Nextcloud takes an awful lot of server resources. Are you using its other functionality? That would make more sense.

I use it for everything right now. Photo storage, calender, notes, tasks, ebook storage, even appointment scheduling on one of my sites.

That makes a lot of sense. It’s definitely worth it in your use case.

I think the server is mostly php, but I seem to remember having to run sidekiq?

Use to only use it for mobile to home server sync. But with Relayable tried it to keep site and configs across the relays in sync and works great. My first production use of it.

I code on several computers.

When my boss calls for me to come in for a 1:1 it’s so nice to just grab my laptop. That + Tailscale my entire dev folder with all my git repos are caught up as soon as I boot it up.

Have you ever had sync go wtong and losing like the last few changes because of things getting in some variant of a conflict?

Same. I have my TrueNAS as the device they all link to.

I have yet to try Tailscale. Use Wireguard currently.

I imagine it’s very comparable benefits. I have devices in several locations accessible on my tailnet, not sure how I’d work that.

Because I dont have a use case for it yet. So far I have Gitea and SVN and those serve my purposes (except a weird issue when uploading 50gb+ projects).

My buddy uses Nextcloud and he wants me to use it but I want something that runs a bit better. It kept getting stuck in a maintenance mode loop.

And its a little slow.

If you’re not finding yourself in need of the other nextcloud features, syncthing is almost certainly better, as it is very light on your system.

It certainly cannot replace the features of nextcloud though. I do sync my notes through Obsidian with it, but there are many other features.
