  • docker

    â›´ Docker image of Nextcloud (by nextcloud)

  • As mentioned by u/Eirikr70, Nextcloud is a bit of overkill for this use-case, unless you need some kind of web interface for the users or the community aspect Nextcloud provides. If this is in fact what you're after you could set up the RPI with Raspbian, install Docker and then use the official Nextcloud image to run it. If you don't need these advanced features, a NFS or SMB server would probably suffice.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
