After months of waiting, I finally got myself an instance with Libre Cloud. I was expecting basic file storage with a few goodies but boy, this is soooo much more. I am amaze by how complete this is!!! Apps let me configure my instance to fit everything I need, my workflow is now crazy fast and I can finally say goodbye to gdrive, gsuite, trello, calendar, etc. All of this, with 1tb while not giving any of ma data to some evil business for... 10$ cad a month!? Can't believe this is not what every organisation are using.

Really a pain in the ass to set up and tweak to your liking. After you overcome that hurdle, it runs relatively good.

True. Have a setup running on Kubernetes with their helm chart but the documentation is (or at least was) insufficient on what is important to back up, so I had to start over once, learning the hard way that the config file contains the one string you always need for recovering data. Since then, it is pretty stable and I had almost no problems.

What was it? I'm planning to do a nextcloud deployment via helm soon.

Update: seems like the persistence section is sufficient; I have

persistence:
  enabled: true
  existingClaim: nextcloud-config-claim

at the end of my values file which references a volume claim (and volume) that I created manually upfront. The importand file is config.php. Back that thing up immediately and three times, print it if you have to. The secret in there is unrecoverable otherwise and needed for any repair actions.
I also use the postgresql sub-chart (by simply enabling postgresql as database) and provide a claim there:

postgresql:
  enabled: true
global:
    postgresql:
      auth:
        username: XX
        password: YY
        database: nextcloud
  image:
    repository: postgres
    tag: "14"
    postgresqlDataDir: /bitnami/pgdata
  primary:
    persistence:
      enabled: true
      existingClaim: nextcloud-db-claim

Hope it helps!
