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 :)

    iirc you can disable it but then you lose half of what makes it useful,

    It depends on your scanner, mine does OCR with good quality, so I simply disabled paperless OCR.

    I agree with your comment in general, for a single user server that should just about work okay.

      Can you tell me a good scanner with integrated OCR? I used to love vflat, but they took a dark turn with a pricey subscription plan

        I have the Canon imageFORMULA p-208II. The Scanner software has the UX of a rack (or TX, for tortured experience), but otherwise I’m very happy with it.
