You can significantly improve your Nextcloud performance with memory caching,
where frequently-requested objects are stored in memory for faster retrieval.

# install PHP module 
apt-get install php-redis
service php7.0-fpm restart
 
# Generate secure redis authentication password
echo "securepassword123" | sha256sum

The sum has to be filled in in /etc/redis/redis.conf file, after requirepass:
requirepass b2f432de6f9c411f9fc312b58e77d96b7b397c8[….]
