No I didn’t. You should really read the upgrade guide:

You cannot skip major releases.

So you seriously expect an upgrade from major version 20 or less to major version 31 going well?

It’s like upgrading from Windows 3.1 to Windows 11.

What’s wrong with following the official upgrade procedure? Don’t complain about missing tables or indices then.

The most important thing is that the software does not break and you can maneuver out of every bad situation. This is important for self-hosting.

I don’t care if it’s PHP. Many good things are written in PHP. I find Python and Ruby much worse for web applications. Not because of the language, but because it’s hard to maneuver out of some situations.

That said I didn’t have many problems with Nextcloud. The only thing I criticize is that it solves too many problems at once.

I run Netbox for documentation only. But your approach is what I actually wanted to do, if I just had plenty of time.

My preferences are quite different.

You’ll need a lot of RAM for all the containers, 64 GB is nice. A CPU that saves power when idle is fine. You’ll need at least 16 TB storage (32 TB RAID1). SATA HDD is fine, when you have ZFS and cache using SSDs. Never use USB for drives.

It does not need to be quiet. Just put it in the basement and close the door.

Me too. I don’t know what OP means by “distributed” but “not highly available” and at the same time “rsync or unison is enough”, “but not NFS”.

This is somehow contradicting itself.
