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 NAS, which is my old PC. Ryzen 1700 w/16 GB of RAM, which is way overkill (just need like 2 cores and 4GB RAM or so).

    Hardware isn’t particularly important, NC isn’t all that heavy. If you’re using Collabora or OnlyOffice or something, you may need to care a bit. Use what you have, and upgrade when you run into issues.

    That said, I’m considering switching to Seafile because it can apparently do Collabora now. I don’t use any of the NC features, I just want a Google Docs replacement.
