A wish for out of the box optimization…

I have been playing around with Nextcloud for years. It is by far one of the most fun platforms I have used but still can’t use it in a real production.

After building the servers I always run a pen-test and the platform is broken out of the gate especially as you add more apps to the platform. The encryption part is good, but kills performance which negates the purpose of it in the first place.

I just wish it was optimized, had a reduced attack surface, and had more instructions on what is needed or automatically make changes to optimize for new apps being added.

Look, I love the idea of the platform. I hate that it’s not simple from a technical standpoint.
