Nextcloud Installation Is A Snap

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.

I was literally looking at Nextcloud for syncing org files this afternoon. Thanks for the video! 👍😁

[RahSharmaFilms]

Honestly, the best video. I have had so much issues but this is the only one that works. Thanks!

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.

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.

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!!!

Thank you, this is the best install video on youtube for nextcloud snap! thanks

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

OH MY GOD my brother and i have been trying to setup nextcloud locally for hours! i hope this video works

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.

[goldibollocks]

Do I need to own the domain I’m pointing to? Like, rent it from a provider?

[jrlepage]

How do you hook up storage to NextCloud? Digital Ocean’s price for online storage seems a little pricey.

[keltonjohnson]

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 compare this with Seafile please?
