Nextcloud has the most confusing versioning of any software I have ever used.
Nextcloud Hub 26 is Nextcloud 34 and follows Nextcloud Hub 9 which is Nextcloud 33.
And I could be off on those exact numbers.
Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring: Built together, designed for the future

Re: Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring: Built together, designed for the future
#12I run Nextcloud at home with 1.5TB of files and 2 users, on a reasonably sized server. It is painfully slow. Still better than OneDrive, but only just: synscing takes forever, never reaching a fraction of available bandwidth. Upload from my phone is flaky, often hangs and needs manual intervention. It is a battery drain. The whole experience with add-ons and the general UI feels like a 2010 PHP app.
I am grateful Nextcloud exists, but no app deserves a vibe coded Rust rewrite more than Nextcloud. Literally nothing to loose

#13Maybe I'm alone but nextcloud has gone from being kinda flaky and annoying to really great the past few years.
I always had terrible trouble keeping it (and before it, Owncloud) updated and in sync with available dependencies on my Debian host. A few years ago, when I built a new NAS, I installed a snap, and that's been the ticket. It's pretty close to flawless now.
Yeah, I eventually gave up on self hosting Nextcloud because of incompatibilities with PHP(-FPM), iirc. They were always lagging behind and it became a hassle to mantain. I ended up replacing all the parts I used with other single purpose software, and it's been a better experience overall.

#14Is nextcloud the good one and owncloud the inferior one?
Nextcloud is written in PHP, which doesn't sound scalable to me.
OwnCloud is written in Go but employs an open-core model. Some features are locked behind a proprietary paywall.

The good OwnCloud is abandoned, and instead they released some meme enterprise nonsense.
I'm running NextCloud, but I hesitate to call it good, because of its kitchen sink approach to features. I really want 2015 era OwnCloud with just files, it being PHP/MariaDB/Apache-based. I refuse to use anything that requires Docker, which is most of the slop alternatives currently available.

#16I love Nextcloud but I feel like they should really completely redo their UI. It just doesn't look like something from this decade.

You can remove almost app in Nextcloud. It is pretty modular. You can have a files only Nextcloud, last time I tried.

#18Nextcloud is great, I self-host an instance at home. I mostly use the calendar, address book, and file sharing with links a la Google Drive. It's probably heavier and slower than it should be for what it does, but it works.
Just like Home Assistant, it is a "must have" tool for self-hosters.

When I ran OwnCloud (on Debian), I installed from their APT repo, and one "apt upgrade" handled everything. It was nice and easy, and I didn't have any problems with it.
NextCloud uses its own updater* (which I don't like), and aside from some recent MariaDB snafu it's been very low maintenance.
