Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times (lemmy.world)

Same here. I'm just installing it normally, and my nextcloud instance is just chugging along.

For me it's the opposite. I tried to use nextcloud for years, installing the normal way, and it always broke for no reason. I just started using it on docker and it has been perfect, fingers crossed.

Interesting, when I used docker on a proxmox build, it would give me trouble. Once I installed it the normal way on an Ubuntu build, it was good to go.

I wonder why that is?

Fingers crossed that it continues to work for you in the current configuration!

Because when you're using Docker, you shouldn't use Proxmox. And to be fair, I don't understand why people are using Proxmox at all.

[–] rummagefibre 2 points 11 months ago

I used Proxmox because it was free and open source with backup tools integrated into the system.
