Why would you run the client in a container? I was talking about the server.



Because the client can be just as vulnerable to security issues as the server is.


Isolating for security is a totally different topic. We talked about pinning the application to a specific version, and I suggested that it can be done with various tools, isolating from a bigger operating system where packages would automatically updated and Nextcloud would break after a while. It has nothing to do with security.

Of course you can do security for isolation on top of it any time, and sure, you won't get security updates after a while which would be nice, but there are tools to secure an outdated app in other ways either.

Not really.
