I am so happy I found your channel brother. Thank you so much for these videos! You have saved so much pain for me

[resitd.]

You are amazing! Thank you so much for your very helpful tutorials. Very informative.

[Lepelot]

Thank you very much for this video and the other Nextcloud videos you recently posted. I have been running Nextcloud on a Truenas installation for a couple of years and it all worked fine until recently when my last update failed, breaking my setup, and I am not able install the Nextcloud plugin which apparently is no longer supported. I notice you mentioned the possibility to make a video about installing Nextcloud on Truenas ... I am very much looking forward to it. Thank you in advance.

Good afternoon, after the latest NextCloud update a bug appeared: it is impossible to upload the entire folder to the server, it is only possible to upload each file separately. Please tell me how to roll back to previous versions of NextCloud?

[rkbest]

Very detailed and what I have been wanting to do for moving away from nextcloud jail. Can you make a tutorial with nextcloud aio on a vm with truenas (external) mount for data directory?

[Guavaya]

Would be nice if you can also make a video on setting up TURN server. Found steps online but would be nice if you make the video as you have been the one guiding us from beginning to the end.

[MrMako]

There is a working version of nextcloud 6 27.1.5, please tell me how to make a backup of it to restore it on another machine after the update?

[MrMako]

Thank you very much, everything is shown in great detail and with high quality. I did everything as in the video, there were no errors, but when I try to log in, the web says that the site is not accessible, I did everything on a virtual machine, I connect inside the local network, tell me how to find out which port to write by IP address?

[uquoh]

Great video, really helped me however there's a mistake on 2:00. The command on screen is wrong it should start with 'usermod', but it starts with 'usermode'.

[lightHARRY]

Really liked all your videos. Can you please make a video on how to establish cloudflare zero trust tunnel with nextcloud non snap version. I had snap version earlier but due to limitations in php editing. I recently moved to native nextcloud. I am struggling with establishing tunnel.

[IT_Evolvers]

Can you make video in integration of guacamole and windows active directory authentication?

[eliseovazquezm]

Excelent video, I really help me, no problem during the video. But, just finally, when I run the command sudo systemctl restart apache2 and see my browser, I see the message "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource." You know about that?

[Guavaya]

When will the continuation of this video be available as you mentioned at the end of this one?

[josiehuss]

Hi, i followed the entire prosess, but i cant access the website through my browser. The IP address i get when i run ip addr, doesnt work. How can i fix this or make sure i am using the right address? Thanks! :)

[Guavaya]

After watching this video. I was able to set it up correctly and successfully but my website is only accessible through VPN. Once the VPN is off, it is always saying website not reachable. What do I do?

[lukemasteri]

the file doesn't exist on mine, what should i do?

[Guavaya]

Hello boss. I have issue with my Nextcloud installation going offline every now and then. It's Currently running on the AWS EC2 Ubuntu 22.04. I have to reboot the server almost every minute to put it back online. What do you suggest I do to end this issue?

[MrMako]

Please tell me the path to the config.php file
Nextcloud writes an error when logging in:
Access through untrusted domain
Please contact your administrator. If you are an administrator, edit the "trusted_domains" setting in config/config.php like the example in config.sample.php.
Further information how to configure this can be found in the documentation.

[TomMolczynski]

Everything worked great except at the end I get this. Any ideas why?
