question

Exactly. Everyone tries to start with docker because its "easier," and then follows some random guide and then they can't figure out why everything is busted.

The official docs are excellent for bare metal or VM hosting. I've been hosting nextcloud for years and literally never had a problem I couldn't solve with the official docs, but it's like people are allergic to looking at documentation.

I stopped using Linuxserver Nextcloud. I had problems with the android app, with Colabora office and other small bugs.

I now use Nextcloud AOI and it's running rocksolid on a N100.

I let other people test it who use Google Drive for business. They claim it's even faster then that.

I used the variant without docker. Self hosted on my own server for 4 years. Never got any problems.

I've set up Apache+MariaDB+Nextcloud manually on my VPS back in 2017, because I didn't understand Docker. Still running and never gave me any trouble with updates.

Sure. I use Debian and no docker. Not hard.
