Thanks DS256,
Yes, I want to install on a Raspberry Pi. Mentioning Fedora was to show my level of "experience" with Linux. Nextcloud is a way to run your own (sort of) DropBox. I have space on a hosted web-server, for my website, and I also had my NextCloud instance there. I don't know how you call that other than webspace, but I'm not native English speaking. How would you call what I describe? "Permissions" is maybe not completely the right way to describe it, but I cannot run commands in a terminal on that webspace (there is a Nextcloud terminal app, but that doesn't work). I know there are work-rounds, by using CRON, but that's to difficult for me. And because of the lack of access to a terminal, I cannot configure some things in the suggested best way.
Of course I found the guides to install and run NextCloud, OVM and BorgBase. (You even have this: https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi)
But often on forums, if people talk about running servers, they tell they use Dockers for a lot stuff, so that seemed recommended.
Running Nextcloud within a Docker container has several advantages that we will quickly go over.
  • The first is that it is super easy to update. You can upgrade to the latest version of Nextcloud with just a couple of simple commands.
  • Secondly, it makes the set-up process super straightforward. You don’t have to worry about setting up a web server and PHP, as that’s all within the container.
  • Thirdly, containerizing everything means you don’t have to install software directly into your operating system. This helps, especially when using software that relies on different versions of PHP.

So if a Docker would be better for NextCloud, maybe it's also better for OMV. But since I don't completely understand the concept, I don't know. Hence my questions. And yes I can install BorgBase, but is that a good solution for a server? And does that work with Dockers? If I have a crash, would it be easy to get my system up and running. Since my business would depend on it. Is that more clear (it is the same as "can I rely on BorgBase).
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.
This is indeed also part of my question. People in forums claim they have set up NextCloud and it could run for years with little maintenance needed.
I know I would need a hard drive, it didn't seem relevant to my question. I know about RAID, but I have the impression it's way more expensive and it still is risky if you don't have a cloud version (in case the device gets damaged as a whole).
