Personally I’ve had a lot of luck running NextCloud AIO on OpenMediaVault, on my little server machine running ProxMox.
The nice thing is you can keep your data drives separate, and take snapshots of the OpenMediaVault virtual machine before you update NextCloud, and if something goes wrong , you can roll it back without losing stuff stored on it!
(Sorry I could be better at describing this stuff)
AIO makes it a lot more convenient to maintain. It has a backup solution built in using Borg Backup, and it automates updates when you tell it to update. Usually the update process is a bit more…fraught and hands-on running bare metal.
NextCloud can back itself up as mentioned, but I use Proxmox’s snapshots in case the little web portal to do all that breaks, which has happened before. But super rarely!
Haha sorry this is a bit of a mess, I’m at work right now XD
Thanks for the hint! I’ve heard that self-hosting Nextcloud is a gigantic handful, it’s supposed to need a lot of attention to maintain?
