Now I get why people are reluctant to use SDs in their #RaspberryPi. I have what's quite clearly a worn or corrupted SD (which is used for the whole filesystem). I'm getting #dpkg fatal errors, terminal quirks and all sorts of funny business. Fingers crossed a #fsck can do the trick. If not, I'll need to reinstall everything :( I think I should invest in an m.2 adapter or just plug in a spare SSD via USB and mount the filesystem on that. Any better suggestions? I use this Pi 24/7 for #DNS.
@m_svo @syntax Its reliability depends on its purpose, I have RPi with SD for 3.5 years and had no problems with it. PiHole doesn't need excessive write to disk (if you disable dns logs) so it should be reliable for PiHole purpose. As for Nextcloud you definitely need some SSD for read/write speeds, I think that RPi4 can manage Nextcloud pretty well, I'm yet to try it when I get one.

The thing is, Nextcloud has a built in OnlyOffice server (by default) starting from NC 19 I think. Previously you needed a separate server for it.
NC 20 has even more features (I did not yet upgrade).
With such rapid growth, I would not count on RPi 4 to handle NC now, or maybe not in near future. I may be wrong though, I never owned an RPi myself.
@nikolal
Yeah I'm not sure why my SD is having issues as I only use the Pi (4B) for Pi-hole. Maybe I'll try disabling logs etc. Or maybe it's something else that's causes the issue. But either way, it has made me reluctant to use SD going forward. The annoying thing is I have a spare m.2 but no adapter (Pi hat or adapter cable). I wonder how well my 1TB HDD would perform instead...

@m_svo @nikolal @syntax I have Nextcloud rocking on one of these & enjoying it:

@nikolal @syntax
I have my DNS server in the "cloud" with DoT enabled. It functions similar to Pi-hole.
For Nextcloud at home I'm going to buy a mini PC (like Intel NUC or similar), RaspberryPI is kinda weak for that, and (I think) won't be as reliable.
