While nextcloud has a lot of features, a kanban board, caldav and all the bells and whistles, what it lacks is a usable file sync feature.
The bugs have been open since way before the thing was called next cloud, but they have not been addressed. What you're stuck with is a "sync" client that opens a new connection to the server for every 4kb file you transfer. If you have a lot of those, it's lights out.
Syncing my document folder would have taken several weeks with nextcloud, it took less than half a day with Seafile and Syncthing.
> +1 for Nextcloud. The last versions are stable, well designed and really easy to install and maintain.
I agree on all but the last part. They only provide step-by-step upgrades, so when I finally realize it's time to upgrade I'm so far behind that it's much easier to nuke the instance and start from scratch than do the ten upgrades one by one. I'm sure this isn't a problem for more diligent maintainers though.
I used to have the same problem. Then I discovered NextcloudPi which automatically updates (and has other nice things like automatic setup for Letsencrypt).
