My personal #Nextcloud server has 12 (very) active users (family + in-laws), over 1TB of data and growing
It is used for file synchronisation and also as a groupware suite where we store various documents among family members to manage administrative paperwork, work/school stuff, share/edit documents with Collabora, auto-upload media files from phones, share family pics and videos
- the storage back-end is S3-compatible (Wasabi)
- DB runs on PostgreSQL

Everything went flawlessly, Zabbix/Kuma monitoring and restic are operational
Down time: one hour. Only one user noticed: of course, one that is living in the same time zone

in reply to Ricardo • • •We do regularly 'merge', well, we ship them by default, but the result is the same - we ensure they are available and work with the major releases. But with >300 apps, we just can't do that for all of them... for now 😉
