Most of the threads I've found on other sites (both Reddit and the Synology forums) have basically said "go with Docker". But what do you actually gain from this?

People suggest it's more up-to-date, and maybe for some packages that's true? But for Nextcloud specifically it looks pretty good. 32.0.3 came out 1 day ago and isn't yet supported, but the version immediately preceding that, from 3 weeks ago, is.

I've never done Nextcloud before, but I would assume installing it via the Package Center would be way easier to install and to keep up-to-date than Docker. So what's the reason everyone recommends Docker? Is it easier to extend?

I volunteer with a small local org. They use Google Workspace. I want to ask them to switch to NextCloud. But despite looking pretty throughly, I can't find anyone that offers managed hosting/support. I don't want to be the sysadmin. The org already pays a hefty fee for Google so they should't have a problem paying for NextCloud.

NC recommends a bunch of providers on their site, but they all look like VPS's, and don't seem to mention NC at all, much less anything about support. They also all look like they're non-US, which I understand many would consider a good thing but I really don't want to be dealing with slow connections. Not sure if that's a realistic concern.

Bonus points if they offer discounts for non-profits.

Please enjoy this very technical discussion on Nextcloud Atomic, the immutable system-level wrapper for Nextcloud AIO, which is being designed as the successor to NextcloudPi. Atomic delivers Nextcloud as a simple deployment for single machines, allowing easy selfhosting for home enthusiasts and anyone else wanting to run Nextcloud.

Interview includes Tobias (Atomic, NextcloudPi, Nextcloud Secrets) and Marcel (Floccus, Bookmarks, Recognize). Begins with quick overview and review of running Nextcloud, along with popular outlying Nextcloud implementations and apps then discussed at-length. For comprehensive show notes and timestamps click here.

If you enjoy the interview, please do share it with others! Thanks so much.

How should I deploy Nexcloud docker compose on my server so I can mount encrypted hard drive in the Nextcloud server?

Would it be reasonable to expect a Raspberry Pi 4 to run Nextcloud and manage a photo backup of +100 Gb?

The Raspberry Pi is from 2020, running Raspbian, and it was used as an intervalometer with the help of gphoto2 (meaning no great efforts were demanded from it).

The pictures are on two external hard drives

*1Tb WesternDigital SATA (bought second hand, but "like new" according to the sales guy.

*320Gb WesternDigital SATA (inherited from an AcerOne laptop once I realized it could not even handle lubuntu)

My very limited knowledge on the subject tells me I need to:

*Get rid of Raspbian and install Raspberry Pi OS

*Install Nextcloud (and upgrade an existing account)

*Upload +100 Gb

Would the aforementioned steps allow me to access the files on Fedora/Kubuntu (two separate hard drives on a desktop) and openSUSUE (on a laptop)?

I’m also testing a filen.io account and a sync.com account. All three services (NextCloud, Filen, and Sync) work as I expect on an Ipad.

Filen and Nextcloud have Linux applications, and both have been working without problems on test backups of 100 pictures.

Sync is CANADIAN but not Linux friendly (I tried Wine, didn’t work, gave up)… I’m accessing a free account via Firefox only, so I’m not counting on them for this journey.

So, long story short, I want to back up my files (mostly pictures/scans and some pfd documents) on someone else's computer and locally.

Now the question. Can anyone recommend a guide to achieve what I want?

I’m a cook by trade without any technical (software/hardware) training who has been using Linux (openSUSE, Ubuntu, Arch, Mint) since 2012. Please forgive any mistakes on terminology.

I included a picture of my intervalo-Frankenstein-meter from 2020.

Thank You.

Please @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz could you allow your #android app to open custom links? I was given access to a #nextcloud instance, but when somebody shares links to files on nextcloud, it opens the browser and I have to search for my login details every single time. Kinda defeats the purpose of having an app + it makes me want to just share the files publicly - I know others do too.

I'm wondering if there is a way for me to sync my SMS messages with Nextcloud and not share them with third party apps. I currently use an app that allows me to block numbers and helps me filter spam but I'm sure they have a copy of all my messages which I don't like.

Any suggestions?

I have a Nextcloud v24.xx install on shared hosting, good host that would probably help, but I want to learn. I hve looked through the Nextcloud site and my OS/browsers are deemed too old. I can run MX KDE off a stick but not for long because it runs the fans hard on my old MBP (2009).

I've had an issue with the internal GUI updater getting stuck on Step 3 for a long time. There was a file to remove so I could try again, which I did back then in the v25 days, but it kept stopping at Step 3, and I've been ill, so I let it go.

Now I look and NC is on v28? And I now have a little time. I have SSH access and the cPanel terminal available, and when Softalicious did the install I chose the db name and can find that info and have PHP MyAdmin access.

But I am not certain about some things, one being that I see advice out there to update one version at a time, which seems like it'll be a long slog if it can be done at all, since I'm on 24.xx now.

Softalicious, BTW, also could not do the update back then and then at a certain point told me it was too many versions behind instead of just failing with no explication.

I'd either like to update in one swoop, or save my data/db and do a new install and import my data from a backup and point it to the db. I'm assuming there were database changes along the way and a 24.x db might not import.

Suggestions welcomed, anything I learn I'll post if helpful.

Okay i have a strange problem. Im running a nextcloud instance with linuxserver.io docker. And every night at 03:00 AM i get 100% load. And it disapears when i restart the docker.

I have entered docker shell when the high loads occurs and i see that the process is php /app/www/public/cron.php that is causing the high load.

Nothing i the logs shows errors and i have checked all settings. How can i continue the search of what making the high load?

I cant trigger the high load from anything else execpt waiting until 03:00 AM.

He guys,

after upgrading to Nextcloud 27 I noticed some errors in Security & setup warnings. I fixed all of them, but don't know what to do with this one. I've read documentation, but still don't know what to do. How to fix this or should I just ignore it?

I'm running lsio docker container, Nextcloud version 27.1.4
