Home Assistant, Nextcloud and paperless ngx on a Pi 4 (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi Guys. Currently, my Raspberry Pi 4 is only running Home Assistant OS, which works quite well. In the last few weeks, I have grown more and more interested in paperless ngx and Nextcloud. Do you think my pi would be able to handle home automation and some light document management simultaneously? If so, should I install a fresh version of Raspbian or let HA-OS handle the Docker containers?

Thanks for your answers, and have a wonderful day :)

I would, but you have to decide on your own. I dont know can you afford HA downtime, how much experience you have and how much time you want to burn. I found docker frustrating to learn but super rewarding. Keep in mind Im still new.

Its best to backup and/or get spare SD card to learn how to setup everything. Be prepared for begginer mistakes, but once you get familiar a bit it will be much easier.

If you can manage docker containers in HAOS just try it. I have 0 experience with HAOS so cant help much, but I saw Portainer is available as HA addon. You should be able to manage all docker containers with simple Portainer GUI.

I had dietpi or raspbian OS with docker, docker-compose and Portainer installed. Then I started many containers (including HA) using Portainer. If you go this path you will lose HA addons. I believe most addons can be replaced with docker containers from hub.docker.com, but Im not sure about that. Ive just seen some HAOS vs Docker posts
