Nextcloud-Unit-Docker

🔥 Nextcloud + Unit = Better speed 🔥

☹️ Many people know that Nextcloud is not known for its performance This repository allows you to get the most performance out of your Nextcloud

✅ Why is this solution fast?

1. Instead of the standard Apache, the new performance Nginx Unit is used
2. Postgresql is used instead of SQLite / MySQL
3. Redis based caching is used (APCu is not used for ease of support).
4. alpine versions of postgres and redis containers are used. Less weight - more speed
5. Use current version of php with OPCache enabled

🏎️ What is the speed in the end?

With a regular docker container all-in-one on my server, the load took about 2-3sec. With the new configuration it takes about 1s to boot up
