What you guys are hosting instead of Nextcloud? I'm sick of it. (alien.top)

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.

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.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I've used NextCloud for the past 7-8 years and got tired of the admin tasks and troubleshooting after updates (it was always php causing problems). I switched the the snap package about a year and a half ago, and it's been rock solid ever sense. It runs perfectly, is always up to date, and I don't have to do a damn thing.
