Watching this after learning that TH-cam has been deleting newer nextcloud installation videos, stating some bogus “community guidelines” reasons. I could see why. A next cloud setup may take off some Google workspace revenues, but more importantly Google wouldn’t want to throw away the enormous power they gain by having root access to another company’s data (“privacy” my a**). They certainly don’t want Nextcloud in schools as G is the defacto suite and the ability to harvest children’s behavioral data (over several years) is incredibly valuable.
Wow, George, I thought I might be the oldest novice I know, but you've got me beat by 14 years! As the saying goes, "Never stop learning!" More power to you!
I created my Nextcloud in the hard way on Debian at home. Could you do a video about how to maintain Nextcloud for security reasons. I'm not sure my server is safe, I'm just playing around with Linux@home.
I did SSL certs (I use linuxserver/swag nginx proxy manager or caddy should also work fine), change default ssh port and use identity files instead of passwords, watchtower to keep docker containers updated and automated system updates. May be others can suggest other ways to harden the Linux install.
I was thinking to have nextclown installed on a raspberry pi4 and use it as a photo backup machine, an alternative to Google photos. The last time I tried it didn't go so smoothly since the system was not that stable. Fingers crossed :)
That's what I've been using it for and it's worked well enough. It's nowhere close to Google Photos in terms of features or quality, but it's still good for a backup. My biggest gripe with Nextcloud's photo feature is that it sorts photos based on file modification date and not what's in EXIF data. This causes photos that I've edited to appear _way_ out of order which is somewhat annoying.
The annoying thing I've run in to with the Snap package is that when Canonical updates the snap (I hate not being able to do this on my own schedule), my configuration changes get reset.
So how is upgrade process in general? Do you encounter any bugs, what changes get reset? I'm genuinely curious as I just don't really see how the snap would make the update any easier. Nextcloud updates are mostly annoying and don't come without problems...
8:26 I have installed Nextcloud inside Umbrel and when I run the trusted domain command, I get "sudo: nextcloud.occ: command not found". Any idea how I can add a trusted domain using Nextcloud inside Umbrel?
Hello there. Just looking forward to deploy nexcloud on my home server. Just have some question. I'm gonna use raid 1 drives and wondering how can I setup nextcloud to use specific storage on my server. Thanks for any advice.
Maybe you could post a link to your video of the Ubuntu Server install and config in the description of this video? I searched through your videos on your channel and couldn't find it. Help me out here.
Thanks for the tutorial! Is it possible to share files with simple links, from a local self hosted nextcloud server, without setting up a domain and exposing ports/nextcloud service to the internet or using a vpn tunnel? If not is it possible to at least expose a part of nextcloud responsive for the link sharing and nothing more than that? E.g the login interface or any other sensitive subdirectory?
Hi, great tutorial! I have a problem though. All was working perfectly until I enabled HTTPS. I could connect with Domain name though Cloudflare and then once SSL/HTTPS was turned on, nothing. I also have another domain through DuckDNS and that would not work, nor would using my public IP. Any ideas what went wrong? Also when I connect with Local IP is comes up not secure with https crossed out in red (Google Chrome)
I mean you could follow the steps on a local server. You'd need to setup a reserve proxy for SSL and your domain. Also if your IP is dynamic you'd need a service like No-IP
the big difference is that you host, control, and manage everything no one has access to your data but you. Google one you pay to use their software, Nextcloud is great if you care about privacy and have time to deal with everything.
@@theitguy6652 ohh okay thank you for your explanation but let's keep privacy aside for a second, in terms of price won't hosting your be expensive compared to just using Google one, Microsoft OneDrive or something similar? Not trying to say hosting is bad but, just curious?
@@c2p-cmd yes is more expensive to host your own server than paying for Onedrive or Google. For example, if you use linode you are gonna pay at least $10/month for 50gb, in the other hand you can pay $1.99 for 100gb on either Onedrive or Google. in conclusion all comes down to privacy, at least on my opinion. If you own some hardware you spend some time an setup everything for free, but then this will cost your time.
What are you talking about? Cloud services are larger than ever, most office work doesn't even have to be done or stored locally anymore and music, video and game streaming is bigger than ever. Tell me again, how is cloud storage dying?

Well they have been paying for it, I had all my 6.2k Prores camera data backed up over my shool for quite a while 20 Tb of it... 😂

absolutely true Google goes ape sh_t if you try to use open source,
Yeah where’s the video? Oh well. Make AI set it up.
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. AS AN 83 YEAR OLD NOVICE, I'll look to you and your fine work!

