Comment on Another update that no one asked for

Eek, I’m moving towards nextcloud (and away from Google fast as possible). Is there a better all-in-one groupware + files + collab + office apps suite out there?
It does appear that nextcloud’s devs are eyeballs deep in php tech debt, so their pace of development and integration has slowed.
It’s so big that none of their FOSS components are going to be #1 on their own.
Recently upgraded the version and had to allow untested app versions (which had just disappeared) because they hadn’t been updated yet. That’s a weird problem and yeah, I don’t really want to be beta tester everytime I try and open a document.
They also don’t really have a nice docker compose based deployment yet.
But I couldn’t be happier to be leaving google in the dust, so there’s that.
Nextcloud is awesome, you should definitely still use it. It’s really big and has its issues when upgrading, but it’s still one of—if not the—best for file sync and share.
Easy Docker solutions:
My two cents: try it yourself but don’t start using their app store until you’ve gotten a better feel for things. They have some great app store apps, but it makes you dependent on Nextcloud.
But compared to Google and not owning your data? It’s SO much better, not that it’s really a fair comparison.
Sorry your experience has been so bad. I’m using the LinuxServer.io version. I’ve had to run some OCC commands when upgrading and it’s sometimes slow, but for me it syncs my files and does version control + sharing well.
I’ve never used it but it always seems to me like they’re trying to be an everything app.
That’s kinda their schtick though. They’ve been that way since before they split off from Owncloud.
All in one? No, not really.
There are some projects which automate setup of popular FOSS programs, and add some kind of SSO or GUI to integrate them. Freedombox, Yunohost, Sandstorm.io are examples of that.

Nextcloud is great if you want one service to provide all those functionalities.
Their All-In-One (AIO) provides a rather complete docker compose github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one.
One of the biggest reasons people complain about Nextcloud is that they update to new major versions too soon. Wait for several point releases or even until another major version is released (which only take several months). This will make updating much more stable.
