It is fine, but then again I update it often too late which is actually pretty bad. The problem is Nextcloud pushes new features and a high frequency schedule of releases with those at an alarming rate of speed. Perhaps for corporate environments it is not as big of a deal as a professional team can fix obscure bugs with their knowledge and experience on their mirrored test servers, but home users don't have these resources available and public community knowledge and bug fixes need time which that release schedule hinders.

I still wouldn't say it is bad by default, simply because somehow it runs pretty stable for me since a decade. Updates are a pain though with many breaking changes and little bugs.

My Nextcloud has been flawless. The only issue I've had was NFS permissions. I have automatic update setup for docker so it stays up to date.

Care to share what broke?

I wish there were an alternative in a sane programming language that I could actually contribute to. For some reason PHP is extremely sparse in its logging and errors mostly only pop up on the frontend. Having to debug errors after an update and following some guide to edit a file in the live env that sets a debugging variable, puts the system in maintenance mode and stores additional state in the DB is scary.

Plus PHP is so friggin slow. Nextcloud takes noticeable time to load nearly anything. Even instances hosted by pros that only host nextcloud are just slow.

Open media vault on pi4 is shitting the bed constantly

Yep. Got such a service as well. I've got this one docker container that's supposed to connect to a VPN and provide access from the outside to another one. The bitch keeps just crashing to a point where even "restart policy: always" will give up on it. Doesn't matter too much usually, since I can start the container before I need it, and it will usually run for half a day or so, yet still

The snap version of nextcloud has been pretty solid for me, except for the time that I installed the nextcloud backup app.

Not using Nextcloud. Found it a bit difficult to deploy and maintain than OwnCloud. Since then, I haven‘t had any problems with OwnCloud.

My wonderful MongoDB powered, old as fuck mFi vm. It's running on Ubuntu 14 because that's the last supported version and Ubiquiti abandoned this shit decades ago. It's set to restore and reboot once a month. That usually keeps shit working lol

Happily using NextCloud AIO without any major issue.
