For the past year, NextCloud has been our go-to solution for cloud storage and file management. However, we’ve recently made the tough decision to discontinue NextCloud from our server. In this recent update, we’ll explain the reasons behind this decision, share the exciting new additions to our server, and outline how these changes will benefit us.
Why We Discontinued NextCloud
Persistent Errors: NextCloud has been plagued with ongoing errors that disrupted user experience and made day-to-day operations frustrating. Despite troubleshooting and updates, the issues persisted and became a barrier to seamless file access.
High Maintenance Requirements: Maintaining NextCloud demanded significant time and effort, including frequent updates, database management, and troubleshooting compatibility issues. This high level of upkeep became unsustainable.
Performance Challenges: Over time, NextCloud’s performance deteriorated. Users experienced slow response times, lag during uploads, and synchronization delays. These performance issues made the system less reliable for critical tasks.
What’s New?
We’re excited to introduce Immich, a powerful and efficient tool for automatic backup of images and videos. Immich addresses a key gap left by NextCloud and ensures your cherished memories and essential files are securely stored and accessible.

To enhance the user experience further, we’ve integrated Authentik into several of our key services, including:
Immich: Now with single sign-on (SSO) capabilities, making access simpler and more secure.
LubeLogger: Streamlined authentication for your vehicle logging needs.
Mealie: Easy, unified login for recipe management and meal planning.
These integrations reflect our commitment to providing robust, secure, and user-friendly solutions tailored to your needs.

Benefits of the New Setup
Automatic Backups with Immich: Say goodbye to manual uploads. Immich handles backups of images and videos automatically, saving you time and effort.
Enhanced Security with Authentik: With SSO, you’ll enjoy the convenience of a single login for multiple services while benefiting from modern security protocols.
Reduced Maintenance: By shifting to solutions like Immich and Authentik, we’ve significantly reduced the time spent on server upkeep, enabling us to focus on delivering better services.
Improved Performance: The new setup is faster, more reliable, and better optimized to meet your needs.
Looking Ahead
While it’s always difficult to part ways with a long-standing solution like NextCloud, we’re confident that these changes will deliver a better experience for everyone. Our focus remains on providing reliable, efficient, and secure services.
