General discussion • Re: Raspberry as a server, NextCloud - OMV - BorgBase

Hi,
I'm a beginner Linux-user, familiar with the terminal and using Fedora on a Framework laptop. I'm no programmer or developer, but I once wrote a bash-script

Ok, but I assume your question is about running a RPI OS on what I assume is one of your "::-- 2 x Raspberry Pi 3 - Kodi - MoOde Player - 1 x Raspberry Pi 4 as desktopcomputer --::--". Correct?

I was using NextCloud on my webspace, and I love NextCloud but when using it on your webspace, you don't have enough permissions to configure or fix everything. So I want to try running my own server with NextCloud, if I'm correct, that's not too difficult.

I am not a user/familiar with NextCloud https://nextcloud.com/. I don't understand your reference to 'webspace'. Is this a product or a concept of a web server deployment on a RPI?

Can you provide more information on what RPI OS permission issues you are experiencing?

Have you researched implementing NextCloud on RPI OS? Here's an example https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-nextcloud-server/

I think running it in Docker is a good idea (I have no experience with Docker). Since I have a server then, I can as well use it for

Why do you feel you need Docker in order to run Nextcloud installed on RPI OS? If you are experiencing permission issues, you will likely experience those in a Docker deployment

OpenMediaVault. Should I run that in a Docker as well?

Same questions as above. Also have you researched OpenMediaVault deployment on RPI OS? Here's an example https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-openmediavault.

Of course I need a back-up system and I have a BorgBase-account. So I can use Pika or Vorta. Can I run that in a way that everything is backup safely and easy recoverable?

Again, have you looked to see what others have done such as this https://thedeanda.com/posts/borg-rpi4/

I'm self-employed and I would use the agenda, booking app and contact app from nextcloud, so it has to be quite stable and safe, I cannot afford serious outages.

No insult intended, but by your own admission of "I'm a beginner Linux-user" you don't have the experience yet to administer a high available deployment.

I can't state on whether or not if one of the RPI's will support your deployment needs in terms of CPU and memory resources. It sounds like you also need an external hard drive/SSD for your business critical data. You may want to look at RAID for that.

So my questions are:

• How to run OMV best?

• Can I rely on BorgBase for backup

See replies above.

Also keep in mind this is not RPI technical support but a forum mostly manned by users of RPI products.
