Nextcloud Installation Is A Snap
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- I spent this afternoon setting up a new Nextcloud server on a DigitalOcean droplet with Ubuntu 20.04 Server, so I thought I would share my thoughts on the installation and on the Nextcloud software suite.

Nearly gave up installing nextcloud after watching other installation videos till i came to your stream I keep coming across your videos very interesting projects you deserve a sub. thank you
I would love to see a video on syncthing! It might be a really good solution for syncing your files between machines. Some people think it's more reliable syncing than nextcloud.
I use Syncthing myself, it does what I desire, sync files, without being dependent on a central server.
I am using syncthing for a while its not bad at all, I need to try out nextcloud and see what I can gain from it
I was literally looking at Nextcloud for syncing org files this afternoon. Thanks for the video! 👍😁
Right on time! I just finished setting up my local server and was just thinking about spinning up a NextCloud instance. Thanks for that, DT.
I really wish I could like this video twice. Thanks for the simple run through.
Thank you, this is the best install video on youtube for nextcloud snap! thanks
Glad it helped!
Honestly, the best video. I have had so much issues but this is the only one that works. Thanks!
Hey DT!... I just wanted to say that i love your videos and tutorials. You single-handedly got me hooked to VIM. I was wondering if you can show KEY-PRESSES in your tutorials on the screen, especially when you are working on window managers. ... KUDOS! and Stay Up Brother!!!
I't also possible to spin up a nexcloud using containers (use Docker OR podman). Build a nice docker(podman)-compose and then it's just one command to bring it up.
Thanks derek for showing
OH MY GOD my brother and i have been trying to setup nextcloud locally for hours! i hope this video works
Did it work?
If you're going to do it this way, make sure read the guide that he referenced. Using docker is much easier though.
Jezza... I installed all LAMP stack manually and on top of that nextcloud too! Omg! :D This method looks way easier. Thank you - good to know next time I will do this like that ;) Holly cow... haha I'm laughing at myself - but you know that at least I have experience and I learn some extra things. Thanks, DT!
Great review. Thanks!
i just dont think the convenience of the server being public facing outweighs its security risks, especially if its being used as your primary backup for files and passwords (using the passwords app), not to mention its a monthly subscription to have a DDNS setup for home-labers.
Do you share your note files DT?
Me Sees the title
Also me: NOO DT DON"T TURN TO THE DARK SNAP SIDE
You can always encrypt the folders on your system, and then send the encrypted files to Dropbox, gdrive, etc...
I just run nextcloud with the official docker image
I set up nextcloud through docker but this seems even easier. Did you get the lowest cost droplet
Yea, I'm using the cheapest option.
Interesting tutorial, thank you. How did you configure the droplet to run NC (RAM, CPU)? Did you attach a block or object storage for file storage? Thanks for any advice!
Thank you Sir.
DT is it okay if you show us your sound setup and how you make your voice this freaking sexy? I got decent mic and soundcard but I can't seem to find a good application to connect my SC and mic
Ikr. His sound quality is so great
I think in his last server rack video he actually does cover his audio setup.
Thank you! Unfortunatly it gives me a dns problem
Installing is simple but I found upgrades to be problematic. Doing a migration to the latest version left my database in a weird semi-upgraded state and I had to wipe the install and restore a database backup to get things working again.
Can confirm nextcloud does use jitsi on the backend.
holy shit.
@@illuminaut9148 I mean it makes sense to use an embeddable solution so you don't need to support it yourself.
Do I need to own the domain I’m pointing to? Like, rent it from a provider?
hello I have installed the latest MX KDE version. I chose the option: PBR for the grub so that this installation starts on a lot of pc.
I chose the right partition (my usb key or I install MX). (usb key samsung 128gb).
after installation I restart and grub error!
so where does this come from ??
I extracted the iso directly on the usb key to install MX! on my other samsung key.
I re-install in default mode, ESP, and this starts but only on the pc where I am.
I tested this with Manjaro and this starts on my 2 pc.
therefore ???
do you have the solution thank you.
How do you hook up storage to NextCloud? Digital Ocean’s price for online storage seems a little pricey.
I would get a NAS and self host it.
You don't need to worry too much about server uptime if your the only one using it. You can just go home when your ready and turn the server back on if your power goes out.
If you really want to host it on the cloud, then Linode will let you expand the disk space with volumes. Google cloud storage is also on the cheaper side I think (I haven't used it in a long time though).
