Hardware recommendations for a Nextcloud server with 50 users

🚧 Installation
1

Hello,

I want to set up a Nextcloud server in my company. About 50 users will have access to the Nextcloud and a storage of at least 10 TB for data is necessary.

I read the recommendations in the official websites for version 11 (Deployment Recommendations — Nextcloud 11 Server Administration Manual 11 alpha documentation) which states “One server with at least 2 CPU cores, 16GB RAM, local storage as needed”.

Unfortunately no information is given about optimal or best hardware requirements and if the new version 12 has extended requirements.

I read the system requirements for version 12 but it seems a bit short (System Requirements — Nextcloud 12 Server Administration Manual 12 documentation). If I just missed the correct page, please tell me!

Therefore I would like to know how much memory and CPUs would be necessary for a Nextcloud server with Version 12 that can handle 10 TB or more of data and synchronizes without much delay.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
