This is my exact setup and I’ve wondered if it would be enough. I haven’t spun up nextcloud yet, but I’ll have the need for it soon I think.
Do you run other apps through nextcloud? I have have things mostly as separate containers in the eq14, but wondered about experience from others. Is it more resource efficient to run something via nextcloud instead of separate container?
As far as Nextcloud plugins go, aside from Memories I just run the basics such as Contacts. I sync Joplin notes through it & it all syncs to 2 x desktops & a mobile. For me the Pi5 8GB with NVMe is plenty fast enough for Nextcloud & it’s proved to be stable. I run it through Docker via Portainer. This device is also running Kopia for snapshot backups, reverse proxy & Linkwarden.
The EQ14 is running Docker, Portainer, Kopia & about 5 other self hosted apps, the most processor hungry of them being Immich & Paperless. I haven’t tested against my Pi5 setup but its anecdotally massively faster & more stable than the Pi4B 4GB that I initially deployed Immich on. The Pi4 was really slow processing more than a few images at a time & sometimes crashed whereas the EQ14 doesn’t blink adding say 100 images at a time, processes face recognition etc much faster too & has never crashed. Immich was the driving factor for me to upgrade to the EQ14 & its been great. It also chews through manual backups of Paperless documents in a fraction of the time that it took my Pi4B.
The EQ14 would have no issue whatsoever running Nextcloud. I’ll be adding more self host stuff to it once I find anything else I think will be useful!