Thanks for the video I did learn a few things from a couple of questions I have when I installed me a snap I could not find a way to configure storage volume everything wants to stay in the same directories that my iOS is on and that’s not where I want my files to be stored I have a different volume for that and I need the volume to be different secondly have you tried installing to be a doctor that’s what I’m working on now and I think with docker there’s more options in the configuration then or is it a snap thanks for the info have a great one
That looks simple enough, ta.
Is snap still proprietary ?
How about the Ubuntu Appliance for Nextcloud? What’s your thought on that? It’s all bundled and has support for 10 years, but it’s Ubuntu Core
Could you also do a video on Syncthing?
hey dt i need some help on this. I do not follow when you say domain server to make. Do i need to buy server or something or can i do this on my Desktop PC. What do you mean when you say ssh inn I'm not sure how. What do you mean what do i need to do this you can help thank you. Where can go so you can help me if you can thanks.
Could you make a video on Bedrock Linux? Also maybe how to self-host a secure email
Any comment on the recent Linus Torvalds interview where he said he's considering switching from MicroEmacs (an "abomination") to maybe nano because he wants his software to be actively maintained?
It is safe to use nextcloud with arch? I plan on using an arch installation only for nextcloud (and a DE just in case I need). Will it be prone to break?
Why arch? Just use Ubuntu or use docker
It could break. I suggest you to pick a non-rolling distribution (ubuntu, debian, alpine, etc.)
You can use snaps with arch,I setup a local pc in my home with Manjaro and install nextcloud via snap.
Its safe if you use Portainer (docker ui), inside Arch. It will not break.
It depends how you will maintain arch, with LTS kernels or not.
I wouldn't install nextcloud on any system without virtual environment .
I don't have a domain name. I don't really want one. If I type the IP address, I get forbidden... Is there a way to just use a bare IP with this (I skipped the Let's Encrypt part as well, but I did enable the ports)
yea, port fowarding and all
2 ways... You can edit your hosts file to resolve example(dot)com to 127(dot)0(dot)0(dot)1 or if you want a world reachable domain, you can get a free one at dynDNS , they also have cheap addons also
@@pbskids884 I should have mentioned its a VPS on Linode so I think that part is taken care of already.. I appreciate the response tho!
I strongly dislike snaps. They auto update in the background and hog your system resources. I would expect this from windows but not at all in linux.
Yeah this is outdated. Docker ftw!
Snaps are a time saver....I personally wouldn't do it with nextcloud as you can find and install a VMware image, Ubuntu iso w/it, or just natively install it within 30 mins.
However I did get a LAMP stack appimage configured and running within 1hr. Would have taken most of a day on bare metal with my limited skillset...lol
@@bigpod you can update docker containers just as easily.
@@jumpman1823 to me docker is just some incomprehensible mess. I tried for two entire days to get NextCloud working using docker and it was a miracle I got to the setup page - then it's just been a spiral of errors about databases
@@davix3f which next cloud docker image were you using? I got mine set up pretty easily (3 in fact). Can even access it remotely with a domain, cloudflare and nginx.
Could you compare this with Seafile please?
I don't use 1234. I use dt because it's a strong and secure password. :D
Snap wow never thought this app would have a snap build
Have found some pretty complicated snaps and appimages in the last month... WINE, LAMP stack, Tor, WINE w/CC Tiberian Sun game, Discord, Spotify...just to name a few...
What is the pricing?
Zero
Or.. use a docker build. A piece of software I'd argue is far better at managing this kind of software.
Damn it's a furry loser.
@@gettriggered_ian3269 Damn it's a furry hater.
NextCloud is an open-source, self-facilitated document the board application that allows you to make, alter, host, and offer records without limits. This article makes sense of how you can introduce NextCloud on a Ubuntu 22.04 server with Snap and secure the application for creation use. visit : docs.vultr.com/how-to-install-nextcloud-on-ubuntu-22-04-with-snap
This method is absolutely cursed if you want to also use your VPS for other utilities besides nextcloud. This setup process is good for only using nextcloud but nothing else.
If you're using it only locally you should give synching a try it works great for file syncing between various devices and you don't need a server
The snap install seems easier than setting up the docker container
On the other hand the docker container is easier to have nextcloud using other ports than 80 and 443. So if you have running other things on your server needing those ports the Docker container is better. There is also other things where the Docker is more flexible than the snap. So this is easiness to set up and get it running vs more customization.
