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 :)

DIdn’t Intel stop making NUCs?

Yes but you can find old hardware for sale too. Another alternative are the micro form factor Dell Optiplex PCs.

I run nextcloud with two 6TB drives on a core2 quad optiplex with 4gb of ram. Runs like a dream. I say start on the pi and migrate to something faster if you really find you want/need nextcloud.

They did, which is a huge shame. You can get equivalent mini PCs from vendors like Minisforum tho.

Intel did but believe they are being made (MSI et )
