After trying Onlyoffice Docs for the the last 15 days, i can say onlyoffice is better than Collabora, it runs and loads faster than collabora with the same machine specification and number of users, now i turn back on the nextcloud office with onlyoffice ,i can say this solution is more reliable than collabora office which is slow and failing most of the time

@necrevistonnezr from what I am reading, they will let it function independently. 🤞

@luckow you're entirely right

But I am looking for something lightweight.

I could not find one, so I built one :
https://forum.cloudron.io/post/78167

Hope it helps someone else.

@mcolvin @Reddy welcome!

Nextcloud has an external storage plugin - https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/external_storage_configuration_gui.html . With that you can connect S3/CIFS etc. As @mcolvin pointed out, the idea with external storage on nextcloud is that you give access to a bunch of users and they all can store files in this external storage.

If you want to increase the storage space across all users, you have to get so called Block Storage from your VPS provider. For example, if your server is on OVH, https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/public-cloud/block-storage/ is around 5 bucks a month for 100GB. You can attach block storage to Cloudron VPS via http://docs.cloudron.io/volumes and then move nextcloud to that volume via https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#data-directory .

Finally, if you have massive amount of data, let's say terabytes of data, the cost effective way is to selfhost at home. Attaching a disk at home into a VPS in the cloud is quite complicated and I won't recommend this. The performace will really not be satisfactory.

According to https://github.com/nextcloud/logreader/pull/866/commits/20870c1225e32ca55eed4d87249f697f5d13fda8 you must see some better error message

Well, I don't. 🙂

Oh well.

@girish said in All previous folders and files have disappeared after migrating Nextcloud to a different Cloudron server:

@jdaviescoates that makes sense. So, I recommend one of these:

This depends on how much you use nextcloud. Just setup a fresh nextcloud and import things over from your previous install. Most things have import/export . For files, since you already installed a broken one, it already has the files. Just cp over all your files from broken install to the fresh one. After you copy files, https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/nextcloud/#rescan-files in web terminal. Note that you will have to also re-share stuff if you use that feature.

OK, I might do that. Thankfully the two instances of Nextcloud I need to migrate aren't very large nor very actively used.

Alternately, you have to wait for us to investigate if the situation has changed wrt migrating users from uid based installations .

That'd be great. Ideally Nextcloud on Cloudron would be properly portable like most other apps seem to be.

For now I'm just going to do nothing and leave the Nexcloud apps where there are (but do really want to move them so I can save money by cancelling the VPS servers they are currently on)

@girish said in Migrating Nextcloud to a different Cloudron has resulted in all the Nextcloud user's usernames having _xxxx appended at the end:

as long as the new Cloudron and old Cloudron use the same usernames.

I think this is probably the issue. I think I imported the backup before importing all the users! I've now imported all the users, uninstalled the broken install, and am currently re-importing the backup again...

Do lots of testing, and make sure the object storage system is fast and local to the NC instance since NC requires it's installed in that configuration (you can't change from one type to another after install).

This means the Cloudron package is not set up for that configuration at all.

@jdaviescoates Woops! Fixed 🙂

Thanks for the clarification and explaining the security implications. Would it work in a secure way, if the "iframe" app is on the same domain, f.e. iframe.cloudron.app ?

I have pushed out the update. The changelog is in github and maybe they are just busy with Nextcloud conference currently to update the website.

@girish said in Social Well Known:

I tested this out quickly. Indeed, the app auto creates an id of the form @nc.domain.com . After domain change, it doesn't adapt. But I don't think this is a bug in the app. Most of the federated apps (even outside nextcloud) cannot change their domain post installation.

I thought the same!

It seems to be a bit of a bugger that, on the other hand, I located the folder for well-known but nowhere does it show the URL in the files in the well-known folder for the app.

I have messaged the developer of the app to see if they could put in the description to only install on a URL that will not change or find a way around it but I don't think the developers of federated apps have it high on their priority to make domain name changes possible.

IMO, it's better to make these how to's SEO friendly with proper description and content. From what we have seen, the docs are not read as a manual like in the good old days.

People search -> hit forum post is the most common flow. The forum is waaaaaaaay more popular in SEO than the docs.

Whatever caused this, either a Cloudron update or some self-solving stuck/bug in NextCloud fixed it. It works now.

@3246 said in [💡 Guide] How to install Cloudron/Nextcloud with LUKS full disk encryption on Hetzner cloud server:

@Stardenver yes it is. I also have it running on baremetal at home/office.

My new set up has a main drive that's encrypted and another for local backups, which is also encrypted but unlocks after decrypting the main boot/data drive.

Happy to expand on this if folks find it useful 🙂

Thanks again for your setup guide. Just got a new server and its up and running. May I ask how you'd setup your system, so that additional drives are also encrypted and unlock after decrypting the main drive?

It was so long ago that I set it up now that I can't remember, but this is what I have in my domain section of the SnappyMail Admin Panel:

And in General -> Main I've got this:

And in Login, I've got this:

And under Extensions, I have:

Hopefully that helps?

The htaccess from /app/data/htaccess is linked into the app code folder https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/nextcloud-app/-/blob/master/Dockerfile#L69

Instead of copying file by file you should tar the files as @robi suggested and upload it via file manager. You can then extract it (file manager has an Extract option).
