Nextcloud replacing OneDrive
-
Nextcloud will definitely handle that. Folder size is really not a problem. We use folders far larger than that on NC, no issues.

I realize 15Tb is larger than most of my NC installs but this would be the most heavily used and relied upon. There would be about 35 users.
-
I just realized you said 10GB of data per folder, and 15TB total. I thought you were saying 10TB per folder, which is more where we are. 10GB is nothing, lol. That's more like our per file size.
-
@scottalanmiller That's good to know. On average for your installs - what size is your /data? The largest for me has been 3Tb.
-
Yeah, no issues with Nextcloud for this. I have multiple installs with about 1TB of data.

Average is small, probably just 1TB or so. But we are seeing bigger ones. Just put one in for over 300 users.

Backups will most likely be on a Synology nas. My biggest dilemma now is to use KVM or Hyper-V. I have tons of Fedora VMs on HV 2016 with ZERO issues but in the back of my mind I'm thinking of a Fedora KVM host and Fedora guests for NC and Nginx proxy.

All of my production Nextcloud systems are on Hyper-V. Half are CentOS 7 because they have been around for years now. Long before I got comfortable with Fedora.

Honestly, either is just fine. We use KVM most of the time, but Hyper-V often, too. We are doing all our new deployments in KVM. It's just easier all around. The gap in ease of use between Hyper-V and KVM being so big. No special expertise needed for KVM. Just use the native web GUI for management and away you go. And simple SSH access for CLI should you desire that.

@jaredbusch Everytime I set up NC, I always "default" to a 3Tb VM but never use that much space. Don't know why or how I started that.

Hyper-V is perfectly fine running Fedora workloads. Why change when there is no business or technical reason to do so?

Might be a brand new customer deployment, so "change" might be not what we normally think of it being. If this customer has other Hyper-V that they are sticking with, yeah, I'd stick with it.

@jaredbusch Good to know. They are a MS only business so I will probably stick with HV. I have set up KVM on Fedora and use virt-manager on a Fedora desktop to manage but never Cockpit for management.

I have that at home and a potential client that will move to RHEL 7 with KVM.

@travisdh1 I was 99% sure that I was going with HV but I like reassurance.

This is how I'm currently backing up my Nextcloud.
At work, on my Hyper-V host, I'm using Altaro to backup the VM.
At home, on my KVM host, I'm only backing the data and database.Backup

NC's own instructions work pretty well, last that I knew.
