I see a lot of Nextcloud here, but I can not share the same experience anymore. I ran it for years on a shared webhosting instance (Hetzner Shared Level 4) which surprised me that with the limited resources it has here, Nextcloud was still working flawless. Unless I ran an update. In 8 out of 10 attempts it caused issues and it being a shared webhosting infrastructure, I had limited ways to intervene when something went wrong. As I said, that Level 4 has very limited resources in any way you can think of, so I never blamed Nextcloud for it.
Since a year or so I self-host at home and run Nextcloud in Docker compose (Nextcloud Community Image (not AiO, not LSIO), Mariadb, Coturn) and never had issues. It obviously runs much faster than on the shared webhosting instance and I never had issues updating. It´s just a matter of docker compose up -d after Watchtower tells me that there is a new version and I´m done. We would not know what to do without NC here at home. We use it extensivele for Contacts, Calendar, Talk and Files from inside and outside our network with various devices (Windows, Android, iOS) and various Applications (Nextcloud, Talk, Notes, DavX, Webclient) for many many years and we are very happy with it.
