I guess that means it’s dead, as there’s no way a corporation would pay millions to acquire a competitor just to continue developing a free alternative to their own product

Nice rant ;)
I did never have any problems with installing it, but once or twice with upgrading. And I agree with you that the setup is complex with all the possible options and getting it to run well takes some time.
When it comes to the apps, Nextcloud is a very open system. Its easy to publish an app, and the quality of the apps varies. Some apps are abandoned and don’t work in recent versions. Personally, I would recommend to keep the number of apps low for stability and security reasons.
The update process is absolutely horrible, especially with containers.
I seriously cannot understand how this hasn’t been fixed ages ago. Upgrading is kind of important and nextcloud isn’t doing that much weird stuff that it didn’t upgrade itself.
I agree. I even had a documentation how to upgrade my instance since I keep on breaking it every time.
That was the case for me. I had a nextcloud setup with a few productivity apps (calendar, contacts, notes, some 3rd party). In one case I forgot to deactivate apps before update and it crashed. In another case I deactivated it first to find out they are partially not usable anymore after update.
Now I try it with one container app for one use case (seafile, baikal etc.).
