Thanks Don. You rock! 😊 I would love to see a video about setting up a phone to store photos in next cloud. Setting up sync and keeping the phone memory free. (Compare to iPhotos and its seamless backup) Thanks
Yep, I’d like to see how you’ve setup the on-the-go access - reverse proxy, cloudflare tunnel, VPN etc, and the security ramifications of the chosen access method as well as other pros and cons. I tried cloudflare tunnels but wasn’t confident about how secure it was. VPN on the other hand drains the phone battery and needs to wake up when unlocking the phone,
As soon as I get the opportunity to get my Pi5 here in Australia, this was what I was aiming to do ... thanks for the tutorial mate, really appreciate it!
Awesome. As a raspi-newbie I found you this weekend. I would love to see how you continue (setup) and how to sync mobile devices to the cloud. Also how to setup to have access from anywhere. Thank you again for your content.

You should do a video about keeping your nextcloud data protected and backed up in the event of a drisk failure or data breach. How to restore your instance of Nextcloud without needing to reinstall everything all over again. That would be a helpful video.
Yeah, absolutely! There are a few options. You can handle backups yourself, we also have a cool backup app that can back up to somebody else's Nextcloud instance so you can backup to your friend's Nextcloud instance and vice-versa. Another option is the built in Borg backup in the AIO docker image - another recommendation.

Hi Don Good video thanks. What would be useful is how best to connect to a NextCloud server that is hosted on a private lan from the outside world. Paul
The problem with that is it's not a one size fits all video as there's many things that will be specific to your situation, depending on what your ISP is, and what your router is. Some are capable of enabling the things needed and others outright block them from happening. The basic steps are: 1) find out if your ISP will let you have a static IP. It's not essential but makes things easier. Some ISPs will just enable it if you ask, some will charge extra and some won't offer it at all, and some still will actively block external connections from coming in to home servers. 1a) if you don't get a static address, you need to set up a dynamic IP forwarding service which involves an account with a dyndns provider and a client on your server. It's not tricky but is extra config 1b) if you get a static IP address you can buy a domain name to point to that address like owncloud.myawesomedomain.me Or something 😂 3) once all that is in place you need full access to your router. Some ISPs provide their routers fully locked down making this step impossible without replacing it with your own kit (also a good idea anyway TBH) 4) You need to make the IP address of the OwnCloud server either fully static or "sorta static" where a specific address is allocated or reserved for that specific machine. The server thinks it has a dynamic address but every time it requests one it always gets the same one. 5) In your router settings you need to do "port forwarding" which allows incoming connections from the outside internet to route to the owncloud server on your LAN. Which ports you forward will depend on what services you want to expose. You set the port on the outside (let's say for example port 80 for a web page port) to go from incoming port 80 on the router to forward to port 80 on the IP address of the server on your LAN. More extensive guides on this can be found just by searching for "network port forwarding". The concept is the same if you're forwarding an owncloud server or an enterprise web server.
for me the connection to the Maria DB doesn't work, I recreated all the Containers with the template but everytime im in nextcloud an want to create the Admin user for Nexcloud and want to connect to the DB, this error appears. Error while trying to create admin user: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occurred in the driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1130] Host 'nextcloud.nextcloud_default' is not allowed to connect to this MariaDB server
I run nextcloud on my main server. Array protected and backed up. Pi nextcloud server is a fun idea but data easily lost. Not having sd card storage on phones nowadays I use nextcloud to automatically upload all my pictures and videos to my server at home and delete them from my phone. Saves a ton of room!
Why easily lost? You can RAID mirror disks, backup to multiple sources and even back into the cloud if you wanted to. Beats the objective I know but that's what I'm doing until I get everything bedded in and working smoothly, Would be interested to know how you automaticall upload your data from your phone. If you care to share. Thx
@declanheerey3776 it's in the nextcloud app settings. Video doesn't work well though. Something to do with the way the phone records. For pictures it work well.
