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.

    Do you have redis talking to nextcloud over the unix socket or just regular TCP? The former is apparently another way to speed up nextcloud, but I’m struggling to understand to get containers using the unix socket instead.

      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

                POSTGRES_PASSWORD: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
                PGDATA: "/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata"
              volumes:

          REDIS

          version: '3.8'
          services:

              command:
                - /data/redis.conf
                - --loglevel
                - verbose
              volumes:
                - type: bind
                  source: ./data
                  target: /data
                - type: volume
                  source: redis-socket
                  target: /var/run
              logging:

            redis-socket:
              name: redis-socket
          

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

          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 :-)
