Comment on I tried to selfhost Nextcloud at work
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 days agoThe images work fine for me. The problem is that Nextcloud is a complex app that doesn’t really work with the design of one container to do one job. It is pretty much a regular application that uses docker for packaging.

That doesn’t make up for bad container decisions. I run much more complex containers both that split out responsibilities and that contain everything as one container. The size and complexity is irrelevant to the bad design decisions. You can have an image that eats up gigabytes of space that runs off of proper environment/config variables with properly mounted volumes.

Again there docker image is just a packaging format and a health check. I very much wish it were better but for now it works

Just because it works doesn’t mean it follows best practices.
