Hi, I have an old ThinkPad that's running Arch for some self-hosted things, but I want to repurpose it to be dedicated to NextCloud with file sync and some apps (mainly Photos). Setting it up from scratch with Arch packages looks like way too much work. Should I use the Docker image on the existing OS, or a different package type, or wipe and start with a new OS?

I'm looking for the easiest solution that still has good performance and isn't going to break when it updates.

I think I just used the latest official image, which I then manually update every now and then.