@-Professor-Finesser- as much as you give it. I have a 40tb server. I can add more drives if I need to. My nextcloud doesn't take up much. Maybe 1 or 2 tb

man, this brings me back to your old original video of the pi with nextcloud. i ended up decommisioning it because back then the ethernet was too slow, which required a faster usb ethernet dongle and the processing speed was just not there. but in this case in present day, the pi5 with a proper case is not out yet, so feels more like this is how we will plan to proceed when the time comes for it. looks promising in that way. but overall, i would probably go with a non-pi more powerful nas for a cloud storage, but still lots of potential with the pi 5 for other lower power tasks.
The only reason I haven't converted to nextcloud is because pictures with large file sizes were not available as a preview. Just curious if you have that issue?
Hi Don, many thx from Germany. All went well. Do you have some additional guide for fixing the 11 lines of warning in the general settings of nc28? Some of the are pretty tricky within a container. Would help a lot of folks.
Awesome video mate! I've been using Nextcloud for a while now with my Rasbperry Pi 400. Only problem facing is when I try to backup and recover my Nextcloud database to another OS/device (bullseye/bookworm, Pi4/Pi5), the sync gets slow after. It'll great if you can make a video and talk about this. Would also like to see if you using any other "Contacts" app to sync with your phone contacts. Cheers budd👍

Quick Question: Once Next Cloud is installed on the Pi can the program run with no Internet connection, just a local network connection? Or does it need the Internet... Great Video!
One thing you have not mentioned is the redundancy and backup. If your drive fails I believe all is gone, right? You can't access anything and even if you have a backup somewhere, you can't do anything with your backup files until you have replaced your drive and restored the data on it. With other paid platform such as Google, Microsoft, etc, you don't have to worry about redundancy. Backing up, yes, as this is your own responsibility, but your data will always be available. So you need to set up your multiple drives storage with redundancy RAID or ZFS, preferably during the initial steps as it might be a nightmare to do after a year of use... Your wife will not be happy if your drive crashes and she can't have access to her photos... But as a good IT guy (and hubby!), you do have all the backups, right? hahaha
Yup backing up is one of the most important things, this might not be the ideal setup since it's only 1 drive but all the data is backed up to another nas and cold storage. I value my life too much to not back up her photos. 🤣
Please help! at first, Great video, simple and easy tutorial for a beginner like me. I followed this video and setup my own Nextcloud server on my old laptop but I am facing a problem with my nextcloud, if I upload a large file it completes the upload but at the end it shows "error when assembling chunks code 504" error and the file doesnt show up until I refresh the page after some seconds. I am using Dietpi as OS and Portrainer as you have showed and cloudflare tunnel to host on the internet to share files.
I have been thinking about installing nextcloud at home. The question that I have is can I access the nextcloud outside my network. Example if I am on vacation will I be able to save my photos to nextcloud without jumping through hoops. Something about how easy it is to view my plex server?
Hello Don, great video as usually. Could I ask you what is the maximum capacity of storage for NextCloud and what is maximum number of HDD? (i.e. If I have a USB HUB(10 disks) with own power i.e. I-TEC or Orico and disks with own power and I connect 6 HDD with kapacity 6TB/per one HDD (36TB toegether) i.e. Western Digital Desktop 6TB - Will be NextCloud OK with this setup?) I ask because I tried OMV 5.0(Open media vault) and I connected there 4 HDD with capacity 6TB, 5TB, 3TB and 2TB and in OMV I saw all four HDD but via network i did not see last one (2TB HDD) ... Thank you very much for your answer.
There's no maximum storage capacity for Nextcloud - of course, if you put in 10 billion files and 100Petabyte of data you want CPU, database and ram resources to match 🙈
I've always had a problem with the CONFIG file for making it web facing.... there doesn't seem to have alot of instructions with examples out there... I have yet to get it to work from inside, to outside
@@NovaspiritTech wow thanks, no rush, but that would be a good video, I'm sure tons of people are stuck there... I use cloudshare(d) to expose... I'm not as good as you building things but I sure try !!... or maybe you make it look easy with the power of editing :)..
Great video, love you videos. One question, did you ever tried to install native, without docker? I have everything native, even nextcloud office, coolwsd running native and i can tell you the snapiness is way way better compared with docker also updating eveything is easier using just the repositories.
@@su1ka yes, even collabora online, installed in native linux, not using the integrated one in nextcloud nor docker. And i can tell, it is much much snappier on a i3 NUC (7th gen) and 16GB of ram.
