Thanks Jay. Not many creators would go into this level of detail in an over 1 hour long video. It's always great to see the end-to-end steps described vs a turnkey or bare install without post-setup steps.

Thank you for providing an updated version. Used your last video and setup mine with no problem! Love all the detail. Keep up the great work!

[mpxz]

Thank you!!
I love your content and really appreciate all the detail and examples you carefully plan for each video. I can actually follow along with your videos without rewinding and hitting pause every 10 seconds.

You're awesome~ thank youu

Hey Jay, just wanted to say thanks, this video is on point. I messed up my next cloud months ago when I tried to install certbot. You have cleared that up now and made it clear with your instructions. Thank you.

[laszlokosa]

That was awesome video! I've finished setting up my nextcloud a few moment earlier, and it is fantastic! Thank you, Jay!

Great Tutorial and it came exactly when needed. I just set up an old HP Elitedesk Mini to run proxmox and migrated my nextcloud from my trusty RPI4 to an Ubuntu LXC. Only problem I had was the usage of the certbot snap, because with proxmox the usage of snaps is not as good as it should be. Installed the "apt" version and it all works like a charme right now.

I literally watched your previous setup guide 2 days ago and got mine setup in Linode and I am still watching this.

Wow, this is my first video from you. The audio recording is great. Your voice is very clear. The content is phenomenal. I am pumped to keep learning. I setup NextCloud in AWS with Snap. I am going to start again the way you just explained it in this video. Thanks!

What an excellent presentation! Wish I had this to reference months ago! I ended up with a Truenas setup with Plex, Nextcloud so far but your detailed explanation, examples and flow are excellent! You got a new follower Jay!

[zerotheory]

Ohh i've been looking for a reason to do the deep dive into NextCloud. Thank you so much for this video bro!

[teomcam]

Have you read my mind 😂 yesterday morning I followed your a year old tutorial and installed successfully with a few issues only. I’ll follow this video this morning from scratch 👍🏻 Thank you sir

[cjwworld]

Hey, I just wanted to comment on your tutorial. I'm a newbie at Linux and quite honestly, I've tried about 4 times to get a working Nextcloud Server based on other YouTubers and I was successful once but it wouldn't go to HTTPS. however, your tutorial was very understandable and of course, I had to go back a few steps, but you were very good at explaining things that I could be victorious in setting this up. Thanks a lot. For me, I am hosting my own server at home.. thanks a bunch

[swayamshree]

thanks for making this update. I can't emphasize how much your previous tutorial has helped me.

[MarkVP]

Great video. I know a lot of this stuff but not off the top of my head. I really enjoy your videos and you explain things so well. Keep up the great work, it helps.

As usual, another excellent and highly informative video on Nextcloud. Jay, you are one of my favorites! Thank you!

[helioradial]

Jay, video is spot on ! Thank you so much for it. When I am going to start setting up my homelab this is going to be my first project defo. Well done and thank you.

[fidelty]

Thank you for not sticking your face on the screen while sharing it unlike other obnoxious tech guides. I do find it hard to locate your mouse pointer but still the best content out there.

[dartsmendnepr]

Thanks for the video.
Everything was pretty clear.
I like when admin tell how it should be configured properly.
Most of tutorials skip lots important things about updates, security.

[quintalcent]

Like always Jay ! Very awesome video ! Thank you so much !

[TradersTradingEdge]

Superb walk through Jay. Thanks so much! 🖖
