Last year the automatic updater was rebooting windows without any warning after the uac prompt. The problem continued for months before being fixed
This year I got an update a week. Very annoying to get the same “why u no reboot? I need updates” question every single time I turn on my PC.
Today when updating it kills explorer.exe without any confirmation and doesn’t bring it back to life.
I don’t think that their paid enterprise customers are doing the beta alpha testers like this. Is it really necessary to push nightlies to end users? It can’t be tested casually for a couple of days then pushed?
I disabled the updates check and will update the nextcloud desktop client manually every 5 years if I can remember. Added an exception to Winget so it doesn’t update it. I lost my patience.
It’s definitely a YMMV situation. I’ve heard from lots of people that it runs solid as a rock in Docker, and from others like you and me where it’s flaky af.
My skills are not impressive at all, but my NC instance is rock solid. Its been running on rpi4 for more than 6 months and then moved to Celeron server a year ago. I have disabled most plugins since I dont use them and its been quite fast. Only 2 users though. Linux/Windows/Android clients are auto updated, but I manually update the server (docker). Hope Im not gonna jinx it lol
I’m glad yours is stable! I don’t know why, but mine, if you’d cut a loud fart near the server Nextcloud would just shit the bed on me. God forbid I try to update Nextcloud.
Like you I had most plugins disabled, and I was the only user. I first ran Nextcloud using NextcloudPi on an rpi4, and that ran solid for like four years. However, when I repurposed that pi and moved Nextcloud to my server in Docker, it just would not reliably run for me no matter what I did. At that point I also wasn’t really using Nextcloud anymore so I just abandoned it as not worth the effort.

I abandoned nextcloud entirely a couple years ago. It was just too damn flaky (self hosted via docker).
It’s definitely a YMMV situation. I’ve heard from lots of people that it runs solid as a rock in Docker, and from others like you and me where it’s flaky af.
I was genuinely concerened I had a skill issue with NC, glad I’m not alone

My experience also.
Ridiculous performance issues plus don’t breath on it level of fragility … no thanks
