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

    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.

    Pi5 8GB with SSD. Only 1 user but often sharing folders with others including Memories photo sharing add on. Syncs between several machines & mobile. Also syncs Joplin notes. Pi5 also hosts variety of other (lightweight) stuff with no issues at all (Portainer, Nginx Proxy Manager, Linkwarden etc).

    Previously hosted on Pi4B (4GB) with external hard drive. I’ve found the Pi5 + SSD faster & more robust so for me it’s been a worthwhile upgrade

    @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’m running Nextcloud as a VM on Proxmox, Proxmox running on a NUC6i5SYH, with 32GB and 1TB SSD. The Nextcloud VM had 8GB of RAM assigned, which is more than enough, I think I could get away with 4. There’s only two users though, so it doesn’t see a lot of Intensive usage.

    It’s been working like a charm for me for years already.

    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.

        Cant answer for them, but if you use dietpi they have use the debian package set up with scripts to pull dependencies like a webserver and database automatically. It was very painless in my experience.
