A ready-to-use image and installer for self-hosted Nextcloud on Raspberry Pi, ARM boards, VMs, and containers.
NextcloudPi is a pre-built, optimized image and installation script that deploys a full Nextcloud instance on single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi, virtual machines, and containers. It solves the complexity of manually setting up and securing a self-hosted Nextcloud server by providing a ready-to-run system with sensible defaults and automated management tools.
Hobbyists, homelab enthusiasts, and small organizations looking to self-host a private cloud for file synchronization, collaboration, and data ownership on low-power hardware or virtualized environments.
Developers choose NextcloudPi for its out-of-the-box configuration, strong security features, and ease of management via its web interface and CLI tools, eliminating the manual setup overhead typically associated with self-hosted Nextcloud deployments.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides a complete, pre-configured stack with Apache, PHP 8.1, MariaDB, and Redis, allowing setup in minutes via images or install scripts.
Includes automatic HTTPS with Let's Encrypt, Fail2Ban, UFW firewall, and ModSecurity WAF, hardening the server out of the box without manual configuration.
Offers both a web panel (port 4443) and terminal UI (ncp-config) for easy monitoring, configuration, and enabling extras like Dynamic DNS or BTRFS snapshots.
Supports automatic updates for NextcloudPi and Nextcloud, plus backup/restore and BTRFS snapshots, reducing administrative overhead.
Docker deployment has been discontinued, limiting options for users who prefer containerized environments, as noted in the README announcement.
Optimized for single-board computers like Raspberry Pi, so it may struggle with high concurrent users or data-intensive workloads due to resource limitations.
The pre-configured stack can make deep modifications challenging, such as swapping out MariaDB for PostgreSQL or adjusting core server settings beyond the provided tools.
