I use Joplin (hosted on my home Nextcloud server) and its very good, so far. I haven’t had it long. Nextcloud also has a native Notes app that is decent but not very featureful. Joplin works well for me, as I already had a Nextcloud instance.

Currently split between VMs and physicals. I’m refactoring these ,with plans to build out and migrate much of it to a minipc proxmox cluster.
Adding:
proxmox
podman/portainer
unbound
ngnx proxy mgr
Solid server
homepage
matrix
searxng
some sort of mail stack, TBD
I’ve gotten some from Newegg that were only wrapped in bubble wrap.
You got the VIP treatment! I swore off NewEgg for 20 years because they packed 1200 CD-RWs poorly, which caused the product to be mostly ruined by jostling around in the box. They wanted me to pay return shipping or no refund at all for the useless product.
Good to hear they haven’t changed the shipping department.
Not sure about OP. Altice/Suddenlink doesn’t let you have access. The garbage modem/router/wifi combo they send out is locked down and they won’t give you access to the admin interface. Shitty comoany.
Most guides are for the initial setup, so if you are not starting from scratch, YMMV.
This is the one that put me on the right track, but it’s for older version of Ubuntu, so it’s not exact step-by-step because it’s old.
A more updated guide to the same basic setup, but i’ve never used it so I can’t vouch for whether it is accurate:
https://www.knthost.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-memory-caching-with-apcu-and-redis
(edit: I just checked and it is accurate, but it just hand-waves away the redis setup. which is not insignificant)
Here is the NC docs page.
Note: If you are short on RAM or want the simpler version for home/lan use, you can just set up APCu and get a decent performance boost. I got better performance with both: APCu for file locking along with redis for memcaching. But setting up both will be a bit more complicated to setup and maintain.
Six months ago, I was exactly where you are, but updating host OS, then updating Nextcloud to 27, and setting up memcaching worked great for me. Get everything updated before doing the setup, though, or you’ll break shit and have to troubleshoot.
It can be slow out of the box, but if you set up locking/memcaching (I use APCu+redis), it’s way faster.
I get not wanting to mess with it though. I was at that point until I got more free time. Now I have mine running smoothly, but I had to put in maybe 10 hours to iron out all the things, although that includes upgrading the host OS because it had gotten old. If I had a full time job, I’d probably just pay for a fully hosted NC.
That’s what I use for my low intensity projects. I didn’t realize the i7 ones were that cheap now, maybe I should grab another.
Then don’t use the docker? I have had good luck with the standalone on my own server, as well as the .ova they provide (on proxmox.)
I probably ought to try the snap again but last time I tried, it for borked.
