I like how Nethserver gives you the options to easily set up a Nextcloud instance.
I would recommend to switch from Apache webserver to Nginx for Nextcloud.
Jus by switching to Nginx made a very big difference on my custom Nextcloud 12 VM (Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS)
I am using HTTPS only. The speed improvement might come from using HTTP/2.0 also.
After this i added the PHP OPcache, APCu memcache + disabled bruteforce check (yes i know that it weakens security) made my Nextcloud run a lot faster and be really usable.
This might not look like an easy task but it is worth it.
With this message i just wanted to let you know of my experience with Nextcloud.
Nice to hear others also think the same.
I will have to remake my Nextcloud documenting every step
For now it’s just a testcloud for myself , i like it alot.
Mapping it in windows is not as fast as samba but working on a setup to get both at the same time.
So basically i want to have [My Samba Shares] <=> [My Cloud] , but i didn’t start yet
I replied in another thread to this, but you should consider having the nextcloud on another server. Depending on your server performance, and what you are doing on it, it would be faster to just host it on another machine. I would recommend freenas, BSD jails are great for this stuff and you wouldn’t tie down your internet/firewall performance when stressing your gateway. If you can budget it build a freenas machine and all these issues are solved. It wouldnt be to likely nethserver will see nginx for a very long time, as it would require almost a complete rebase on many core components.
Edit: Im an idiot, I meant BSD not BAD…I was tired when I wrote!
I understand you like BSD a lot , but i will try to stick to linux
I tried it on many occasions and used it also.
It is not something that i am against.
It is just i manage linux more easily.
I didn’t say anything about switching NS webserver to nginx.
All i said is Nextcloud runs so much faster with Nginx
Other than running nginx to host Nextcloud, there are a few other things that could be done to improve performance–some might even be rolled into the nextserver-nextcloud package:
Configure a memory cache–redis seems to be preferred
Configure the PHP opcache according to Nextcloud’s recommendation
Use PHP 7.1 rather than 5.6 for Nextcloud (using Software Collections)
The first two look like they should be simple to implement as part of nethserver-nextcloud. The third would involve a lot of additional packages. But none of them should interfere with anything else on the server.
None of the suggestions I made are at all contrary to CentOS’ conservative release philosophy, or are in any way “bleeding edge.” The first two are simply matters of configuration, and can (and should, IMO) be handled by the nethserver-nextcloud package. The third requires a good bit of additional software, but is still all CentOS-compatible.
Just a heads up, nextcloud 13 (in beta now) will improve speeds by a large amount. No need to use nginx or anything else. If you need nginx, look into BSD, it offers a great jail system, or iocage whatever you prefer, look into setting up a jail in a VM and running nextcloud there if you need nginx. I am installing nextcloud 13 hopefully tonight after I “upgrade” my nas server (get rid of freenas, its turning into trash).
You’re saying that you’d get better performance by setting up a FreeBSD VM on Neth, a jail in that VM, and Nextcloud in that jail? Compared to just running Nextcloud on Neth itself? That can’t be right.
No, that was in reference to nginx. It wouldnt be slower, nextcloud doesn’t require much, most of the performance is in the way it is coded anyways, thats why they are able to speed up performance by a large amount with the release 13.
I am telling you that most of the speed improvement i got where from HTTP2
Just try nginx with https and compare to apache.
I like apache a lot ! I have no problem with apache.
I just wanted to let you know of my findings.
