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.
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).
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).

(https://pimylifeup.com/nextcloud-docker/)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.

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.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.
