The forms app is useless. It's basically for surveys. I can't see how you'd use it for signups.

I wrote signups but I meant survey (in another comment I wrote "I would have never checked the useless survey")
Docker is kind of a giant mess in my experience. The trick to it is creating backup plans to recover your data when it fails. As such, I don't really recommend it to anyone at all.
Sounds like you are not using docker correctly.

take a VM snapshot, upgrade the app, validate it still works as intended, if not, revert from snapshot
Not to flame you, but really just an HTML form was all you needed? It's a super simple feature...
sure, but why solve problems in 10 minutes when i can do it way more sophisticated using 10x more time and resources?
(at the moment reverted to the easy html form + php send mail)
I pretty much use NextCloud as just a storage device and nothing else. Using anything in the actual UI is just atrocious and the apps are not updated or just outright abandoned, and can't be relied on.
I disagree. I use and depend on the apps including things like calendar and talk.

Us too, we only use it as a filelink provider for thunderbird and to host a useless survey that's going to get filled once a quarter. That's why nobody noticed the survey was disabled and that's why we're not doing multistage testing in multiple virtual machines. We are a super small company and ok with something that one day can be 3 days offline. Otherwise it would be cheaper to pay $100 to Surveymonkey and $100 to Dropbox
No offence, but is Docker really the best way of running NC in a professional environment? Also, if you don’t want Docker to upgrade to latest image, don’t use the “latest” tag in your configuration.
Yes, docker is the best way. Anything else is hell. It is still painful with docker but at least it is manageable
