nextcloud

Hi!

I'd like to move my self hosted Nextcloud to a professional hoster.

I'm using it for photos, contacts, shared calendars and todo lists.

Photos, contacts and todo lists shouldn't be a problem I guess (just re-upload) but what account calendars - is there a way to migrate them including full history of events and all future events? Or is this included in the ICS file anyway?

Is there a best practice to migrate from self hosted to hosted?

Thanks a lot!

I've been looking at alternatives to Google Workspace / Office 365 for SME / non-profits.

Broadly I have been searching for something that allows an organisation to use their own domain, includes email and nextcloud hosting and a mechanism to manage users/email addresses for the organisation.

In my ideal solution alongside an email server we would have access to a cloud hosted LDAP server/instance to manage users passwords and permissions and then administrators would be able to spin up instances of applications such as Nextcloud, Wordpress, CiviCRM and other Open source applications as a service.

I used the list of Hosting Providers on the Nexcloud website alongside the following list I found - https://github.com/thetuxinator/nextcloud_providers?tab=readme-ov-file

As yet we haven't made any decisions but created a shortlist of providers to consider: These include:

https://cloud68.co/managed-hosting/nextcloud https://www.stackhero.io/en/services/Nextcloud/pricing https://cloud.ionos.co.uk/solutions/nextcloud#packages https://www.commonscloud.coop/advanced-office/ https://www.federated.computer/pricing/ https://brixly.uk/email-hosting-with-nextcloud-

None of these seem perfect (I suspect that plenty of have some proprietary components in there (their own User provisioning and billing components )

I'm not sure any of these are perfect. I've also been looking at https://docs.coopcloud.tech/intro/strategy/ which appears to be aiming to provide mechanism to deliver such services for organisations on top of Baremetal / Cloud Compute and Storage. (Though this doesn't appear to include email and LDAP at the moment) I can see these would be natural extensions.

I'm also looking to see to what degree this could be achieved using Web Hosting Services (Cpanel now supports creating sub-users that can be configured to access to email, ftp and web storage but I am not sure whether their credentials can be used for single signon for Web Applications running on your account such as WordPress and NextCloud. I need to look at the other major WebHosting Provisioning systems such as ( I think Plesk is one)

I am running two basically identical Nextcloud instances. They were both installed with Yunohost. They both are on NC version 29.0.7 (latest available for Yunohost). One is on a computer at my house for personal use, one is on a VPS for my job. Just today I noticed that I can no longer edit any contacts at all on the one for work. My personal instance I can still edit contacts. Can anyone help me figure this out?

I'm currently running a Nextcloud instance in docker, using the "multiple containers" method, but I recently discovered that the reccomended method to run it is using this "All In One" image I previously didn't know about, and so I wanted to try to migrate to that setup (also in order to have easily also the office and whiteboard features that atm I don't have on my instance + have easier Backup-restore process)

The problem is that on my server I'm using traefik as a reverse proxy to expose services to the internet, and it is working on a specific docker network (called traefik_net) where also every container that should be exposed is connected, and from the official documentation of Nextcloud AIO I really don't understand how am I supposed to configure it to work in a setup like mine (mainly because the mastercontainer creates all the containers it needs on a network called nextcloud_aio and I didn't find a way to change that and where to set the proper traefik lables)

Anyone that is running AIO behind a traefik reverse proxy maybe can help me to understand?

Hey, folks, I'm new to this side of things, and I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I just signed up 5tb of storage through Hetzner's storage share, using nextcloud. I like it so far, but I'm running into an issue. I figured out how to make multiple users, but I don't know how to (or if I can) restrict different users to specific folders. We're broke, so this is going to be shared between me, my mom, my brother, and my sister in law. If it's possible, I'd like to create a folder for each of us, and restrict access to that folder to just that person. I don't want to be able to see what's in my brother's folder, and I don't want my mom seeing what's in mine, et cetera. I've tried to google it and look it up on youtube, but most of what I can find isn't related, and if it is, it's a bunch of technospeak that I don't really understand about self-hosting, which I'm not doing. If it's possible, it would be cool to have a central shared folder as well, but we could just share links with each other when we want to share something if needed.

Any help is really appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I currently have a drive mounted into a folder in nextcloud/data/username/files/media but it doesn't show the contents of the drive the nextcloud gui.

EDIT: The solution is the "External storage support" app, which ist for some reason disabled by default.

Hi there,

I hope someone here can help me with the 404 error I've been getting on Nextcloud for some months now. The error seems to be related to the rich documents app, but I have not encountered any issues with editing documents in NC, so I haven't made investigating a priority earlier. I have nextcloud running in the /nextxloud subdirectory of my server, but the app seems to think that it's in /nextcloud/nextcloud. See the detailed error below. I assume it's a setting that I accidentally messed up, but I cannot find anything in the app settings or the NC config file that helps me. I hope one of the people with more experience than me here has an idea on how to fix this. Thanks in advance.

