I just spun up a Nextcloud VM, and I’m trying to decide the best way to manage the data storage.

For context, I’m running it on proxmox and installed it with This script.

Ideally I’d like to keep most of my storage on my NAS. I’m trying to figure out if I should keep the data directory local and add a NAS NFS share as external storage, or just move the whole data directory to an NFS share.

How are you guys handling your Nextcloud storage?

    I just run Nextcloud on my NAS, which is just my old desktop PC. Nextcloud is just a docker container and it points to where I mount the NAS partition.

      Currently my NAS runs TrueNAS and pretty much just serves files. I guess I could run a Nextcloud container on TrueNAS, but I’m thinking I may get better performance with it running on a more robust machine.

        What sort of performance are you looking for? I run NC’s from Raspberry Pi’s, no problem.

          Its been awhile since I’ve run Nextcloud but when I did on a pi the interface was slow and the instance itself was unreliable.
