Hi, I have an old ThinkPad that’s running Arch for some self-hosted things, but I want to repurpose it to be dedicated to NextCloud with file sync and some apps (mainly Photos). Setting it up from scratch with Arch packages looks like way too much work. Should I use the Docker image on the existing OS, or a different package type, or wipe and start with a new OS?

I’m looking for the easiest solution that still has good performance and isn’t going to break when it updates.

Docker works really well for me and doesn’t require too much maintenance. I use Debian for the host. Updates can easily be tested with a second container.

Thanks, this was looking like my default option. Do you use the official image or AIO?

I think I just used the latest official image, which I then manually update every now and then.
