747.41kW, or around six and a quarter NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 racks. Max power consumption was rated for around 1.75MW.
I think my electric company would pay me a visit if I fired that bad boy up in my house lmao, to bad the auction closed already. Oh and it closed at 480k lmfaooo
Right? I’ve been using NextCloud/OwnCloud since ~2015. It’s a very standard LAMP app, nothing fancy going on at all. Give it enough memory and you’ll never have any problems, same as any other web service.
My only problem is trying to use it with the android app. I have to manually sync it like all the time which is a pain in the ass when I forget to do it before I go out the door and my shopping list isn't update. That and it won't sync files I create on the phone to the server
Does this allow for easy upgrades and/or are there any issues with local storage? I used to run it about an age and a half ago, but I've recently wanted to spin an instance back up for a few reasons. These things change so fast, I looked away and now I'm out of the loop.
I really really tried to like it, but I would constantly run into issues with files not deleting properly and would get database errors regularly. If the intent was to separate management of the underlying database, all it did was cause headaches.
Not to mention, not being able to easily just go under the hood to the file system and remove something drove me up a wall. Just let me delete my files, dammit!
I ended up just using a big-standard file share on TrueNAS.
NC seems to either work completely or it doesnt, barely an inbetween there.
Its fine for me for two years and going. But I only have two users and maybe 200 GB of data. My 16 gigs of ram barely goes above 20%, my 4 thread oldschool xeon usually stays at <5% usage.
Doing sysadmin stuff for 20 yrs probably helps though.
The best NC setup, is uninstalling NC. Seriously, I spent a month getting that monstrosity to work and not bitch about configurations OUT OF THE BOX that it does NOT HAVE A UI FOR just to find out that half of the 'apps' are half-baked buggy messes and the other are out of date, half-baked buggy messes. A to-do system without repeating item availability was the last one I learned about before salting the earth of that hopeless project.
...
Actually got me pissed off, thinking about it again. Jesus.
Right now I'm using a synology nas and its 1st party programs, but trying to break away to a more foss-friendly environment. Drive, Contacts, Calendar/Tasks, just work and don't require any fiddling so until a worthy opponent shows up, I'm kinda stuck.
Works great until you have to update and you don't know you have to do fancy stuff not to break things. I didn't know I had to follow special instructions until things stopped working, and even then I couldn't get it to update and it's all borked now.
What else works for people lately just for the cloud files part?
Seen a small company share a nextcloud server running on a old VMware cluster with 2 cores and like 8g of ram allocated... What are people doing with their nextcloud servers?
I've used it about as long, and I've never seen it as easy to maintain as the AIO container strategy they're on now. It's effortless, and after years of failed updates and rolling shit back via occ, it's night and day. Even NCPi wasn't as bulletproof.
I'm still using Nextcloud, have been for only 2-3 years, but it's getting to the point where I'm more annoyed about it than appreciating the usefulness
It's not just being slow, it issues with the install. I'm pretty sure these days I'd be better of with specialized individual services than this one monster that die absolutely nothing well. It still can't even sync files on Android ffs. I'd consider this core functionality.
Unless something changed in the last few weeks, Android app can't do bidirectional folder sync like you're used to from Google drive, Dropbox or one drive. You can mark a folder for "sync", but try copying something into it, it changing an existing file: no change on the server. I think you can manually open the app, navigate to the folder and open the menu to "sync", but what the hell is the point in having it marked to be synced then? I wanted to use it for my keepass DB for example, where that would be a requirement.
Yes, updates are a nightmare. I'm not on docker (also not sure if better or worse) and every 2nd update sometime significantly breaks that I have to fix manually. Last time, the "group folders" plugin (official, from the Nextcloud devs) broke it so bad that Nextcloud wouldn't even start. I had to go into maintenance mode, disable the plug-in ("app" I guess it's the term?), update it from console, re-enable it, disable maintenance mode. Not pictured: finding out what the god damn problem was this time. I've just about had it...
We'll see if your reading comprehension liabilities extend to self-hosting.
Seafile is extremely easy to set up and does one thing and one thing well.
It does store your data as binaries, so it would be a bit harder to restore than Nextcloud due to that, but I've never had an issue with seafile.
Of course, I didn't have a problem with Nextcloud until an upgrade borked the installation bad enough that even restoring from backup couldn't solve the issue.
SyncThing has been great for me. I tried NextCloud and OwnCloud first, granted years ago, and they were not great. So I've been using SyncThing at least 5 years now.
Are people really getting skill issued by Nextcloud? The official docker images always worked well for me. I used the Nextcloud apache docker image, connected it with postgresql and a nginx reverse proxy that handles SSL. Never had any major problems with Nextcloud. I only stopped selfhosting because I found a cheaper alternative that handles Nextcloud hosting for me.
People have problems with Nextcloud? You only have to be careful when upgrading major versions of Nextcloud or its database. It's your fault if you're using the latest tag.
Currently using Nextcloud AIO and it's pretty decent, though I've got 16 vCPU and 32 GB of RAM allocated to it right now, though it's only using 10% CPU and ~7 GB of RAM at the moment.
I think it takes a while to warm up once you start adding data to it, especially depending on the plug-ins you add and amount of data.
I'm running it decently on a Raspberry Pi 4B. No less latency than a commercial cloud solution like OneDrive in my experience. Could be faster, though.
For me Nextcloud AIO works. Still I don't like how "unstable" NC is. There's always something that does not work in any setup. Wish it was more stable or there would be a better alternative. For me it's videos. But only those that are MP4 and have their moov atom at the end of the file. They can't be played.
It's a headache. Set up Ente Photos just for that. Good side effect is that the images from my family and myself are stored E2EE encrypted on the self hosted Ente Photos instance.
I like my Kubernetes setup at work. It runs Nextcloud, Mattermost, GitLab, company website, several embedded firmware OTA update sites, a few internal apps. Nextcloud was pretty easy to install on it with Helm, just a single command line and a yaml file to specify domain, settings, etc. I had some teething issues in my early setup where the database would get wiped inexplicably, but it's been running smooth for years now. (Yes, I know, bad juju running databases on Kubernetes...I'm used to it and it mostly works)
I used or it used me for a couple of years. Then while looking for a replacement I found the snap version. I installed it in a fresh Ubuntu VM and it just works.
