Filebrowser for files, Trillium for notes
I used NC with postgresql, apps works fine and pretty smooth in everything. Compared to mysql it definitely feel faster.
But now I have no use for NC, I installed File Browser for file exploring. Super simple web file browser.
Focalboard, for kanban.
Obsidian with sync.
Is there something better than DAVx5? It seems to be too battery hungry compared to Google calendar.
Just came to say I self host baikal too for calendar and address book / tasks
use DavX on my Android phone to keep it in sync and thunderbird on the computer
IMO Joplin is a better idea for note taking
It's the right choice, nextcloud is buggy af, the issue from years ago where it randomly corrupts files is still open too, I got hit by that one and had to completely restore from a backup.
Nextcloud is a large and complex application, it does need more resources than one would probably expect.
Nextcloud macOS and iOS apps make running it a no-brainer for me. Nextcloud on macOS works better than Google Drive.
Went from nextcloud to FileBrowser for web files access, with resilio/syncthing under the hood for synchronisation. My family couldn’t be happier, but yeah - we are not using calendar futures.
I moved Nextcloud from k8s to a well provisioned lxc container and ran a couple of performance boosting commands and it's been working wonders since then
- Files --> syncthing, or ssh access, or vpn to samba
- Calendar --> I recommend radicale (but use google)
- Notes --> Obsidian notes on top of syncthing
I love the idea of nextcloud but it really seems pretty hostile towards hosters I would suggest looking at something like Cryptpad which is at least an upgrade to your personal security.
Nextcloud was painfully slow on a cheap HDD based VPS, I finally moved it to SSD and it's been fast. With redis and SSD its quick. I'd take a look at your system to make sure that's not the cause.
u/Sudden_Cheetah7530 We also use Nextcloud and deploy it on Kubernetes with our Open Source Nextcloud Operator and it works without any issues so far. I hope that helps you too
Good ole manual file sharing and syncthing for my phone pics
Files: SYNCTHING CalcardDav: Baikal Notes: Obsidian with livesync plugin and a couchdb as backend ...yeah and webdav for folder shares inside apples files app
Files: Seafile
Calendar: Radicale
Notes: Joplin
Network Folder: N/A
I use pydio cells for file sharing.
I would have nothing but issues if I ran the docker app on unraid and used the sqlexpress built in. I switched over to CasaOS and use Mariasql and the nextcloud container on it and it has been solid.
Did you tried installing it with snap?
Its just snap install nextcloud and you are done. No config no manual updates and iam having a good time with it. It was a bit tricky to change the main storage folder to another hdd, but its possible.
That maybe fix your Performance issues too if there is something configured wrong, in the other hand snap is a bit slower then a normal install.
Did you try hosting it in a container? I've heard a lot of people had issues with dependencies, PHP, Apache until they moved to a container.
It doesn't solve the optimization though. That's still an issue for people I know who host nextcloud.
Complaints seem to come mostly from people trying to run it on ARM, maybe NC isn't optimized for that architecture.
I'm not entirely convinced that NC is optimised at all!
It's not, it always runs like shit. And I say that lovingly

I've been a loyal owncloud and then nextcloud user but am growing disappointed in the nextcloud android app. It seems like support/development is quickly degrading. There's a file upload conflict big that was introduced in an update in September? and they still haven't rolled back or resolved the issue. https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/11974
