Your specs are definitely OK. In my setup I **can** saturate 1Gbit/s LAN with slower hardware. > [@NC download speed slower through traefik](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/nc-download-speed-slower-through-traefik/111077/5): > > In the meanwhile I moved my docker to PC (Debian 10 on i3 6th Gen+16GB RAM+spinning disk). While the speed is unchanged with WiFi, with LAN connection I get much higher throughput. Browser transfer is \>100MBIt/s for 1GB file and client sync goes over 500MBit/s (spikes to \>800MBit/s). My conclusion is the problem is not related to Traefik itself as my tests proof it CAN handle faster transfers.

It may be the case NC15 ist faster then NC21. I assume current version has contains move moving parts. My test show that NC itself and traefik CAN saturate the network - see another test, here I added 4 files with total size of 3,5GB. It was interesting initially I had send speed close to 1 GBit/s, then short pause and then another block at ~300-500MBit/s. complete transfer was finished in less then 40 seconds on NC21 container with traefik, with HT… > [@Limited upload speed on docker container](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/limited-upload-speed-on-docker-container/107739/16): > > I’m sorry there is nothing wrong with Nextcloud running as Docker container behind Traefik. Below results from Windows 10 desktop client 3.3.6 against Nextcloud Docker container 22.2.3 running on old Core i3/16GB RAM where container lives on magnetic HDD with ZFS filesystem: [image] Download from NAS is definitely faster but NC is close enough on hardware limits… 570 Mbps is far more you need for daily usage… But in general transfer speed is highly dependent on the files - large files are expected to transfer close to hardware limits, lot of small files could be significant slower due to application overhead (e.g. read/write to the database). Review you NC config - some apps are known to slow down the system e.g. external storage. Start with really basic system and and functionality slowly to nail the problem. > [@Slow desktop client sync](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/slow-desktop-client-sync/96412): > > Nextcloud version (eg, 19.0.3): Operating system and version (QNAP QTS 4.4.3+Docker): Apache or nginx version (Docker image 19.0.3): CPU: Celeron J1900 @ 1.99GHz (4\*cores) RAM: 8GB initially posted as comment to [https://help.nextcloud.com/t/up-download-to-slow-only-2mb-s-after-installation-despite-good-hardware/96105/15](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/up-download-to-slow-only-2mb-s-after-installation-despite-good-hardware/96105/15) but break out to own topic due to recommendation of @KarlF12 it takes multiple days to perform initial sync to the clients - both on Win and Linux in local LAN with 1GBit… --- _[View the full topic](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/nextcloud-vs-syncthing-speed/141286)._