Very good video, but the problem is the same as other videos.. this is a storege and for this reason you need a backup, when you will do a video on how backup in easy way all the data on nextcloud?
A tip: with the AIO docker container (easiest way to install Nextcloud) we include Borg Backup making it SUPER easy to do a regular backup. Just point it to a folder and tell it to do, say, daily incremental backups. If that folder is a NAS you mounted in, for example, you are done! We also have the Nextcloud Backup app which allows you to backup to another nextcloud instance. Say, put one at a friend's place, and you and your friend can backup to each other's instance! Hope it helps.
@@AndrewSpec Hmmm, AiO should really be the fastest possible... We do have some big performance work coming in our next release (just a few more months, stay tuned) but the hardware might also be the issue. Nextcloud does a lot, and the Docker eats quite some ram - if you get low, it becomes slow. We do our absolute best to keep it light but it's difficult.
i will be making a deep dive video into hosing from a dynamic network. but for the mean time to answer your question your can either make a self signed cert or use letsencrypt
Please, an indepth video on how you use Nextcloud would be awesome

Does it do off-site backups? Where if a HDD dies I still got my data or in case of a malware attack and the HDD gets encrypted.
At the same price point of the Pi5, for a nextcloud server, a miniPC is a LOT better.
Low power draw saves money in long run. These servers are 24/7
I agree. But for non media playback, just storage, the pi 5 will do great.
I'm going to build a similar device using the new minisforum ryzen PC.

yea collabora is the only one on arm64 right now
Hi. Thank you very much for the great video !
Do you think using Docker (not FOSS) is better than using Podman (FOSS) for SOHO usage?
And would you do a PODMAN video, and benchmark one vs other?
Hey Sir, is there a way I can grab the compose file??
Quick Question: Once Next Cloud is installed on the Pi can the program run with no Internet connection, just a local network connection? Or does it need the Internet... Great Video!
Depending on how you install it, Nextcloud can run fully in your own local network, absolutely!
It's saying "access through untrusted domain" when i tried log in from my phone.
Thanks Don.
Where is your link for pi 4 nextcloud build? Can you post it here or in description? 0:19
you can do the same with a pi4, followed this exact video for mine.
One thing you have not mentioned is the redundancy and backup.
If your drive fails I believe all is gone, right? You can't access anything and even if you have a backup somewhere, you can't do anything with your backup files until you have replaced your drive and restored the data on it.
With other paid platform such as Google, Microsoft, etc, you don't have to worry about redundancy. Backing up, yes, as this is your own responsibility, but your data will always be available.
So you need to set up your multiple drives storage with redundancy RAID or ZFS, preferably during the initial steps as it might be a nightmare to do after a year of use...
Your wife will not be happy if your drive crashes and she can't have access to her photos... But as a good IT guy (and hubby!), you do have all the backups, right? hahaha
Yup backing up is one of the most important things, this might not be the ideal setup since it's only 1 drive but all the data is backed up to another nas and cold storage. I value my life too much to not back up her photos. 🤣
Please help! at first, Great video, simple and easy tutorial for a beginner like me. I followed this video and setup my own Nextcloud server on my old laptop but I am facing a problem with my nextcloud, if I upload a large file it completes the upload but at the end it shows "error when assembling chunks code 504" error and the file doesnt show up until I refresh the page after some seconds. I am using Dietpi as OS and Portrainer as you have showed and cloudflare tunnel to host on the internet to share files.
How do i add trusted Domains, with this installation? Can i do it post installation or do i need to start again?
Does the Pi 5 requires to setup USB boot like the Pi 4 did or it finds the system off the USB drive on it's own?
find the system on it's own, if your pi 4 doesn't do this, you will need to update your firmware
I have been thinking about installing nextcloud at home. The question that I have is can I access the nextcloud outside my network. Example if I am on vacation will I be able to save my photos to nextcloud without jumping through hoops. Something about how easy it is to view my plex server?
Easy. In the same way you opened a port on your router for Plex, you can do the same for Nextcloud.
Please do the office addon. I would enjoy finding a way to self host the things I use from Google.
which os do you use this video?
