Nextcloud alternatives (feddit.uk)

So far my experience with Nextcloud has been that it is a pain in the arse to install, and once it's installed is slow as anything. Literally couldn't run it on my pi 3b, now got it up and running pretty nicely on a NUC but it's still not great. Have caching set up.

I have the notes app installed on my android phone and I can never used rich text editing because it gives timeout error.

This shouldn't be this complicated. All I want is to de-Google my documents and notes, and self-host my kanban. I don't really need the rest though it's nice to have the options.

Do people use alternatives? Am I doing something completely wrong? I set it up using nginx which I know is not supported, but the alternative using Docker AIO didn't allow me to use custom port easily.

Go for the AllinOne (AIO) Installation! Had huge performance issues first (Nextcloudpi Docker & normal Nextcloud Docker) and none with the current install.

You get a self servicing (updates/installation/etc.) docker install with backups and administration portal.

From the instructions it looked like anything other than the default ports is not supported in AIO. I want to host other sites on this server without much complication.

So use a reverse proxy like Nginx Proxy Manager

Yes, a reverse proxy can fix this issue.
