I cannot thank you enough for this fantastic tutorial. I now have NextCloud running on my own hardware at home and it's sensational.

Great channel, bought merchandise too. Setup is manageable. It's keeping all the updates correctly, and backups and restoring that is the challenge

[roadkill]

Great tutorial. I used CasaOS and installed NextCloud as a container from their "app store" then access it from outside the network via Tailscale. It was a lot easier and within my scope plus no domain name needed. Without a guide like yours I would be completely lost trying to install NC as a standalone. I always learn something new from your videos, thanks!

[jasonvanwyngaard]

I've used many of your tutorials to prepare for this installation, you are the master. Thank you.

[Kanalabonnierer]

Thank you for your great work. I learned so much about Linux.

[DiegoGZorrilla]

Amazing tutorial, works great. Thank you

[weholmes]

Perfect timing! Setting up Nextcloud is my fun project for this weekend (after backing up my NAS). Let's

[orodimusprime]

I always use your tutorials when installing nextcloud! also always wondered why nextcloud comes installed with errors out of the box

[replicant]

This is great tutorial, Jay. If you don't mind, I would like to request another chapter. Can you make a tutorial on how to automate this process with Ansible and/or Terraform? So that you can build immutable artefact and deploy it to the cloud provider?

An excellent tutorial, as usual! I rarely find tutorials on YT as detailed and well explained.

Curious what you recommend for background jobs. I changed the owner of config.php to root like you did, but learned that the cron jobs must be executed by the same user that owns config.php. Is it safe to run cron.php as root if you need cron jobs for a larger instance, or is it better to keep config.php owned by www-data in that case? Thanks for everything!!

Another tutorial about setting up nextcloud with cloudflared tunnel would be awesome sir

[dstinYwOw]

When we're on Ubuntu spree, refreshed MAAS setup would be awesome!
Plus, would be great to show alternative to manual setup - using snap package. I use it personally at home and works great. It automatically sets up Nextcloud, MySQL, Redis etc.

[davidbotescu]

Hey, it would be great if you could do another tour of your office and show us what you use on a daily basis.

[lambscaped]

Thankyou so much for your content, and as everybody is saying nice thumbnail, just to add it would be great if you can show how to riddle out of the cronjob error, is something that has keep me away of my nextcloud installation.

What would be the advantages of using NextCloud or CasaOS over a NAS server. I have OMV running, and I am pretty satisfied with that. However, when i was looking for an open source NAS, I stumbled upon these Cloud systems and became rather curious.

Excellent video. It's not so often that I can follow a tutorial to install a piece of software, and exactly replicate on my machine. NOTE: ignore from 33:21 to 33:45 ('chown' command missing, but fixed right after). NOTE2: at 41:20, the occ command will fail (it does not show in the video). But the fix is right after.

[fbifido]

at the end did you undo the:
1. occ executable
2. unmod the apcu.ini file

[danielstellmon]

Are there any major differences between running bare metal vs docker?

[devsiwon]

Thank you so much for this, nextcloud install through truenas scale is such a pain to setup dns/vpn...

[prymus]

Do you know when I install ubuntu 24.04LTS why it has out of the box snad and snap store update error in the app center?
