I love Nextcloud, but I have everything running in containers, and I have them auto updating on system boot.

Its a super powerful software. Its on my top list of self hosting software. But it breaks so often with auto updates. And there is the potential of having to reinstall it because of a broken install, and your personal service being down for weeks.

Borg backups work, but they are not intuitive to setup when using containers.

Auto setting up trusted domains is not intuitive.

My solution going forward, is to have secondary containers which I don’t update as frequently, that point to the same user files folder on the primary containers. Kind of like having my services load balanced. I plan on doing this for some of my other containers that are frequently down.

In my experience, services that require more than 1 container are the ones that crash the most. Especially when they connect to a database container.
