What you guys are hosting instead of Nextcloud? I'm sick of it. - eviltoast

I am hosting more than 10 services currently but only Nextcloud sends me errors periodically and only Nextcloud is super extremely painfully slow. I quit this sh*t. No more troubleshooting and optimization.

There are mainly 4 services in Nextcloud I’m using:

  • Files: as simple server for upload and download binaries
  • Calendar (with DAVx5): as sync server without web UI
  • Notes: simple note-taking
  • Network folder: mounted on Linux dolphin

Could you recommend me the alternatives for these? All services are supposed to be exposed by HTTPS, so authentication like login is needed. And I’ve tried note-taking apps like Joplin or trillium but couldn’t like it.

Thanks in advance.

    I have both Postgres and Redis talking to Nextcloud through their respective unix sockets; I store the sockets in a named volume, so I can mount it on whatever containers need to reach them.

        Sure:

        POSTGRES

        ---
version: '3.8'
services:
  postgres:
    container_name: postgres
    image: postgres:14-alpine
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
      PGDATA: "/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata"
    volumes:
      - type: bind
        source: ./data
        target: /var/lib/postgresql/data
      - type: volume
        source: postgres-socket
        target: /run/postgresql
    logging:
      driver: json-file
      options:
        max-size: 2m
    restart: unless-stopped
networks:
  default:
    external:
      name: backend
volumes:
  postgres-socket:
    name: postgres-socket

        REDIS

        ---
version: '3.8'
services:
  redis:
    image: redis:7.2-alpine
    command:
      - /data/redis.conf
      - --loglevel
      - verbose
    volumes:
      - type: bind
        source: ./data
        target: /data
      - type: volume
        source: redis-socket
        target: /var/run
    logging:
      driver: json-file
      options:
        max-size: 2m
    restart: unless-stopped
networks:
  default:
    external:
      name: backend
volumes:
  redis-socket:
    name: redis-socket

        Here’s redis.conf, it took me a couple of tries to get it just right:

        # create a unix domain socket to listen on
unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis.sock
unixsocketperm 666
# protected-mode no
requirepass rrrrrrrrrrrrr
bind 0.0.0.0

daemonize no

# maximum memory allowed for redis

# how redis will evice old objects - least recently used

always-show-logo yes

        The environment.txt file is hostnames, logins, passwords, etc…

        The zz-docker.conf file sets some process tuning and log format, some might not even be necessary:

        [global]
daemonize = no
error_log = /proc/self/fd/2
log_limit = 8192

[www]
access.log = /proc/self/fd/2
access.format = "%R - %u %t \"%m %r%Q%q\" %s %f %{mili}d %{kilo}M %C%%"
catch_workers_output = yes
decorate_workers_output = no
clear_env = no

user = www-data
group = www-data

listen = 9000
listen = /var/www/html/.fpm-sock
listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data
listen.mode = 0666
listen.backlog = 512

pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 16
pm.start_servers = 6
pm.min_spare_servers = 4
pm.max_spare_servers = 6
pm.process_idle_timeout = 30s;
pm.max_requests = 512

        The opcache_cli.conf file has a single line:

        opcache.enable_cli=1

        I don’t remember why it’s there but it’s working so I’m not touching it :-D

        Good luck :-)
