Summary of the issue you are facing:
I have been constantly having issues with my Nextcloud instance where when I use the Nextcloud desktop app (Linux) and try to sync a project through the desktop app, it’s abysmally slow to even attempt syncing this way. For example, I have a project with lots of little files and lots of folder, say a Unity project or just tons of files in general, it say it would take 7 years to sync and sometimes it would swap to say 15 hours. From what I can explain is that I have say 200,000 files all rounding out to about 20GB in total, some in the MB size and some in the KB size, After leaving my laptop on a 2.5GB connection to my Nextcloud server for about 3 hours, it only synced about 1,000 files. When I dug deeper and was looking around for why this was happening, it seems that the desktop application will transfer the file at the fastest speeds possibly, BUT when it’s starting a new file to transfer, it would just hang there for about 2-8 seconds before any data is being sent to the server.
I did more and more testing, my connection from my laptop or desktop gets about 2.3-2.5GB/s over the wire so it’s not like I’m being limited by my local network. I’ve checked the logs to be sure that I am connecting on my local network, in which I am. I’ve done about everything from adding variables to my compose file for the Nextcloud container as such:
- APACHE_BODY_LIMIT=0
- PHP_UPLOAD_LIMIT=64G
- PHP_MEMORY_LIMIT=8G
And yet, this changed basically NOTHING in regards to my syncing issues. I have Redis setup, I have my timeouts and everything setup on my Traefik to hopefully change something, I also got all my security headers for Traefik, I got my body limits increased for Traefik, and still nothing.
I’m at a loss to what I’m either doing wrong or that I have misconfigured as I really would like to have a really good workflow using this sync setup with Nextcloud for both working from home and on the go.
Any help would be appreciated.
