Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can 
Nextcloud version : 15.0.2
Operating system and version : FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p2
Apache or nginx version : nginx-1.14.2_6,2
PHP version : php72-7.2.14_1
The issue you are facing:
File uploads from the web do not transfer faster than ~10 Mbit/s per second despite plenty of bandwidth and system resources being available. Available bandwidth is around ~100 MBit/s (tested with iperf3, file transfer tested with sftp as well). System load average is around 0.2, over 1 GB of free memory, hard disks are largely idle (confirmed with gstat and systat -iostat 1).
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error?:
Fresh installation of Nextcloud 15 on a FreeBSD 12 server.
Steps to replicate it:
- Install Nextcloud 15 from FreeBSD ports tree, with all caching options enabled
- Configure server (& components) following instructions in documentation
- Upload a file through the web interface
The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:
Only failed login attempts (leftover from previous installation as I reinstalled & configured again after finding poor web upload performance).

The only configuration setting that I found which made a difference was in nginx: client_body_buffer_size 4096k – this improves file uploads in the web interface by nearly 6x. However this seems like a bad setting (I am no nginx expert) according to their documentation:
https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#client_body_buffer_size
which suggests 8k or 16k
Looking for some insight or feedback.
Hoping to figure out how to run a Nextcloud server on FreeBSD with PostgreSQL & nginx with good performance.
Thanks
