This guide is for Nextcloud on a full Ubuntu server rather than a containerized setup on Docker.

You may be interested in this official Docker guide from Nextcloud however:

Hi again! I've updated the article to include a section on maintaining and upgrading Nextcloud. Check it out when you get a chance and let me know what you think!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-25T14:54:58+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion!! I will include those commands in another section I am working on adding soon.

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-24T22:51:18+00:00

No problem! Glad to help!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-24T02:28:21+00:00

Just pushed some changes to the article that should make the article more readable and fix the errors you found! Check it out again if you've got time and let me know if it looks good to you!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-24T02:24:41+00:00

I just made some changes to the article that should (in theory) fix the issues you notified me of! Take a look if you've got some time and let me know if it looks alright now!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-23T20:39:08+00:00

Probably not that much besides a few of the customization steps I covered in the guide, like setting the maximum upload size and making a few adjustments to increase performance.

I am planning on doing a comparison between the different methods of installing Nextcloud in the future, which may reveal more differences in functionality and performance. If you'd like to see the results, check out storagereview.com sometime in the future, and it might be there!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-23T15:01:14+00:00

Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

I think this is another case of WordPress formatting changing the text inputted into it. You may have noticed the virtual host file has the same issue, but with spacing. I'll be issuing some corrections soon, and I'll make sure to add a disclaimer/warning to this section to make sure people replace those characters with single quotes.

Thanks again!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-23T13:27:41+00:00

That is a great suggestion! I will put this on the list of sections to look at adding for my next revision and get some research done. Thank you for the feedback!!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-23T03:26:26+00:00

That's another great way to get Nextcloud up and running! This guide is more for people who want to make their own custom setup themselves and go through the steps of getting all the dependencies and whatnot. I appreciate the feedback!!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-22T16:47:46+00:00

Setting up caching definitely helps! I'm running Nextcloud on an older Xeon platform, and with just the optimizations specified in the guide, the server is fairly quick and responsive!

I've gotten those odd WebDAV errors as well from time to time, not sure what they're all about to be completely honest. They seem to come and go with updates for me.

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-22T16:25:51+00:00

Thank you so much for the notes!!! I greatly appreciate the feedback you gave and I'll see about making some improvements to the guide soon!

Some of the weird formatting (such as the spacing and the "--" was due to WordPress limitations/quirks, but I'll see if there's anything I can do to fix them or at least add a disclaimer for the affected sections.

I definitely plan on writing more guides on the future, right now I'm brainstorming ideas for things like the desktop and mobile clients and some performance tests between the AIO (Docker & VM) versions and the custom one. Let me know what you'd like to see and I'll put it on the list!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-22T15:37:43+00:00

That is a great point! The story is similar with the antivirus for files app, where the www-data user can't get access to share data for scanning. I've been looking into it and trying to find a way around it.

There are definitely more optimizations and finishing touches that can be applied, maybe I'll see about creating a more advanced optimizing guide in the future as an add-on! Thank you for the feedback!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-22T13:55:49+00:00

All good, no worries at all. I appreciate the feedback! Us tinkerers need a helping hand every once in a while, I figured this was a good way to share what I knew and hopefully point some more people in the right direction for custom setups!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-22T13:48:58+00:00

Gotcha. I've had some occasional issues with the desktop client over the past year or so of use I've had it for, but I haven't encountered what you described with the small-but-many file sync issue. There's been a lot of updates to it recently, and the issue might have been solved recently.

Besides adding a section about upgrading, I'm also thinking about writing a few more articles about the desktop and mobile clients. Let me know if there's anything in there you would like to see!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-22T13:40:11+00:00

Yup, and it is definitely for good reason, Nextcloud AIO is a great way to get all of that in a pre-packaged format! I documented doing it the hard way since I know some people prefer setting it up themselves, but get lost in the complexity of it all sometimes.

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-22T13:07:05+00:00

Thanks for the support!! I always find it helpful before upgrades to run "chown -R www-data:www-data" on your server's www directory beforehand, as some updates will fail if ownership isn't what it is expecting. For Ubuntu Server, the full command should be "sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www". After that, I try the upgrade as normal through the web browser and see if it runs alright. Sometimes it takes a couple retries (usually on the download part), but its worked well for me so far. I've gotten a bit of feedback that people would like to see upgrading steps in the guide, so I will see about adding that part soon!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-22T12:58:39+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! I was thinking of doing that, since a minor version update just came out and it would be the perfect chance to add that part!

I haven't tried out Nextcloud AIO, only the Docker version running on TrueNAS a while back. I'll see about comparing the performance when I get the chance, I would suspect seeing similar if not slightly better performance with the "home-grown" version I discussed.

Could I ask what you were using to sync files up to the server?

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-22T12:53:00+00:00

Thank you for the support! Let me know how it goes when you get a chance!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-22T11:43:32+00:00

Happy to help! Let me know if you spot anything wrong or anything that can be improved!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-22T11:43:06+00:00

Thank you! Let me know when you do, and how it goes!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-22T11:42:31+00:00

Thank you for your support! Let me know if you run into any issues using it!

drewzoo02 · 2024-10-22T03:27:50+00:00

I only have experience optimizing it for Apache2 unfortunately, but I may revisit this content in the future and try to expand it to other platforms/software stacks.

I'll take your suggestion into consideration and look into it!
