Toot

Calling all @nextcloud Home users (especially those that migrated from Apple’s ecosystem)!

I was about to start self-hosting an instance on my #truenas server. Any thoughts? Opinions? Things you would do differently?

Did you go for a full migration, or is it more piecemeal?

@srfaudio @nextcloud

Nextcloud is incredible, and it's not too bad to host if you're fairly familiar with the processes.

One thing I CANNOT recommend strongly enough is to spend the time to follow ALL (applicable) tuning & hardening steps as laid out in their guide. Before I took that time, the performance was not very good, despite running on a powerful box. What helped me the post was tuning php-fpm, adding redis and apcu cache and dialing in opcache.

Best of luck on your project!

@srfaudio @nextcloud

First of all, good for you! Nextcloud is an amazing collection of tools.

I would say that the best way to self host it, or anything, is the way that you are most comfortable. I run my instance on a FreeBSD server, with the main components isolated in jails. This for instance, allows me to easily upgrade the database service without having to impact the installed packages on the redis server, nor the nextcloud application itself.

I like this level of separation, and employ it in nearly everything I do anymore. If you are familiar with TrueNAS, then that is an excellent place for you to start.
