Hetzner is great - been using them for many years now, top stability, good pricing and excellent Linux support. I prefer to manage my own servers, but the NX offers looks pretty good.
btw how much control do you get over the nextcloud app itself with those offers? Do you have access to console/filesystem where the app is running, or is it all managed?
So back at home. Just checked the logs and everything is fine. Got about 20 clients and 800GB of files. I only use the package for file sync, so I try to answer your questions properly:
You can install any app from the app store AFAICS.
Yes, they maintain system for you. There is no settings to select update channel. They use stable and on my instance there is v15.0.7 right now.
Huh, I cannot see any option to get the db somehow. Let me ask them on Twitter.
See
Their Wiki says it’s not possible to use their nextcloud service with your own hostname/domain. Is that really still true?
Also I didn’t see an easy way to migrate my whole encrypted nextcloud to their service. Only by telling all users of my current nextcloud to sync all their data down, change the nextcloud config to the Hetzner hostname and then sync up again.
I had actually bought a rasperry 4 for my nextcloud, but then I had problems with PiVPN. I also didn’t know how to clone my hard drives. So I went to Hetzner, less work.
Thanks for the link, but 699€ I am currently not willing to pay
