Works great for me. I had it running in a snap for awhile, but now I just have it in a proxmox Debian container running a LAMP stack. I have over a terabyte of stuff saved and multiple computers syncing too, so its well used.
Perhaps ironically, lemmy. I had the database catastrophically fail early on, and ever since then federation has been broken with most major instances. I kind of prefer lotide anyway, much more minimalistic, less of a focus on upvotes and downvotes, and the code base is simply enough that I've been able to hop into it and make changes.
Installed it in k3s and then pulled up the Android app but all it does is say every single file is a duplicate and overload my notifications tray while not uploading anything
Nextcloud for me too, would break because of updates requiring manual DB updates sometimes, apps would randomly stop working after updating too, or the 2 times it caused total data loss on all my synced devices and the server itself which required a full restore from backups.
After getting rid of it and switching to Syncthing + Filebrowser + SFTPGo for WebDAV I haven't really had anything break since then (about a year now). Stuff also runs much faster, NC was extremely slow even on good hardware with all their recommended settings for performance.
Well dang, I have Nextcloud installed as a snap (which has been perfectly stable for me when running on Ubuntu Server), but I was thinking of switching over to a docker installation; this thread doesn't exactly fill me with enthusiasm for that idea...
Anecdotal, but Ive had a container running Nextcloud in an LXC on Proxmox along with PiHole, Step CA, Bacula, and quite a few other services and I've had zero downtime since June 2023. Even have Tailscale rigged to use PiHole as the tailnet DNS to have adblocking on the go.
Guess that restart: always value in the Compose config is pulling it's weight lol

I had TOTP die for one user on my Nextcloud. I tried to disable it, but it "didn't exist". I tried to enable it, but it was already enabled. It would come up when I used occ twofactorauth:state user. I ended up fixing it by (force) disabling the app and re-enabling it. It didn't break any other user's TOTP and it fixed problem-user's TOTP. No idea what went wrong, but I get these random issues with Nextcloud sometimes.
The plus side to this is I've learnt how to use Mariadb and I've gotten better at debugging things.
I haven't had any issues with Nextcloud yet. But any torrent client refuses to work. I've tried various qbittorrent containers, transmission, deluge briefly, they all work for a while but eventual refuse to do anything.

I gave up on owncloud just before it became nextcloud because it kept breaking every time I updated it.
Wallabag is similar for me now. I'm stuck on a slightly out of date version because I can't get newer ones to run. Everything else I self host is painless though.
I’m not self hosting an instance, but kbin is super fucking broken lately and it’s getting really frustrating. It’s been about a week. I submitted a ticket in their Git repo, but no response.
The most-recent release of lemmy dicked up outbound federation pretty badly on the instance I use.
For me it’s Pi-hole. For six months it runs fine, then dies so horribly I resort to snapshot rollback and we both pretend it never happened.

The snap version of nextcloud has been pretty solid for me, except for the time that I installed the nextcloud backup app.
The very same reason why I gave up on Nextcloud. Too many nasty surprises.
To be honest, no. I run in a Truenas Jail, and its stable for me. Just a bit slow for big files sometimes.
Paperless often randomly stops accepting new documents. I have to wait several hours or restart it.
Invidious. It's to be expected for something like that though.
My Nextcloud has been flawless. The only issue I've had was NFS permissions. I have automatic update setup for docker so it stays up to date.
Care to share what broke?
I didn't realize that next Cloud was so bad, might I recommend people having issues try Seafile? Also open source and I've been using it for many years without issues. It doesn't have as many features and it doesn't look as shiny but it's rock solid
Have a random meme from my instance
Nextcloud ist just fine. Using it since more than 7 years now with zero problems
I'm having a hard time believing that.. There is a difference between being able to fix the update issues every time without problems or having no problems at all. But if so, neat.
Open media vault on pi4 is shitting the bed constantly
Invidious. It got so bad that I just gave up and switched to piped which has been... well, not perfect, but definitely far more consistent.
