Hi Guys. Currently, my Raspberry Pi 4 is only running Home Assistant OS, which works quite well. In the last few weeks, I have grown more and more interested in paperless ngx and Nextcloud. Do you think my pi would be able to handle home automation and some light document management simultaneously? If so, should I install a fresh version of Raspbian or let HA-OS handle the Docker containers?

Thanks for your answers, and have a wonderful day :)

    That’s normal

    Ahaha. The current state of software development and what people accept as normal is just mind-boggling. And no, it’s not “normal” nor “ok”, it slows down things and the UI sometimes crashes with more data.

      I take it you’ve never seen the amount of crap that gets put into journalctl then. I’ve never encountered a Nextcloud crash with the amount of data I have. It could have been a deployment issue on your end. My docker containers have been running fine.

        I tired bare metal and docker, it’s shit and I’m not the only one complaining so I’ll assume you’ve been lucky so far. Either way you can’t deny that the UI is a piece of crap and my “personal favorite” is the webmail UI that can’t even WYSIWYG properly.

          It’s been 4 years, that’s one hell of a lucky streak. Eh, the UI is fine, way better than syncthing’s anyways and its client has working partial sync. I get that you have hate for Nextcloud, but personally I am not about the mess of disparate tools in your post just to get something equivalent to Nextcloud tbh. To each their own.

            Well partial sync is the only thing you can say that is an advantage… but frankly you can emulate with in Syncthing with exclusion patterns. I “hate” Nextcloud because it eventually failed in all deploys I made with it. They don’t even get right a simple WYSIWYG editor. As I said before I re-try Nextcloud from time to time, and I would love very much to see it succeed and replace all the other tools I use, but it doesn’t deliver on the promise. At least not for the numbers of users I have.

            What logic does it have to advertise your solution as an alternative to MS365 / Google Workplace if they can’t even deliver a properly working and useful webmail? The WYSIWYG is broken, you can’t resize the window to make it bigger and some other annoying details. And then there are always constant complaints of others about losing all data on upgrades (I haven’t experienced this but still).
