I run Nextcloud for this. Never understood the complaints about it, I find it hard to believe everyone’s so short of CPU power that Nextcloud is anything more than a rounding error running in the background.
There’s half a dozen of us using it for shared calendars, files, and contacts.
Currently around 6TB of files, a couple of hundred or so contacts in the shared contacts list, and many recurring (and one off) events.
Been working perfectly since before Nextcloud forked from OwnCloud.
I’ve been using Nextcloud since it forked from OwnCloud (… and used OwnCloud before that). It’s gone from a VPS, to bare metal on dedicated hosting, and now self hosted as a docker container because we’ve finally got fibre internet.
I’ve got around 6TB or so hosted for my small business, with shared directories for different levels of file access, shared contact lists, shared calendars, and a publicly accessible area for things like email attachments (works with a Thunderbird plugin to automatically host and link large attachments with a password) and uploads from customers (they can only upload, no viewing or deleting).
It’s incredible, and I’ve never had the issues people complain so much about. The worst I ever experienced was using snap and occasionally an automatically updated version simply wouldn’t work… So I’d just roll back to the last version and manually update a few months later when I remembered.
Currently using the Nextcloud AIO docker image which includes Borg backups. They get stored on another disk to Nextcloud, which gets automatically backed up to Crashplan.
I never had any success using Nextcloud with any type of cloud storage. It was always slow as molasses, even by normal Nextcloud standards.
I just bought a JBOD and store the data myself locally, with a remote backup instead.
I believe it is cheaper long term this way, though with energy costs on the up and up that may not always be the case. Does mean I have super fast access to the content when I want it though.
I’ve got 30x4TB disks, just because second hand enterprise gear is so cheap. I’ll slowly replace the 4TB SAS with larger capacity SATA to make use of the spin down functionality of unraid. I don’t need the extra speed of SAS and I wouldn’t mind saving a few watt-hours.
(I’m just shy of 500tb and my server holds 38 disks.)
That means every one of your disks is >13TB? That’s expensive!
I love healthchecks. It’s so simple and easy to incorporate in to… anything much?
I’ve run Nextcloud since OwnCloud was the only option, with zero issues on any setup - be it direct, via snap, or via docker.
(EDIT: Out of interest I looked up the first subdomain I can remember using - it sent my username the login details in February 2015 so that’s over a decade now!).
On a cheap VPS, a dedicated box, and now self hosted since I finally have a decent enough connection to support it. Ran out of storage on the VPS, then the 4TB dedicated box, now on 120TB self hosted (Nextcloud only using around 6TB mind you). CPU and RAM were never an issue.
Mostly documents (PDF, ODS, ODT), photos and videos from jobs, and some people (myself included) use the storage to back up their phone gallery.
I use shared and private folders, shared and private calendars, and shared and private contact lists on Android, iOS, and PCs (Windows and Linux). I have a public upload directory for customers to send us files and often share files directly using expiring read only links.
It’s easy and it works, no idea wtf people are doing to have so much drama with it.
I’ve got 512GB of RAM in my server, and 128GB of RAM on my desktop cause you can never have too much.
I used to like Ubuntu LTS because it was just Debian that wasn’t quite as out of date, but more recent installs seem to suggest that you only get all the patches if you subscribe to their paid service? Not sure what the fine print is on that.
This box was turned on, Nextcloud installed, and never touched since (side from apt updates).

I just checked on Linux (Thunderbird 128.5.2esr, Opensuse Tumbleweed) and the behaviour is the same.
If I search “PMASUP236”, it returns the email as a result.
If I search “SUP236” it does not.
This is using the normal search function (top of screen in current version). Quick Filter does not look at attachments at all by the looks. The “Attachments” toggle is only a has / does not have attachment filter.
Yes but I can’t search by the name of the attachment.
I just searched for text thats in an attachment filename and it worked - with a caveat. I have a filename called “PMASUP236 - Operate Vehicles In The Field.pdf” on an email. There is no reference to the PMASUP236 in any other part of any email.
If I search “PMASUP236”, it returns the email as a result.
If I search “SUP236” it does not.
If I search “Operate Vehicles” it returns that email (along with a heap of others containing the word “Operate” and “Vehicles” in any order).
Admittedly this is on Windows at work, though I do run Thunderbird on Linux at home. Will have to try it there to confirm.
Firefox. And Thunderbird. And donate to Mozilla.
Don’t really see the point in using a fork that, by the time you boil it down, just takes Firefox’s work and then releases it later.
I want a Google and Apple alternative and I’d rather support it at the top of the chain.
Many years ago I did post mix installs. Because we were subcontract, it was not unusual to install a system for one company, then replace it under the banner of another company, and then rip that out and install another system on behalf of the first company again.
I can think of at least 3 different venues in our CBD that I swapped like that.
What it did was make me real good at ensuring anything I installed was easy to follow and work with afterwards… Cause it was probably going to be me again lol
