Hey Bro. Totally my bad. I thought I did. But I didn't. Cause my midnight eye totally skipped your 2nd response. I am really sorry.

Sadly VPS-0.25G would fall under VPS-0.5G not eligible That was a no money maker special I did and totally forgot about it . Since the MXRoute plan has recurring expense for myself, it is kinda hard to offer it on a ultra budget plan

Aye, known issue and fix is currently being worked on. Should be patched by the weekend.

Due to nature of storage VPS, usage of Next Cloud or similar cloud syncing software is not recomended. You will notice degraded performance.

Boss, what’s the backstory here? I see the STORAGE-3T with 3GB Ram and 4vCores at 3.5ghz. This is way above what Nextcloud recommends.

What NextCloud recommends are the bare minimum, equivalent to running on a Raspberry Pi. NC requires Redis and beefy PHP settings, which means a healthy amount of RAM. It also benefits greatly from having the DB on an SSD. There are multiple scripts out there solely for installing a tuned up NextCloud.

Agreed, but I have used Redis and whatnot on 2-3GB ram VPS. I guess that this depends on how many (concurrent) users the NextCloud instance would have? Kudos to @seriesn to give the warning, by all means.

ReinerNippes has an Ansible script, NextCloudPi was also made to make it run better (it's not solely for the Pi), there's some guy who runs a website almost entirely for tips (can't remember the name, sorry).

Yeah I suppose so, at 3GB RAM, it should work fine for a few users, the bottleneck will become the DB probably. NextCloud is heavy, like pretty heavy. Only those spirits damned Atlassian products are worse than it in terms of bloat.

Jeez, I have just installed it on my Synology. It's actually heavier than Confluence. It somehow uses less resources, but it's way slower. Now I understand.

The amount of stuff you have to keep track of is pretty disturbing, really.
Don't use External Storages too much, because a local cache isn't kept, so it's ridiculously slow.
Don't depend on the JIT Preview Generator, because it is ridiculously slow.
Don't add too many plugins, because they aren't well maintained and are therefore, you guessed it, slow.

And yet, it's still the best option for a self hosted cloud storage. Sad life. It's mostly held back by the architecture they used in the beginning, and rather than fixing it, they choose to just add half-assed features. The improvements in PHP 7 and 7.3 have helped a fair bit, but at the end of the day, how many ways can you polish up a turd?

Systems tend to be well balanced, so TBs of storage comes with plenty of RAM and CPU. That's the only reason it's so widely used, because mostly it doesn't matter how bloated it is, when the resources aren't going to be used otherwise. Plenty of similar systems manage to run in 25% or less resources.

What’s up boss,
Next cloud isn’t the culprit. But people trying to run the full blow suit or those who rely on ui heavily.

I have guys running nextcloud without any issue even on the smaller plans

Rereading my comment, I feel like I might have come across a bit too critical of NC. I'm more used to stuff like RClone, Redis, Nginx etc. which were built with performance, reliability and ease-of-use as the foremost concerns. After that, any project that comes from an enterprise point of view tend to annoy me a bit more than they should.
When setup properly, NC is mostly fine. It's just that it takes a bit too much effort to set it up that annoys me.

Makes 2 of us. I find the UI kind of annoying. Or I am simply getting old. Or both.

For my personal usage, been using owncloud for almost 6 years without any issue.

It's probably both.

OwnCloud is stable, but old. They didn't develop much for years I think, so NC might (might) be faster than them. I wish somebody would just make a open source clone of FileRun, that software seems decently made, all things considered.

Mr. Worldwide here went crazy and giving away too many things. Limited Qty, don't be late.
