  • I ran it manually installed for years in a vm, then an LXC. It broke…a lot.

    Then I ran it as docker containers with MySQL for a few years. It broke…less-ish.

    Then I ran the AIO container. It was (and is) quite irritating because it’s so opinionated compared to regular docker containers. However, it hasn’t broken. It works pretty well. It’s faster than my old install and the office stuff seems to work better. However…want to do something different to the way Nextcloud AIO recommends? Nah, fuck you go kludge something together. You kinda have to do stuff their way, including things like backups.

    It’s annoying to have all my other compose containers work with volumes and similar settings and Nextcloud be kinda its own thing, but I’m sticking with the AIO container. Takes a while to set up, but at least the documentation can’t be accused of being sparse.

    That’s been my experience anyway. I’m sure smarter people than me have managed to bend it to their will a bit more.



  • Agree that this is probably best, maybe combined with a time condition (if you have a regular bed time!).

    Something to note with iPhones- you can’t scan a tag for home assistant and have it auto-execute your automation. It prompts that a tag has been scanned and then asks if you want to open home assistant…at which point just make a Lovelace button to toggle your automation as you’ll have to interact with your phone! There are hacky work arounds (last time I checked) with the shortcuts app to bypass this, but at that point maybe just use the mobile app sensors!
