Just thinking of ditching nextcloud and its just too much for my family use. All i needis carddav, caldav and file sync. Have a Debian VM running on Scale and was thinking of using Cloudron docker install. Is this the way others are installing on VMs?

      Yeah, I also selfhosted it for years myself. But I was adding more and more services to my server and it became clear that if I would want to keep Nextcloud I’d need a server with more CPU and RAM because when Nextcloud was running it would after half a day deadlock the server with a load of 120 so I had to hard reboot it twice a day.

      After replacing it with radicale and syncthing I was able to run Mastodon and Lemmy on the same server additionally.

        120? That doesn’t seem normal, what services were you using within NC? Mine sits still with a load of 0. something.

      I think that’s kind of what they meant. I’ve also selfhosted Nextcloud for years, but I only use file sync and calendar/contacts.

      Lately I’ve been feeling that Nextcloud is too big and clunky for just that. Like it’s something I’d love to setup at work or for an org, but that it “feels” to heavy for home use these days.

      I need to check out Radicale, I think.

        Same with me. Nextcloud is the typical it does everything but doesn’t excel in anything
