Well, Nextcloud runs like shit on a Pi WITHOUT having to do AI stuff, so.....
People should stop suggesting Nextcloud for Rpi. I really love Nextcloud but it sometimes struggles even with somewhat decent machine.
I love Nextcloud but it's just oh so painfully slow at times
That's likely a problem with your configuration. Mine was slow too until I set up redis.
Great that you don't have any problems with it, I do at times. It's not a problem with the config either (at least not the Nextcloud config) because I set it up using the Nextcloud VM script, not manually. It's not slow all the time but when it feels all the slower for it.
Nextcloud would struggle on devices with low CPU performance and slow storage speed. A Pi checks all those box. You might increase the performance a bit by running nextcloud from an external SSD but there is no fixing the Pi's low CPU performance.
I've tried running NextCloud from a system with a SATA SSD and a Core i7 using WSL.....and it still ran like shit.
Not using redis? Mine ran like shit and I almost gave up until I set up file locking and caching.
