Bad stories about nextcloud scare me π I hope Im not gonna jinx myself, but my nextcloud runs super stable for almost a year. I get some errors while updating, but service doesnt stop working and its usually simple fix by following the message it shows.
I removed apps that I dont use (most of them) and web ui became super fast on my budget server
Actually all services are so smooth and almost no issues, maybe beginner luck π
It is fine, but then again I update it often too late which is actually pretty bad. The problem is Nextcloud pushes new features and a high frequency schedule of releases with those at an alarming rate of speed. Perhaps for corporate environments it is not as big of a deal as a professional team can fix obscure bugs with their knowledge and experience on their mirrored test servers, but home users don't have these resources available and public community knowledge and bug fixes need time which that release schedule hinders.
I still wouldn't say it is bad by default, simply because somehow it runs pretty stable for me since a decade. Updates are a pain though with many breaking changes and little bugs.
Open media vault on pi4 is shitting the bed constantly
Yep. Got such a service as well. I've got this one docker container that's supposed to connect to a VPN and provide access from the outside to another one. The bitch keeps just crashing to a point where even "restart policy: always" will give up on it. Doesn't matter too much usually, since I can start the container before I need it, and it will usually run for half a day or so, yet still
This is Seafile for me. Definitely not the "set it and forget it" Google Drive alternative I was hoping for. Thank goodness I have Syncthing backing up important files, but sharing with friends and family is a nuisance.