Hello Don, great video as usually. Could I ask you what is the maximum capacity of storage for NextCloud and what is maximum number of HDD? (i.e. If I have a USB HUB(10 disks) with own power i.e. I-TEC or Orico and disks with own power and I connect 6 HDD with kapacity 6TB/per one HDD (36TB toegether) i.e. Western Digital Desktop 6TB - Will be NextCloud OK with this setup?) I ask because I tried OMV 5.0(Open media vault) and I connected there 4 HDD with capacity 6TB, 5TB, 3TB and 2TB and in OMV I saw all four HDD but via network i did not see last one (2TB HDD) ... Thank you very much for your answer.
There's no maximum storage capacity for Nextcloud - of course, if you put in 10 billion files and 100Petabyte of data you want CPU, database and ram resources to match 🙈
I've always had a problem with the CONFIG file for making it web facing.... there doesn't seem to have alot of instructions with examples out there... I have yet to get it to work from inside, to outside
i'll work on putting something together, there was a few hurdles i had to figure out in my own network too cause of loopback issues
@@NovaspiritTech wow thanks, no rush, but that would be a good video, I'm sure tons of people are stuck there... I use cloudshare(d) to expose... I'm not as good as you building things but I sure try !!... or maybe you make it look easy with the power of editing :)..
Great video, love you videos. One question, did you ever tried to install native, without docker? I have everything native, even nextcloud office, coolwsd running native and i can tell you the snapiness is way way better compared with docker also updating eveything is easier using just the repositories.
hey, did you setup everything manually? asking because I'm using AIO version and it's very easy to install and manage from one dashboard
@@su1ka yes, even collabora online, installed in native linux, not using the integrated one in nextcloud nor docker. And i can tell, it is much much snappier on a i3 NUC (7th gen) and 16GB of ram.
great! have you got stl to print faceplate please ?
Followed your process on a brand new Pi5. At 8:04 I get "Failure - unable to retrieve templates".. Any ideas?
didn't put the right link into the template area.
how to open office files uploaded on nextcloud without downloading ?
planning to install on top of windows 11 server.. not sure, how good it will be............. i was fan of nextcloudpi... it is not working now...
Very good video, but the problem is the same as other videos.. this is a storege and for this reason you need a backup, when you will do a video on how backup in easy way all the data on nextcloud?
A tip: with the AIO docker container (easiest way to install Nextcloud) we include Borg Backup making it SUPER easy to do a regular backup. Just point it to a folder and tell it to do, say, daily incremental backups. If that folder is a NAS you mounted in, for example, you are done! We also have the Nextcloud Backup app which allows you to backup to another nextcloud instance. Say, put one at a friend's place, and you and your friend can backup to each other's instance!
Hope it helps.
Which Linux you are using?
I can’t get to the url mininextcloud. Could I be on a different port?
its your raspberry's host name "mininextcloud" is what his raspberry was called. if you open terminal its after the @
I'm waiting for a DeskPi Lite for the Raspberry Pi 5...
I'd like to see how it works when it has a lot of files. I moved my Synology NAS to TrueNAS + NextCloud and it works like shit. It's so slow....
are you running on sqlite?
What is the problem? Why is it so slow?
@@NovaspiritTech I'm using the AiO container with PostgreSQL
@@electronicstv5884every page reload is slow. I've tested FileCloud and that's fast. If you compare them by speed than NextCloud is like shit.
@@AndrewSpec Hmmm, AiO should really be the fastest possible... We do have some big performance work coming in our next release (just a few more months, stay tuned) but the hardware might also be the issue. Nextcloud does a lot, and the Docker eats quite some ram - if you get low, it becomes slow. We do our absolute best to keep it light but it's difficult.
Ok this is local, how can I host this on dynamic ip and also I am getting https not secure issue so how can we overcome this issue?
i will be making a deep dive video into hosing from a dynamic network. but for the mean time to answer your question your can either make a self signed cert or use letsencrypt
@@NovaspiritTech ok and how to apply that signed encrypt cert on this local nextcloud server?
How update Nexcloud on Docker-Portainer ?
ahah i'm working on that video now, but if you want a quick start you can press the "recreate" button from portainer from nextcloud container
Yes do more
Nice and to the point, have a subscribe.
Does anybody else have the error message that they can't install apps because it would make the server unstable?
I like the music player app on next c
really? i never tested it... i prob should now