They pulled an Apple as Nextcloud can sometimes implode

I installed NextCloud previously and it sucked. Most of it, in my mind was down to how slow and clunky it felt. I came here and people said the default installation can be like that, so I kinda just left things alone, determined that I would eventually come back and sort things.

Fast forward to now and my system has matured enough, well at least enough that I've installed Postgres and can access it via Adminer.

So I clear out all my directories, delete the container and decide it's time to reinstall NextCloud. Simple right? Wrong! It's telling me that I have the wrong username and password.

I asked for some help and someone said, don't give any app default access and that's fair and then they pointed me to the docs. The docs said to do some shit I didn't understand really. But from what I could gather, essentially open the console and run a command.

Problem! Every time I try and open the console for the container, it says it can't read the image details. Okay, let's work around that then. I open up Adminer and via SQL command run:

CREATE USER nextcloud WITH PASSWORD 'R4ND0MP4SS' CREATEDB;
CREATE DATABASE nextcloud TEMPLATE template0 ENCODING 'UTF8';
ALTER DATABASE nextcloud OWNER TO nextcloud;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE nextcloud TO nextcloud;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON SCHEMA public TO nextcloud;

I actually manage to log into Adminer with said details. NextCloud on the other hand is telling me that the username and/or password is incorrect. What am I doing wrong?

As the title asks, what apps are you running?

Also do you have your data on your host machine or on your main storage/NAS?

Last question, is it just my set-up or is NextCloud slow for everyone?

I don't know if I'm stupid or if NextCloud's instructions are stupid, it's probably me and subsequently I'm struggling.

For all of my Docker stuff, I move the config directory to my opt folder with a simple

    volumes:
     - /opt/APPNAME/config:/config

And generally have the data on a remote drive like

    - music:/music

volumes: 
  music: 
    driver_opts:
      type: "nfs"
      o: "addr=192.168.X.XXX,nolock,soft,rw"
      device: ":/mnt/HD/Public/Shared Music"

This works perfectly for everything and I'm generally pleased with how things run. But NextCloud is throwing a bunch of words at me and I don't get it. Why can't it be as simple as what I'm already doing? Why do I have to declare

    environment
      - NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR=
      - NEXTCLOUD_MOUNT=

And why is it pointing me to? https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-store-the-filesinstallation-on-a-separate-drive

Which just points you to https://www.guguweb.com/2019/02/07/how-to-move-docker-data-directory-to-another-location-on-ubuntu/

I'm looking at this Docker Compose like...

NextCloudPi was so simple to set up. If not for being stuck on v25, I'd have been happy with it. 🥺

It points to an x86 image

Which version do you have installed and what do you use your installation for?

I'm trying out Nextcloud to use as on my home server. It looks great, but seems way overkill for just two users that really only want the file sync. capability.

As I'm reading I'm seeing references to WebDAV and it seems that the Nextcloud file sync. server might be "just" a WebDAV server? If it is, might it be possible to point the Nextcloud sync. client (on Windows and Android) at an appropriately configured Apache or nginx server?

The reason I'm asking here, rather than just trying for myself, is that I have no experience with WebDAV and have no idea what an appropriately configured server might mean in this situation. I'm happy to go do the required learning to make it work - just looking for someone to tell me it's not possible before I put too much effort into it.

I have a self hosted installation here which is running v23 something, according to version.php. Is there an upgrade path to the latest version?

I want to set up a server on an old laptop at home to synchronize my Obsidian notes and some pdfs. I'll install Nextcloud AIO but I have a question about domain.

Do I need to buy a domain name for the sync to work properly? I created a dynamic dns account on Noip but I don't know if this is a temporary solution or permanent?

If the domain is necessary, is it enough to just buy a domain or do I need to buy a hosting package or something?

I have a potentially dumb question, but honestly I've run out of ideas. I'm running a family nextcloud instance where me and my wife are managing our things, in our own boards. She noticed that cards that she put in her "Done" stack in a board of hers, are deleted after about a year. I have to emphasize:

• She does not delete the cards (they hold important information, even though they are Done)
• She does not even archive them

All she does is she moves them to a stack. First off, this is a problem, as she's losing information (I'm now restoring old database backups to get back old Deck cards, not a fun activity in itself). But second, this bugs the hell out of me: is there any functionality that would do this in Nextcloud? Some hidden setting? I'm even thinking possible user error, but she's quite tech savvy and I believe her when she says she does not do this knowingly...

Also important to highlight that I have cards from 2 years ago in my boards that are just fine, no deletion, nothing. And nothing in the logs, althgough I don't even know what I'm looking for, because we aren't sure when the deletion happened.

Any idea/pointer would be highly appreciated.
