I was like WTF is LS10 and then I realised you wrote LSIO and it all clicked into place ๐Ÿ˜‚

27.0.1 NextcloudPi, specifically. Running on a Pi4 that's booting from a 1TB SSD. Currently using it for photo backup from my phone and sync point for Quillpad. I tried AIO on my main server, but it ran poorly on my admittedly older hardware. The Pi build seems to run well, so far.

When I was doing the reading, it suggested that the AIO was the successor of the Pi version, your experience doesn't support that. Would you suggest going for the Pi?

My main server is a HP Microserver gen 8 with a passively cooled Xeon (don't remember which atm), 16GB of RAM. By computer standards it's pretty old. (That generation was made from 2013 to 2015, iirc). I still tried the AIO docker container installed on Unraid. Beyond the difficulties with initial setup, it ran really poorly. Navigation through the Web app was sluggish. I also noticed that it took quite a bit of the available system resources, more than I had to spare with the other apps I was running.

So once I heard about the Pi build, I had to try. I had the Pi4 collecting dust anyway. And so far, it runs better. I found the setup wizard to be easier as well.

Note: I'm still new in my selfhosting journey. About a year now.

Seems like the Pi version is the way to go then. If your Pi 4 was having issues, my Pi 5 definitely will

Latest. Use it for personal storage, data sync, carddav and caldav

[โ€“] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How are you finding it? Do you connect from outside or just sync when you get home?

[โ€“] fraksken 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a great peace of mind. Runs well, syncs contacts and calendars betwrrn devices. I also sync all data to home for a backup

[โ€“] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 1 points 2 years ago

Damn, this sounds like exactly what I need.

[โ€“] fraksken 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It runs on a dedi in a datacenter, not at home. So yeah, always connected.

Ooh, fancy! I feel like I should I need sunglasses when I look at you now, my eyes keep turning to stars and I'm drooling ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] chris@l.roofo.cc 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Latest inside docker. Not the all in one version.

[โ€“] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Any particular reason why not the AIO one?

[โ€“] chris@l.roofo.cc 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes. I have a shared database server for several services. And the AIO stuff came out after I had set up my server and I am way too lazy to change it now.

[โ€“] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's fair. If you were starting anew, would you go for the AIO?

[โ€“] chris@l.roofo.cc 2 points 2 years ago

Not sure. I'd have to look again how it works exactly.
