not myself, but my stepdad tried it with 2 decades of IT and linux sysadmin experience.

basically, it is great if you want to host like 2 or 3 standalone services on a pi to get into understanding how the basics of selfhosting work, but for homelabs and deep customization, you’re better off with docker compose on debian/ubuntu server.

by now i use nextcloud for everything except files. i do use it a lot for e.g. contacts, calendar, etc.

sshfs is simply a godsend for true instant easy multidevice file access
