Simple One-Click Nextcloud Deployment
- Use NextcloudPi to get a one-click self-hosted Nextcloud with sane defaults and tested updates.
- Rely on the community's testing recommendations before applying stable updates to reduce maintenance burden.
Run NextcloudPi On Any Debian Host
- Install NextcloudPi on any Debian system using the provided script for ARM or x86 hardware.
- Treat Debian compatibility as the main requirement rather than specific devices like Raspberry Pi.
