  • I’ve shit-talk NC so much on here and other forums but for some reason kept feeling compelled to try to make it work. I’ve tried a few of the Community Docker templates available on Unraid “store” as well as AIO. I’ve had issues with all of them. Then gave NextcloudPi a try on a spare Pi 4 (installed a SSD as boot instead of microSD) and it works much better. It’s still much slower than I think it should be, but this version is far and away more responsive than the others.

    Seafile is a beast of an app that syncs and performs incredibly fast. Some folks won’t use it due to the git-like chunks it parses your data into on the server end (this is what accounts for the speed from what I’ve read). I understand the concerns in that regard, but I still like it and I have my own way to mitigate that concern.

    Most services are on the unraid box. But I had a pi running Pi-hole for a long time (switched to adguardhome) and wanted that separate from the main server in case it went down. Pis boot up a lot faster than my server hardware and then you still need to start the array and mount drives. Having AGH on a Pi as primary DNS means minimal internet outages caused by my tinkering. I was given the 4 and put it in a really cool case that can fit a M.2 or 2.5" SSD and boot from it. So that is NextcloudPi and AGH. The 3 is because my 3d printer is nowhere near a LAN connection and 3 has WiFi. The 4 is sitting next to my router. We won’t mention the 1B I’ve been messing with too…