@@18earendil that is true as well especially with docker-compose, which if you take the inital effort guarantees reproducrability of the container set up
r/wallstreetbets? I didn't know you were on the spectrum
i love snaps except when you need to install an app worth 400 mb simply because of its additional libraries which are already installed on my system
@@bigpod i think it should be a trend for user to have a choice to either get the minimal installer or the full package
@@bigpod well i don't think that sharing libs is so insecure it becomes a threat. as for convenience it feels like a delayed problem -- first you save up time on simple installs, then you waste time on storage management. but i am speaking from personal experience, maybe your story is very different.
@@bigpod okay now i think i understand your point completely, thanks for explaining, it was very interesting to read
What about the dead Linux distribution centos 😭😭😭😭😭😭
AlmaLinux (almalinux.org) and Rocky Linux (rockylinux.org) are two new distributions that have been created as a replacement for Cent OS.
For migration from CentOS to AlmaLinux, see this video: ruclips.net/video/EEA7NC6ROCw/видео.html
this guy talks a lot but doesn't really say much I would say this video stats at 3:47
the title should have been: Nextcloud Installation *In* A Snap
Any opinion on MEGA ?
Well the point of nextcloud is if you want to self host. MEGA is like. Dropbox
ok, you like snap, and I agree snap has it's purposes, but what if you already HAVE an active LEMP stack running a few websites and you want to install nextcloud as a subdomain (you know, how MOST people (I think) are going to do it... then that snap is worthless because it'll interfere with the active web server. what if you want to set up different nextcloud instances for different domains (or subdomains) on the same web server? I'm all for automatic dependency resolution, but having the default be a setup that conflicts with other services is NOT a good idea.
Will agree and say again, I'd rather use a docker build than a snap here.
Yep. A docker instance is better. You can have multiple nextcloud instances that won't interfere with your web server
He's got a 16+ core Threadripper...
He could be running several VM image....FTW!
@@bigpod nginx instead of apache. some applications favor one over the other, nginx tends to be significantly faster (particularly when being hit with lots of traffic) in my experience, but there's nothing wrong with either.
@@bigpod re: vm's being bloated vs. containers I agree, but also similarly containers are a very bloated way to run these things compared to running a single image of each of your your server softwares in the stack that points at multiple applications (one instance of LAMP/LEMP hosting multiple sites/applications) on bare metal.
Snaps suck
We don't like "clouds" around here. Like Richard Stallman, or Sephiroth.
if you trust the server, why not
@@jackantharia You shouldn't. Whenever it's possible, you should use your own system that is under your control to get things done and not make contributions to the trend of taking control and ownership away from the users. And I wouldn't even host something like that (something that other people call "clouds", though I refuse to use that propaganda term that are clearly created to obfuscate reality) myself because I don't believe in anything wireless, though I wouldn't call something that I set up myself for myself SaaSS, it's just my own server doing what I made it do. Anyway, go read "Who does that server really serve?" by Richard Stallman, in the GNU website. I would link it, but links are generally not allowed on RUclips from what I know. Just duck it yourself, it's the first result.
@@censoredterminalautism4073 why shouldn't I trust at least some servers? I can't deploy everything in my home. futhermore, Stallman himself distinguish rented servers from SaaSS in that article. Nextcloud (which is listed in FSF directory btw) will not work without setting up a host beforehand. also can't yet see how to deploy exit nodes to bypass GFW just locally.
as far as naming goes, "cloud" is already rooted deeply in people's lexicon. I'll probably still call IoT network a cloud, even if it's hosted locally. there's also decentralized cloud computing infrastructures developing, such as Golem Project.
but otherwise, I mostly agree with RMS tinfoil hat attitude. lot of truth in his words.
@@jackantharia Something like a VPS is fine and there are reasons to use it (and you have some control over it). The term "cloud" has to go. Some terms are actually harmful (like "lobbying", which is political newspeak for bribing, that takes an evil thing and makes it normal) and that is one of them. "IoT" is even more evil. You better believe in the devil because the corporations are building it now and calling it IoT and AI.
first
😅
Trying to follow you on this installing to an Intel NUC. But, at the point where you say I should be able to log in, I'm getting:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.
Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu) Server at 192.168.x.x Port 80
Any suggestions?
Have you tried syncthing? I don't know how it compares to nextcloud file syncing but it is super simple and runs as a service on the system. I had nextcloud serve my syncthing folder.
