Comment on Establishing an ideal home drive using raspberry pi 4 model B(xfce)with help of nextcloud

Not sure how the new Pi5 is but Pi4 struggles quite a bit with Nextcloud. Nextcloud is not really designed to run on low-end devices, let alone an SBC. It may seem fine for the first time but when you actually try to do something, it’ll get sluggish and oftentimes downright completely fail.
I stopped using my Pi4 for anything file related but I guess there might be something that it can reliably run(I’m guessing Syncthing).

Yep, same. I would add that if you get a compatible usb sata enclosure and run the OS off that the performance improvement is tangible, but i still felt it wasnt worth running nextcloud this way. Even on a pentium nuc i feel this just barely put nextcloud over the acceptable threshold.
