i have setup so many instances and the web ui always takes 40s to a minute to load per page i have always used redis for caching and the best methods even the aio docker image(s) are really slow
…this is a new low for low-effort posts.
Wow.
haha sorry still getting the hang of lemmy and accidently submitted it with no body
Then, sorry - i thought this was a legitimate shtpost.
Have you tried integrating a caching mechanism? Or tried assigning more memory to PHP?
You know their tuning page? I did several of their suggestions and they helped me. https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/server_tuning.html
Cannot confirm this. For me nextcloud us very snappy and fast.
I am with you as well. I’ve had my instance up for 3 years on 4 cores and 8GB ram and each page loads in seconds. I’m not running anything crazy on it either (stock + 3ish extras). Hard drives are 4x sas in raid10.
Uhm, you will need to tell us more about your hardware or setup.
I wouldn’t describe my Nextcloud as especially fast or optimized, but it is only around 20s from the login screen to being able to use it. And once you are logged in it is quite fast.
I had that same issue until I disabled the collabora extension. It’s much, much better now.
i have used all sort of hardware from a pi 4 to a vm on dell server with 2 vcpus and 8GB ram and now a vm on a custom server with 4 vcpus of a AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and 8GB ram using the docker aio I havent messed with it yet because i expected it to work
You are using normal database like Postgres and it runs on a SSD?
using mariadb for my bare metal one that runs on a hdd but no clue what the docker one uses and that is on a SSD
The best is to run the database on an SSD, but move the data directory to a HDD for more storage.
I’m not running nextcloud myself, but have you checked that the database settings are scaled to match your server’s resources?
yeah i use mariadb with it and messed with the config but still nothing more than maybe 1 second same with enabling caching with redis and editing the php config i did get it down from 3-4 minutes though so thats something
What CPU / RAM / DISK resources do you have allocated?
4 cores 8GB ram and 500GB i looked at a resource monitor and the cpu barely hits 10% when im trying to load ages and the server is running other things
Next thing that comes to mind is web server settings / threads / workers. But I’m afraid I can’t help you more since I’m not familiar with Nextcloud.
yeah i have increased them to the recommended settings and tried adding some but still cant get it to constantly load under a minute. i would put it down to the server being 100s of miles from me but even my server running in house is slow
What database? I use Mariadb as a backend and have never had slowness like you describe. I guess also how many files?
deleted by creator
same not too sure about the docker version i just setup and with my bare metal install not that much nothing over 500 and the docker one is a fresh install
What Hardware are you using? My nextcloud takes at most a couple seconds and has only been getting faster these last few updates.
Even on my obscure setup (NetBSD nvmm virtual machine running on NetBSD host using zfs) I get decent performance with PostgreSQL, and minimal PHP opcache and redis tuning. One thing is not to use too many php-fpm processes. I host a small private server for family and friends, and usually limit the number of processes to 8. The VM has 8 GB of RAM and 10 CPU cores, but the cores are slow by today’s standards.
Very long delays on otherwise decent hardware (i. e. anything newer than 10 years) always smell of DNS problems, if the symptom is a very long wait time with nothing happening, and then a reasonably fast page rendering / UI loading.
I’m quite happy with the performance, although some of the regular tasks seem to consume excessive amounts of “system” CPU time. But response time and preview rendering are all acceptable.
I’m using their apache docker and i don’t see many speed issues.
I see issues instead with WordPress, my blog with 15000 pages but just 1000 visits a month takes 30 seconds to load a single page… Could not manage to improve it, even with extensive caching, percona, redis, and so on…
One day I need to find the strength to migrate to Hugo (the automated tool makes a mess)
What kind of hardware are you using?
Nextcloud does need some tuning by default, specifically the php, nginx/apache, and database settings so that they all make use of more resources and some stuff like cache headers or opcode caching.
If you haven’t used it yet, I think the AIO installation of nextcloud includes a lot of config optimization by default. I don’t have experience with it, but probably worth a try?
I’m pretty sure the database tuning is what made the biggest difference to me.
Because it’s ✨ modern ✨ and ✨ enterprise ✨
Most new software not explicitly made for and by hobbyists will assume “just throw more hardware at it” to be a valid solution to inefficiency, and unfortunately Nextcloud (especially with any of the office extensions) seems to be heading that way.
yeah it sucks but its strange that
i have done thatyet its still slow and barely uses any resources when being slow
If you only want online file storage and sync, you may want to try Seafile. It’s a lot faster and has been rock solid since 10+ years for me. Not viable if you need some of the many nextcloud exentions though
Take a look into the logs, anything suspicious there? Maybe some timeouts, read/write errors, unresponsive tasks?
What does your webserver say about resource usage for nextcloud? If you load it up, does it stay super low like not even giving it enough resource?
cpu is low 0.2% but ram seems fine using 2GB and looking at the logs in the web ui the only one i have really gotten is
