This is concerning to me because I’ve been considering ditching Synology and spinning up nextcloud. I like Synology drive but I’m tired of the underpowered hardware and dumb roadblocks and vendor lock-in nonsense. I’m very curious what you end up doing!
Not OP, but I run it on docker with postgres and redis, behind a reverse proxy. All apps on NC have pretty good performance and haven't had any weird issues. It's on an old xeon with 32gb and on spinning rust.
Do you have redis talking to nextcloud over the unix socket or just regular TCP? The former is apparently another way to speed up nextcloud, but I'm struggling to understand to get containers using the unix socket instead.
I have both Postgres and Redis talking to Nextcloud through their respective unix sockets; I store the sockets in a named volume, so I can mount it on whatever containers need to reach them.
Do you mind sharing your docker config, so I can try and replicate it. Thank you
Sure:
POSTGRES
REDIS
Here's redis.conf, it took me a couple of tries to get it just right:
NEXTCLOUD
The environment.txt file is hostnames, logins, passwords, etc...
The zz-docker.conf file sets some process tuning and log format, some might not even be necessary:
The opcache_cli.conf file has a single line:
I don't remember why it's there but it's working so I'm not touching it :-D
Good luck :-)
