I've gotten a bit tired of Nextcloud as of late an I'm curious it is a viable alternative. I like having Nextcloud Talk but I can live without it.

You running it on bare metal? Much better that way vs docker in my experience

I have yet to install it, but I plan to run it "baremetal" in a Debian VM, would that be better than in a docker, or do I actually need to run it baremetal, in parallel/ on a different system than proxmox? (Or it's own LXC container)

From personal experience, Docker is fine. Just be sure to use postgres instead of the default mariadb and you're golden

I’m honestly not sure, you’re discussing a few corner cases that I haven’t tried out personally. I think you’d just have to do your own testing to see. I suspect the more layers of abstraction, the more they could potentially slow you down, but can’t say if it would be experienced the same way some of us who ran in docker had observed.

Proxmox is quite powerful, if you get it setup and running smoothly it would be awesome to hear back about how you did it!

I've been using a docker stack for Nextcloud for years without issues, after switching to postgres it also got a lot faster

Yeah I’ve heard this from a few people with similar setups, Postgres does seem to alleviate a lot of the performance bottleneck from running virtualized for whatever reason.