I have never enjoyed a linux related video so much,. You have a talent for only explaining the necessary
Hey
Could you please make a video on how to deploy nextcloud on a home server (not linode but personal server) . Please...
You can run it on docker on your personal server. Search for "using nextcloud with docker" on TH-cam

Dude, I was searching the web for help because I was trying to add a Domain to my linode's nextcloud server, THANKS!!!!
I just wanted to set up a file server for my wife and myself locally at home. I still have no freaking clue where to start.
WAIT..WHAT?? Installing NextCloud to avoid corporations owning your files but u installing it in some corporations..linode ..server?? :D
right haha
Yeah, the point of next cloud is to be hosted on a home network server. But it is sponsering the video.
I installed nextcloud after learning that we can only set up three devices with dropbox's free subscription.
I am not sure what is better and more profitable... Nextcloud 50 GB on linode for 10$ + domain or rather dropbox plus 2TB for 10$
Would you be able to go over how to back up nextcloud and migrate too? I'm using it on local raspberry pi but would be good to migrate to the cloud :)

Ouch, this is why went with docker. Better control. But I have a hard time setting up Iptables with containers.
You can disable the snap auto update feature. Then to update you just type snap refresh into the console (sudo/doas if needed)
So how is upgrade process in general? Do you encounter any bugs, what changes get reset? I'm genuinely curious as I just don't really see how the snap would make the update any easier. Nextcloud updates are mostly annoying and don't come without problems...
Have you looked at the publisher of the snap? Canonical doesn't maintain it, I do as a Nextcloud community member.
@@KyleFazzari Hey Kyle, just wanted to say thanks as I'm currently using your snap package and it works flawlessly
I needed this. Thanks You're Awesome!
Thanks just came from your earlier Plex Tutorials

same problem here! did you find a fix?

This is how many people tried to connect to the ssh server and dont know the password

Thanks for pointing this out. th-cam.com/video/K2m52F0S2w8/w-d-xo.html
Did you forget to hide the servers IP?
No I did not haha
It s pretty much public information
I Use Next Cloud. I Love This Cloud.
Would've preferred a more RAW tutorial without Linode's web UI, but nice
Thank you, sir! Subscribed.
gotta get that executive rank soon

I sort of have this problem, did you end up finding a solution? I'm using centos and when I activate HTTPS I'm no longer able to access the server.
Did you forward port 443 in your router to your server ?
Snap package? ... no way, native via nginx or it doesn't exist.
Is there a way to get back to that Ubuntu installation menu when you first install it after you already installed it?
Im thinking of making a NextCloud server on the same device as my Samba File Server NAS
Great video. Thank you 😊
Great video 🎉
I like your decade shirt.
Set up your own cloud -- on yet another corporate cloud service.
cries in poor
How much space do you need on Linode to run this?
nothing worked for me
Is it possible to setup a custom domain when using the local server option?
how do you make it so that when you have multiple softs in your soft roll; you arent interfereing with another soft like accidentally
Great tutorial - so clear!
Many people are not interested/ can't host their own servers. Are there any good public instances?
Nice tutorial =D
why is it showing locel ip not that link
спасибо Геннадий Букин
can you install it on your home pc, do you have to have a separate server pc?
Can you use nextcloud without domain?
Can you set your email domain in that same linode?
Hi, can you please post the command to renew the letsencrypt https certificate after the 90 day expiration. Thanks in advance!!
How see admin auite in web gui?
can someone tell me the services offer by nextcloud will totally free is we setup on our server? or is there any limits to use ??
Good video.
so i have my own domain name, what now? do i really need linode or something like it? or is there another way to do this?

@@theitguy6652 that makes sense and plus I can set up linode to store anything I want and no one can snoop into it thank for your time
@@theitguy6652 No, dedicated servers can cost 10 or less € per month.
Also you can just host it at home for free if you have good upload.
realy useful
Nice!
how to get a root password
Nice and painless.
You know the tutorial isn't going to be beginner friendly when the guy pulls out linode
The whole video is an ad for Canonical and Linode. hahaha
im in your discord server lol
SpiderOak?
Thanks for skipping the hardest part of the install process, setting up php and mysql and configuring it to work with nextcloud. Pointless tutorial.
cringe snap user
Your sponsor uses you to talk to us ..
but cloud is dying now,
there is no point to store anything in cloud
wtf... actually it's the opposite
What are you talking about? Cloud services are larger than ever, most office work doesn't even have to be done or stored locally anymore and music, video and game streaming is bigger than ever.
Tell me again, how is cloud storage dying?
The reason people use Google, Dropbox and others is specifically so that they don't have to do all this. So it's not quite an alternative to Google.
Yeah also this is so ducking expensive. If you want sync just use syncthing and make backups of it.
Snaps... Gross
