			=== Boost image preview generation speed ===

			Using the microservice [https://fly.io/docs/app-guides/run-a-global-image-service Imaginary], it is possible to boost image preview generation speed of Nextcloud. Just add following configs.

			services.nextcloud = {
			imaginary.enable = true;
			settings.preview_format = "webp";
			};

	For easy deployment, there's the [https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/richdocumentscode richdocumentscode app] which bundles the CODE server. While being less performant than a standalone deployment of the CODE server, this solution does not require an additional service to be deployed and managed externally from NextCloud. Unfortunately the richdocumentscode app bundles the CODE server as an AppImage and therefore does not work out of the box on NixOS. Follow https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/339798 if you want to get informed about packaging progress. Also CODE standalone is currently not packaged in nixpkgs (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/218878).

			=== Memories ===
			To enable hardware acceleration, nextcloud will need access to the graphics card with e.g:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
			users.users.nextcloud.extraGroups = [ "video" ];
			systemd.services.phpfpm-nextcloud.serviceConfig = {
			DeviceAllow = "/dev/dri/renderD128 rw";
			PrivateDevices = lib.mkForce false;
			};
			</syntaxhighlight>You will still need to enable the relevant app configuration through "Administration Settings > Memories > HW Acceleration".
