documentation enhancement: capability SYS_NICE #11083

Description

@borg1622

In the Nextcloud documentation: Installation and server configuration > Server tuning > Previews is the following statement:

Make sure to start Imaginary with the -return-size command line parameter. Otherwise, there will be a minor performance impact. The flag requires a recent version of Imaginary (newer than v1.2.4) and is by default added to the aio-imaginary container. Also make sure to add the capability SYS_NICE via –cap-add=sys_nice or cap_add: - SYS_NICE as it is required by imaginary to generate HEIC previews.

As I don't use nextcloud-aio I've installed Imaginary without using docker.
In this context I stumbled over the third sentence which advises to
add the capability SYS_NICE via –cap-add=sys_nice.
It took me some research that this statement is docker related and therefore not relevant in my case.

I therefore suggest that this statement be clarified so that its ties to Docker is made clear.
i.e.

Also make sure to add the docker container capability SYS_NICE via –cap-add=sys_nice or cap_add: - SYS_NICE as it is required by imaginary to generate HEIC previews.

P.S.: This was likely introduced by the following pull request #9724
