There it is! Thanks for making this one man! Going to follow it one to one, like I did with the old tutorial, which worked out great back then! You are a server hero man!

in germany your name is now "Ehrenmann"... thank you i had many struggle to install Nextcloud to Apache. Your solution worked now

[mathematicalninja]

I love you. Docker Failed. Snap failed. Your method worked.

[harmannagra]

Thank u so much for explaining everything, I saw 100 videos but no one explained like u. Thanks again

[janot]

i struggled to set this up for so long... always got stuck on the admin setup with the truenas plugin. But now it's working. Thanks!

This is the best tutorial in YT, easy to follow and real world setup step by step, right into the potins no waste time. If you don't agree, post the link here. haha

Thanks for making the tutorial. I've gone in circles doing a OMV-NCP installs on a PI 4, as well as OMV-NCP on a desktop computer. This Ubuntu installation seems the best of all of them. As for the tutorial, it covered just about everything that I had hoped that it would cover with the exception of some of the External Storage mapping. From a NC post, I found that apt-get install smbclient took care of the default SMB / CIFS problem, and I would guess that you'd want to address this issue considering the need to do samba sharing. It would be nice if you added some content or links to how you do Ubuntu drive networking or mounting in this Ubuntu/Nextcloud build. Also, it would be great if you added some of the DNS setup stuff. These settings are vexing and enigmatic to those of us that are not doing IT for a living. ;) Thanks, -Andrew

The timing on this video could not have been better (was just about to get my head around nextcloud) 👍🏻

[snipegod]

Thank you that really helpful but do you not need to change any database configurations aswell

[indigo]

OCP\HintException: [0]: Memcache \OC\Memcache\APCu not available for local cache (Is the matching PHP module installed and enabled?)

[jwells]

I would appreciate a guide on setting up Ubuntu and nextcloud on an SSD and then have my data stored on a two Raid hard drives.

[markstanchin]

Thanks for this I like that you explain each command and what it does and why ect. Thats huge!

[mirafu]

Thank you for your great tutorial! What I am missing: how do I embed my own domain so that it works? What do I have to consider? (Port shares, certbot etc.) In addition: how do I set up that it redirects directly to https?

[danieldewindt]

Grate tutorial. Finaly a clear and complete explanation 😃
Thanks

[stephencrescenti]

Absolutely amazing and concise tutorial! Great job and Thank you!

[Yofud]

I think you could've elaborated on the "setting up a static local IP address" section more. Is the server machine on my router/network the current ubuntu build we are configuring used in the video? Or is that something configured in another video? I set the DNS to static on my router and machines that I'm using for Cloudfare. But I don't see the GUI that you have on that section. Please advise.

Thanks for the tutorial! I am getting a "The PHP module "imagick" is not enabled although the theming app is. For favicon generation to work correctly, you need to install and enable this module." warning, I've tried removing imagemagick-6-common and php-imagick and then installing imagemagick and php-imagick again, but that didn't change anything

[kote]

Thank you. I've set up nextcloud several times in different ways (mostly using nextcloudpi), but your video was still very helpful. I have now set up nextcloud (on debian), subdomains, reverse proxy and ssl. I think a lot of users have noticed that the performance out of the box is not very high. Maybe you can make a video on how to fix this? I installed php-fpm and tweaked the settings for myself; looks like it got better. Also, many users may have problems with large files, it would be great to talk about this topic as well.

[DBrianAshby]

Really good job you really helped out a lot on those security fixes!
