The only device running Snap in my house is a Raspberry Pi running the Snap Nextcloud and it's rock solid.

This might be a deployment issue. How are most people running it?

Installed it in k3s and then pulled up the Android app but all it does is say every single file is a duplicate and overload my notifications tray while not uploading anything

I've hosted mine for years on my own bare metal Debian/Apache install and 28 is the first update that has been a major pain. I've had the occasional need to install a new package to enable a new feature, or needed to add new/missing indices to the database, but the web interface literally tells you how to do those things, so they're not hard.

28 though broke several of the "featured" apps that I use regularly, like "Retention". It also introduced some questionable UI changes that they had to fix with the recent .1 update. I'll get occasional errors when trying to move or delete files in the web interface and everything. 28 really feels like beta software, even though we're a point release in and I got it from the "stable" update channel.

I must be in the minority. I don't trust swarm syncing or the cloud.

I gave up on owncloud just before it became nextcloud because it kept breaking every time I updated it.

Wallabag is similar for me now. I'm stuck on a slightly out of date version because I can't get newer ones to run. Everything else I self host is painless though.

I won't update without first creating an image of the server to roll back to. Like others on here, the web updater almost always fails and goes into maintenance mode and I have to ssh in to fix it.

Having said that, functionally, I have no issues. Only when upgrading does the whole thing shit the bed.

I didn't realize that next Cloud was so bad, might I recommend people having issues try Seafile? Also open source and I've been using it for many years without issues. It doesn't have as many features and it doesn't look as shiny but it's rock solid

Have a random meme from my instance

I had TOTP die for one user on my Nextcloud. I tried to disable it, but it "didn't exist". I tried to enable it, but it was already enabled. It would come up when I used occ twofactorauth:state user. I ended up fixing it by (force) disabling the app and re-enabling it. It didn't break any other user's TOTP and it fixed problem-user's TOTP. No idea what went wrong, but I get these random issues with Nextcloud sometimes.

The plus side to this is I've learnt how to use Mariadb and I've gotten better at debugging things.

Well dang, I have Nextcloud installed as a snap (which has been perfectly stable for me when running on Ubuntu Server), but I was thinking of switching over to a docker installation; this thread doesn't exactly fill me with enthusiasm for that idea...

I haven't had any issues with Nextcloud yet. But any torrent client refuses to work. I've tried various qbittorrent containers, transmission, deluge briefly, they all work for a while but eventual refuse to do anything.

Take that as you want but a vast majority of the complaints I hear about nextcloud are from people running it through docker.

The snap version of nextcloud has been pretty solid for me, except for the time that I installed the nextcloud backup app.

My Nextcloud has been flawless. The only issue I've had was NFS permissions. I have automatic update setup for docker so it stays up to date.

Care to share what broke?

For me it’s Pi-hole. For six months it runs fine, then dies so horribly I resort to snapshot rollback and we both pretend it never happened.

Paperless often randomly stops accepting new documents. I have to wait several hours or restart it.

The very same reason why I gave up on Nextcloud. Too many nasty surprises.

To be honest, no. I run in a Truenas Jail, and its stable for me. Just a bit slow for big files sometimes.

Invidious. It's to be expected for something like that though.

I’m not self hosting an instance, but kbin is super fucking broken lately and it’s getting really frustrating. It’s been about a week. I submitted a ticket in their Git repo, but no response.

Not using Nextcloud. Found it a bit difficult to deploy and maintain than OwnCloud. Since then, I haven‘t had any problems with OwnCloud.
