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

    My NextCloud is running on an old desktop that’s been repurposed into a server. The server is running Proxmox, and NC is running in docker directly on Proxmox using the nextcloud-aio image.

    Found that had better performance than running it in a VM and was less headaches than the other install options.

    I keep thinking about moving it to dedicated hardware, say some sort of mini pc, but it hasn’t been a high priority for me.

      I do this but in a docker VM. Then I can snapshot and back it up. I haven’t noticed any performance disadvantage since it’s running as a KVM guest, so it’s pretty much the same are running on bare metal.
