I just spun up a Nextcloud VM, and I’m trying to decide the best way to manage the data storage.

For context, I’m running it on proxmox and installed it with This script.

Ideally I’d like to keep most of my storage on my NAS. I’m trying to figure out if I should keep the data directory local and add a NAS NFS share as external storage, or just move the whole data directory to an NFS share.

How are you guys handling your Nextcloud storage?

    Like some others, I have separate storage and compute servers.

    The data directory is an NFS share on my storage server and I run Nextcloud in docker on my compute server.

    I have the NFS share defined as a volume of type nfs in the docker compose, mounted to /var/www/html/data. Nextcloud itself just treats it like a local directory.
