Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software

Those people may be the kind who tell you formatting your hard drive and reinstalling windows every other week is the best way to keep it ‘clean’.
Ive been using Nextcloud at multiple businesses for years, its a rock.

Nextcloud definitely seems solid… but let’s be honest, it is definitely a resource hog. I tried deploying NextCloud on a VPS with 2GB of RAM, with most features turned off. The instance was empty. After a few minutes, I started getting alerts that I was using 100% of my memory.
Nextcloud isn’t gonna work the way you expect it to with 2GB of RAM. It doesn’t seem like you’d be able to run this on some cheap, low powered device.
Someone rewrite it in Rust! 😅

Make sure you have swap enabled and it’s fine. Any file host is going to be aggressive with memory to cache all the files and metadata for quicker browsing.

It’s 2025. Many cheap, low-powered devices have more than 2GB of RAM at this point.
