NextCloud Limit Bandwidth from server and not client
-
Hi,
I am deploying NC as backup option backed with saltstack and running remote commands on minions to put files into NC folder.
I came to this issue, I need to setup the upload speed preferably from the server and not the client, any idea how can i do so ?
-
From what I've read, the server-side doesn't have the limit options like the client does.
You might be able to limit the bandwidth using nginx or apache. -
You mean set the client upload speed but from the server?
I believe the settings are in a file that you could manipulate with salt.
But nothing server side for this.
-
yeah in the Appdata Local, found it and working on it.
However this is good idea for them. As people with WiFi connections rapes the bandwidth if set to unlimited.
Yup I sometimes come with smart stuff, and suggestions not always but I have my moments.

@emad-r I'm with @black3dynamite, the proper way to do this server side is via the web server. Lots of instructions for it online, like https://www.devside.net/wamp-server/download-speed-limit-and-throttling-for-apache-2-4

I never have issues with this.

Well cause you use WIFi 5 Ghz AC perhaps, I am stuck with peanuts WiFi till we find budget for 100 machines for USB wifi adapters for AC 5 Ghz.
It is hard to justify that when you have the standard USB 2.4 ghz cost 10 JOD while the AC 5 ghz one is 30 JOD.

Wouldn't faster wifi be more of an issue than slower?

Nope, the slower the WiFi the longer it takes to backup the files, thus the longer backup job that never finishes.
Add to that 10 users same effect and we get those users that slow down everything, the faster they finish the better IMO, also if user on this slow WiFi adapter or other wishes to receive emails or print to network it will also be very slow on his end.
I wish if that office was cable connected instead, and cables everywhere. We have very good switches and every client will be able to reach ~80 MB/s instead of this 4 MB/s wifi. Some users have 40 GB worth of backup.

I'm confused, you want to make the system slower, but slower is the problem?
