We now have detailed guides for select NC apps!
Protip: check system requirements before installing a Nextcloud app - especially if running from a Pi or other low-powered hardware.
The below apps have been tested to work on StartOS across supported hardware platforms. Caveats and known issues are mentioned. Please leave any NC Apps feedback in this thread - it is extremely helpful to us and will lead to a better sovereign Nextcloud experience for everyone!

- You can now enable your desired recognition operations. Please be patient as these will take a long time to process (especially if you have a lot of media, or are using a Raspberry Pi or other lower power device).
Tasks
Known Limitations
