Hi!

r/NextCloud

I've been looking for an alternative to NextCloud for a few days as I
wasn't happy with its speed, but was happy with the interface
I didn't find anything and decided to optimize it a bit myself,
combining speed with usability.
I posted my work on [GitHub
Repo](https://github.com/maffinca69/Nextcloud-Unit-Docker). Maybe it
will be useful to someone
P.S. Loading is done in 1s, speed has increased by 1.5-2x.
P.S.S. I switched to using Nginx Unit + Redis + OPCache + PostgreSQL +
Cron, all this gave a significant increase in speed.

I didn't know about nginx unit, looks awesome! I have to try it.

Nginx Unit: https://unit.nginx.org/

What I like most about Unit is the simplicity of configuration and the
complete abandonment of php-fpm. Thanks to this the performance is
better, it holds loads better, because there are no problems with
vorkers

BTW. If you getting problem, you can open issue or MR :)

I'm using OCIS now, up/download speeds are ~10 times as high as in
nextcloud. Even with tweaked nginx

But also has almost no features compared to Nextcloud. Only file sync
for now.

Nextcloud with a proper configured mariadb is faster than Mysql or
postgresql

Do you have an example of the correct configuration?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

That wouldn't be useful, because the right parameters are based on
your Personal load pattern. Just configure as in the docs and then use
mysqltuner.pl after a week or two.

Disclaimer: I did a few nextcloud cluster deployments with 10k+
concurrent Users and petabyte storages.

Regarding the mariadb Drama I'd probably  chose Mysql today.
