I’ve gotten a bit tired of Nextcloud as of late an I’m curious it is a viable alternative. I like having Nextcloud Talk but I can live without it.

You running it on bare metal? Much better that way vs docker in my experience
I’ve been using a docker stack for Nextcloud for years without issues, after switching to postgres it also got a lot faster
Yeah I’ve heard this from a few people with similar setups, Postgres does seem to alleviate a lot of the performance bottleneck from running virtualized for whatever reason.
I might switch to AIO. Maybe podman if I get inspired. Bare metal is just way to hard to maintain. I could automate it with Ansible but at that point I might as well use containers.
I’ve had no problems with the normal nextcloud apache container for the last couple years. I lock to a major version and let it update itself on the minors until I feel like like changing the yaml to the next major. I’ve gone from 24 to 30 this way without issue.
Actually, I do have to install the contacts and calendar apps from time to time but that’s only when I want to use the webUI for them, caldav/carddav has always worked.
I have the docker AIO going for about a year after every other form of install exploded itself. So far so good.
AIO is performant and much easier to maintain. If there was a method to try to run Nextcloud in the last decade, I probably tried it, and nothing has compared to the AIO.
I have yet to install it, but I plan to run it “baremetal” in a Debian VM, would that be better than in a docker, or do I actually need to run it baremetal, in parallel/ on a different system than proxmox? (Or it’s own LXC container)
I’m honestly not sure, you’re discussing a few corner cases that I haven’t tried out personally. I think you’d just have to do your own testing to see. I suspect the more layers of abstraction, the more they could potentially slow you down, but can’t say if it would be experienced the same way some of us who ran in docker had observed.
Proxmox is quite powerful, if you get it setup and running smoothly it would be awesome to hear back about how you did it!
From personal experience, Docker is fine. Just be sure to use postgres instead of the default mariadb and you’re golden
