I got a question - do you use the SD card or have you plugged an external drive to your RPi? If you use the SD card, are you noticing any considerable delays when uploading / downloading stuff?
Hello! My name is Thomas and I'm a nerd. I like tech and gadgets and speculative fiction, and playing around with programming. It's not my day job, but I'm working on making it a side gig :)
The OS is on an SD card but all storage is on a separate USB drive.
For our usage pattern (two users, few devices concurrently) I can detect no performance issues at all.
Apparently it becomes a problem with high concurrency because the ethernet port shares a bus with the USB connectors, so disk writes and network traffic ends up competing for the bus causing slowdowns.
NextCloudPi - looks pretty neat!

Thanks! The shared bus info was something I did not anticipate.
