Watching this after learning that RU-vid 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.
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.
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?
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...
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.
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?
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.
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
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)
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?
