Scrapped nextcloud for the same reason. I was able to get it running the way I wanted, but goddam if nextcloud didn’t irrevocably break if you so much as cut a loud fart near the server.
Updating nextcloud was out of the question.
Comment on Dedicated NAS or Nextcloud server for home lab?

So I am a total amateur, but i set up a TrueNas server that hosts my Plex server, then set up a linux VM to host a PiHole.
I also set up nextcloud vm on that machine too, i wanted to autobackup my phone pics and have a sync’d, shareable calendar with the family.
Nextcloud was the biggest pain in my ass and i never truely got it working as advertised. I ended up scrapping that part just because of how god-awful nextcloud was, and god forbid you try and update it to the most recent version.

I did the same as you, but wanted native performance on my Linux machine, so what was awesome was I was able to export my zfs pool from truenas and spool up a Linux distro and import it. There’s a project called cockpit and it has a zfs plugin which makes it easy to manage like truenas, but you can also use it as a whole ass pc at the same time

You should really use the Nextcloud docker-compose files to setup Nextcloud. They make it stupidly easy to deploy. Pair that with SWAG as a reverse proxy and you get a pretty secure Nextcloud deployment complete with SSL certs.
Come to think of it, why not also run pihole in a docker instead of a full VM?

Even with the nextcloud docker-compose, (for me) it was flaky af. I know for lots of people it runs great, and I’m glad for that. For me, I had to scrap it.

What sort of flakiness?
