From what I've gathered about Nextcloud, they seem to be a fast paced rolling release model, which breaks often due to their pace.
Since I didn't want to handhold it constantly, their ~~forks~~ — upstream and fork — drew my attention, OwnCloud and OpenCloud — fork from OwnCloud infinitescale — I went with OpenCloud, due to the smaller footprint required.
I'm currently using systemd container services built from the "full" docker compose version. The services I'm hosting are: OpenCloud server, Caddy as a reverse proxy and automatic cert renew, Keycloak for IDM, Collabora office, Apache Tika full version for text search and extraction and Radicale for contacts and calendar. They also recently updated to support EuroOffice.
While it has less features than NextCloud, it runs fine on a 4-core 8GB VPS, though it needs swap when starting for the first time or updating.
IIRC, next cloud is a fork from own cloud who went closed source or something. This is almost a decade ago, so take that with a grain of salt, but I remember own cloud back then pulling some corporate crap, and then next cloud came into existence
Ahh yes, that's correct, I jumbled them together lol.
Welk yeah, not many people know those kinds of details from that long ago lol. I just saw the name one cloud and it all came flashing back
