Thanks for pointing me to the demo server. compared to the thing I have running, it seems blazingly fast, the web-interface seems much more responsive. can you tell me, how it is hosted, so I can understand what the technical differences are compared to my (webhosters) system?
It’s a VPS with 4Ghz of dedicated CPU and 4GB RAM. It hosts 4 Nextcloud installations in managed containers (5x Apache, PHP and Redis with a shared DB).
Excluding the shared DB (and soon, shared Redis) they are all installed following my guide to the letter.
It’s overkill for a modest single installation for which 2Ghz and 2GB ram would likely be enough.
Hm, the performance difference is likely shared hosting? At my hoster, a managed server seems awful expensive (starting around 100 euro / month) whilst my shared hosting of course is much cheaper around 20 euro / month. Or is it possible the difference in performance comes from a lack of php.ini configurations and caching?
Caching makes a lot of difference. I usually get my VPS through OVH as they’re cheap and cheerful.
I’m trying out a demo instance here but as soon as I switched on encryption, I can no longer upload files. It is also impoossible to switch encryption off. What to do?
That’s not my demo cluster, so I can’t offer much help as we won’t have backend access to it.
btw: couldn’t we make this topic sticky… or at least the announcement that there ARE said (and most valued) demo-instances?
Your wish is my command

my dear old boy, so sorry to let you know that i just broke your nc12 -demo. tried to do an update to 12.0.3. and it went smoothly until the webupdater stalled at this point “oauth2: Failed to enable app oauth2”
sorry to cause you more work now 
Hey it’s fine - still works. I’ll sort it later

Just wanted to say this is great work setting NextCloud up in LXD. I wanted to let you know that I put a link to this on the LXD sub-reddit so others could find it.
Thanks again for your effort.
Brian
Thanks Brian! LXD lends itself nicely to this type of usecase
Nice Idea. I have also setup an Demo Cloud for testing for users in an Telegram group for nextcloud.
Welcome to link to this one also - though it fully resets every hour
Okay. I must write an script to cleanup the data and user every hour
Edit, nevermind!
Demo 13 has been updated to RC1 and Talk is enabled by default.
