I feel like I'm having a change of heart on NextCloud... Every time some little thing breaks I have to figure out how to fix it
Really? Nextcloud has been pretty set-and-forget for me.
It largely is, but yesterday the Recognize app broke and I have no idea how to fix it. I think the environment got messed up from an apt-get upgrade? Its little things like that I have to figure out how to fix
Nextcloud AIO has officially hit the 1 year mark for me without any issues. The truck has been to use it as a real Dropbox replacement not a Google Drive with word and all these other integrations. I had it break 3 times due to weird updates because of that the prior year. Using it to mirror/backup files is pretty nice.
Okay, but do you run it in containers or on bare metal?
Bare metal (using the NixOS module, so the manual stuff like database upgrades after an update and such is automated). Only containers that go on my servers are Pterodactyl because it requires it ;)
Ouch, that's awful. Yeah tbh I wouldn't quite trust it to do encryption well. I haven't had any actual problems with Nextcloud but it does feel like it's held together by duck tape.
