I recently moved Nextcloud and Gitea from Containers on a Debian VM to Alpine LXCs running Alpine's packages. I've never had Nextcloud's web interface so snappy and my resource usage for both is next to 0. If you're running Proxmox I'd highly recommend trying out Alpine LXCs if they package your services.
Yes, Alpine maintains Nextcloud in their repos. I mount my NFS share to the Proxmox host (you can mount using the gui and set it to any form of storage you want) then bind mount the share folder to the LXC. I moved from docker in a VM to this LXC with no disruption to my data.
