Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

It needs some tweaks to be snappy. The defaults are really bad.

Thank you for these suggestions. But I have a few questions.
How can I do the 2nd and 3rd point if I am using docker/podman containers?
Why is ClamAV useless?
Not sure how to do that in docker, I’ve run mine as a plain old PHP-FPM site for years and years. It might be something that can be tweaked using config files or environment variables, or might require building a custom image.
ClamAV is slow and doesn’t catch the nastiest of malware. Its entire approach is stuck in 2008. It’s better than nothing for screening emails, but for a private file store it won’t help much considering that you’ll already have the files on your system somewhere. And most importantly, it slows down file uploads 10x and increases CPU load substantially. The only good reason to use ClamAV for nextcloud is if you will be sued if you don’t!
ClamAV is good for detecting simple threats. However, I hear it eats ram.
For the 2nd point, see https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constraints/#limit-a-containers-access-to-memory
It's in the config file. https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/config_sample_php_parameters.html
This has me curious, not to derail the topic, but I always hear that ClamAV is the best way to go for Linux. Is there a free solution that you would recommend in place of it?
I think the best solution is to use good internet hygiene
Out of curiosity, why isn't this stuff done by default?
MySQL is still pretty slow
it should work with mariaDB which is faster in my experience
You can do all of that and NC will still be the piece of shirt that is it is fail to sync stuff.
You are like the most miserable poster with so many axes to grind.
Relax man.
Or one of the few people who tested the thing and spend time taking screenshots and pointing out issues unlike most others...
Git gud.
I've never had such an experience in 2 years
Well I only saw problems with about 1TB of small files. I'm not sure if they were actually caused by the volume of the data or because there were multiple using syncing parts of that data as well.
My setup has no where near that much data. Maybe it gets bogged down with lots of IO.
I will say caching is really important for Nextcloud to be fast
