Sorry I can’t really help, but can commiserate. Nextcloud is the one service I’ve never gotten to run right. Not sure if its gotten any better but a year or two ago I was trying and just wasn’t getting consistent results from it.
I never had problems before but if you haven’t tried the All In One Install (the officially recommended way to install), then give that a go. You don’t have to worry about caching and databases and things. It all runs on docker.
And just in case, the AIO container creates new docker containers so if you need to provision docker network access for a reverse proxy then make sure you’ve got it on the right container.
I’ve tried the AIO container. The issue I’ve had is that I already have a file system for documents and try to attach it as a network drive, it’s at this point everything falls apart (not to mention just generally slow performance).
Yeah this isn’t how I’ve used Nextcloud. I let Nextcloud manage the storage on the same server that Nextcloud is installed on. When accessed on the same network the performance of Nextcloud is miles better than the Onedrive website, which I think is a fair way to judge. It is on a decently beefy server though.
Many people had issues with Nextcloud installs because there were extra steps to get the caching and performance tweaking right. The AIO container made this part much easier by handling it for you, but just in general Nextcloud does need a bit of grunt. I think the recommendation if enabling all components is that you have 5GB RAM and 4 CPU minimum (when talking about VPS - I have it installed locally on an old gaming machine, along with other stuff).
If the AIO install is slow, then I’d guess something like the server is not powerful enough, the network is not fast enough, or the network drive access is causing lag.

Appreciate the feedback!
