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 :)

    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).
