Alternative to rsync when using NFS

[quentinus95]

Hello,

I'm trying to deploy NextCloud using image library/nextcloud:22.1.0-apache. My NextCloud folder is mounted in an NFS volume.

When deploying, the entrypoint script hangs on step Initializing nextcloud 22.1.0.1.

Using strace I found that it starts to hang when calling rsync. My understanding is that rsync has very poor performance when used over NFS.

• Could the entrypoint.sh be updated to get rid of rsync or maybe updated to only transfer a few large files instead of lots of small files?
• Do you have any workaround or additional troubleshooting hints?

I enabled a 3 minutes startup probe (it was disabled by default): https://github.com/nextcloud/helm/blob/master/charts/nextcloud/values.yaml#L370
It gave sufficient time for the app to start.
