What hardware do you use for Nextcloud?
I’m willing to finally get my own cloud using #Nextcloud but I have zero clue about which hardware I should choose for home storage. It would be used for domestic stuff, such as photos, music, movies and files, for the whole family, not necessarily for work

    We have a Raspberry Pi 4, and its performance is totally sufficient for photo uploads, file sync, contacts, calendar, cookbook, notes, … Don’t use just the SD card, though, but an SSD.

    @fdrc_ff@www.foxyhole.io Hi! I’m using a beelink server with Proxmox. I use Proxmox with Debian 12 and a few VMs running. My #Nextcloud instance is running on a Debian 12 VM. I use this setup for almost two years.

    I just bought a used Intel N100 mini pc with 16gb RAM and 2tb SSD for a little more than I would have paid for a Raspberry Pi 5 setup. It doesn’t draw much more power than a RPi, and I’m not limited to what’s available for ARM if I want to expand the install at some point.
