My Nextcloud has always been sluggish — navigating and interacting isn't snappy/responsive, changing between apps is very slow, loading tasks is horrible, etc. I'm curious what the experience is like for other people. I'd also be curious to know how you have your Nextcloud set up (install method, server hardware, any other relevent special configs, etc.). Mine is essentially just a default install of Nextcloud Snap.

Edit (2024-03-03T09:00Z): I should clarify that I am specifically talking about the web interface and not general file sync capabilites. Specifically, I notice the sluggishness the most when interacting with the calendar, and tasks.

Mine runs very smoothly. I set it up on a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB) with an external 1TB drive. I run it in docker with the official (?) image and can't remember having set any special config. If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them. :)

Which docker are you using? Is it the AIO docker?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I had to look it up. It's the community image (apache version) from https://hub.docker.com/_/nextcloud/ which I use together with a mariadb and redis image.

Mine is not great but is ok. Main special thing I did was put it on a vps very close to home, for short ping time. That was to get lower latency voice chat with nextcloud talk, but I haven't been using that at all.

My nextcloud was almost instant, then the upgrade to v28 seems to have broke a load of things and now is very slow.

  • nginx LB in LXC
  • qemu vm with PHP and nginx on it
    • as many PHP optimisations as I can find
  • qemu vm with just mysql
    • as many MySQL optimisations as I can find
  • docker notify thing on the docker swarm vms

All on the same host with other things

Have you created any indexes the new release might have needed? Nextcloud doesn't create them by default.

I've been through everything on the install guide and update I can find, it looks to be the groupfolders app that looks for expired items every 5 minutes. It gets better if I stop Cron or delete the job

Yeah - that's reasonable. I brought it up since it's the #1 thing I always forgot about for some time and now it's the first thing I check.

No problems here, running the official helm chart

Overall good. The only slowness is right after login. After it loads everything it's pretty responsive. Using the snap version (I know, snap bad. But in this case it was the only way I got it going.).

Self updates,.get email notifications when it updateab

I run Nextcloud on an old laptop (i5-8500h) and tbh I find it super fast and responsive. I’ve barely done any tinkering or customization
