I would not call it bloated, as most additional functionality is provided via a plugin type system, and even certain base functionalities can be disabled in the plugin section. If your going to set yourself up a Nextcloud instance definitely go with the slightly more complex to setup but big payoff longterm configuration of NGINX + PostgreSQL instead of Apache + MySQL. The PostgreSQL is a much better and cleanly designed RDBMS and you won't run into encoding issues as often. NGINX also scales way better than Apache. This is coming from someone who was around using the software since before the Owncloud->Nextcloud switch and having migrated from NGINX + MariaDB to NGINX + PostgreSQL. If your ever looking for someone to help test your instance's federation capabilities with I would be glad to do that. -- _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
