Nextcloud: Complete Setup Guide

Nextcloud is a powerful open-source alternative to proprietary cloud app offerings, and in this video the viewer is walked through the entire setup process. This process has been tested on Debian, Ubuntu, as well as Raspberry Pi OS. By the end of the video, you'll have a Nextcloud installation of your very own!

This is the best linux channel that i have been subscribed. Jay, your explanations are excelent.

[jenshaustedt]

HUGE thank you for this excellent tutorial. Especially thank you for your calm and unagitated voice and presentation, thank you for NOT using any exciting music.

[takakazushi]

HUGE thank you. Excellent tutor. Me? So so student. 1) Had a hard time not registering, but CONFIGURING my Domain and setting up/LINKING RECORD A and registration between the domain manager and Linode. 2) Missed your KEYword about hitting CTL to get out of MariaDB...so was stuck inside Maria for a while 3) LOVED the fact you warned us BEFORE you pressed ENTER...so I could pause the video and double check my typing/syntax. You've hooked me. I will NEED to get your book to make sure I keep my Next Cloud up and running and keep you up and running. Took all day to set this up today...and I'm now officially BEAT. Need some rest. Thank you again.

You're reading our minds man - superb timing!!

[MDTechTutorials]

I have been using nextcloud for almost 2 years now. I built my own server and its so nice.

[krackpot_]

Very timely. Appreciate the step by step explanation and not telling people to use docker or snap. Much easier to see what is happening under the hood and troubleshoot. Great video, keep em coming!

First of all, great video, I find it is quite the improvement over your previous one!! I just Re-installed my nextcloud instance two weeks ago with your old tutorial. It took me a while to get the correct cache setup. While you include setting up Cache in this tutorial, what about a video that explains the difference between the different options. I, for example, followed the advice that I could find on the Internet and used both redis and APCu. I don't really know why that is supposedly the superior setup, and I don't really understand much of the technical details of the Cache. I think a well researched explanation by you would help a lot of people. (it is one of the only topics that I don't really find intuitive to understand, compared to the rest of nextcloud which is super simple and straightforward)

[AbuFaizal]

Nowadays, I am a big fan of this channel. your all contents are massive

[TubeKens]

Clear and precise. Great work Jay! I own a copy of your book "Mastering Ubuntu Server 2nd edition" and it helps make my server setup flawless. Keep up the good work and thanks.

[thomzwiefler]

After watching most of your guides ans videos I realized that sometimes I just watch your stuff To bask in The absurd amount of wholesomeness that radiates from your Being. When open source AI Smart devices become a thing I know who's voice I'm gonna use. 😅

[jecolonusa]

Thank You, I have nextcloud now running on my Raspberry Pi 4. AMAZING VIDEO. I have purchased your book from amazon as well.

[williambuckner]

I'm a little late to the party, but thank you very much for this tutorial! Especially the security bit at the end. The instructions were very clear and helped me to secure my NextCloud instance over the web!

[leonpinto]

Fantastic tutorial... Blindly followed the instructions and the system was up and ready with SSL... Great work !!!

[Sladen]

Hi Jay, I just recieved your book a few days ago. Thank you for contributing to my interest in linux.

[dwrout]

Thanks Jay, I used your tutorial to install onto an LXC on my home server, took some time to iron out a few security issues but now get A+ from the nexcloud security check. I have been working flawsly now for a couple of weeks and going through sorting out which of the nextcloud apps are useful. Thanks again great tutorial (as always)

[rico]

Great video, I'm running my self hosted nextcloud for two years now, but it's awesome to see a tutorial from beginning till the tls. Maybe an idea for a nextcloud video would be to show how to move all the data and databases from one server to another and some backup options. Great work

[gregoryturner]

Absolutely one of your best tutorials. Thanks, Jay.

[markring]

Thank you Jay! I've been trying all summer to get nextcloud installed. I should have started with watching your video. It's great! I also ordered your new book. It arrives from Amazon tomorrow. I'm looking forward to learning more.

[guyrenaud]

Wow thanks i like the step by step approche with variants very concise will now be a member for ever and ever!

[christophejournoud]

Hi Jay,
By far the best tutorial that i have seen or read about installing nextcloud. Thanks a lot
