Mini NextCloud Server on Raspberry Pi 5

planning to install on top of windows 11 server.. not sure, how good it will be............. i was fan of nextcloudpi... it is not working now...

Hi. Thank you very much for the great video !

I can’t get to the url mininextcloud. Could I be on a different port?

thanks for the video!! is it possible to add another storage location?? I've an SDD connected to the RPI and i want to use it with nextcloud, if it's possible

for me the connection to the Maria DB doesn't work, I recreated all the Containers with the template but everytime im in nextcloud an want to create the Admin user for Nexcloud and want to connect to the DB, this error appears.
Error while trying to create admin user: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occurred in the driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1130] Host 'nextcloud.nextcloud_default' is not allowed to connect to this MariaDB server

So sad that NCP was discontinued. Then I have to reshare all my shared folders after setting up a new instance.
Was back on v24 anyways so upgrading would be a hassle

I really wanna know how to add a external harddrive/ssd and have acess to it on Nextcloud

How update Nexcloud on Docker-Portainer ?

how do I change it to store the files to my SSD I just formatted and mounted?

Can you show how to add an external or extra storage to nextcloud e.i USB, external hhd/ssd and to save the data you are synching on it

don’t use mysql/mariadb in production environments. at least if you have access to postgres right next to it.

It's saying "access through untrusted domain" when i tried log in from my phone.

❤👍

Hi, I get Error
Error while trying to create admin user: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occurred in the driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1130] Host 'nextcloud.nextcloud_default' is not allowed to connect to this MariaDB server while creating the user with the correct credentials

Hello, any idea of how to add a external drive to all this? Thank you.

I'm waiting for a DeskPi Lite for the Raspberry Pi 5...

Yes do more

Hi. Thank you very much for the video. But, cannyou help me to locate where can we set the definitions for the max_memory_limit and the max_input_time. I did spend hours and hours making changes to any php.ini and .htaccess files everywhere and I couldn't manage to increase those values

slow down a bit
you talk just fast enough that i miss some things you say

@Novaspirit what are you using for these power charts? They are very nice.

Please help! at first, Great video, simple and easy tutorial for a beginner like me. I followed this video and setup my own Nextcloud server on my old laptop but I am facing a problem with my nextcloud, if I upload a large file it completes the upload but at the end it shows "error when assembling chunks code 504" error and the file doesnt show up until I refresh the page after some seconds. I am using Dietpi as OS and Portrainer as you have showed and cloudflare tunnel to host on the internet to share files.

Hi Don I keep getting Error
Error while trying to create admin user: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occurred in the driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'nextcloud'@'nextcloud.nextcloud_default' (using password: YES) any tips to help fix the problem?

It’s 0.99c a month for 50GB of iCloud storage. How long would it take to offset the cost for buying the hardware if spare parts aren’t available? It’s nice to have alternatives but iCloud storage is not expensive taking in consideration your hardware and power costs. I have over 15 thousand pictures and I’m not even using 50% of my storage…

more next cloud. Can't wait to see this integrated with the pi series you did

A dollar for 50gb is reasonable

Awesome video mate! I've been using Nextcloud for a while now with my Rasbperry Pi 400. Only problem facing is when I try to backup and recover my Nextcloud database to another OS/device (bullseye/bookworm, Pi4/Pi5), the sync gets slow after. It'll great if you can make a video and talk about this. Would also like to see if you using any other "Contacts" app to sync with your phone contacts. Cheers budd👍

Very good video, but the problem is the same as other videos.. this is a storege and for this reason you need a backup, when you will do a video on how backup in easy way all the data on nextcloud?

What operating system are you using ? (beginning of the video), also have you used Zimaboard compared to Pi 5 ? thanks

Why did you use Raspberry Pi Lite instead of Unbuntu Server 22.04?

Even I would like to implement something like this actually like the concept of Self - Hosted cloud storage or network , love using docker to setup things...
Nice video real made me learn more about the Pi 5

That's a sweet case!

Great video, love you videos. One question, did you ever tried to install native, without docker? I have everything native, even nextcloud office, coolwsd running native and i can tell you the snapiness is way way better compared with docker also updating eveything is easier using just the repositories.

One thing you have not mentioned is the redundancy and backup.
If your drive fails I believe all is gone, right? You can't access anything and even if you have a backup somewhere, you can't do anything with your backup files until you have replaced your drive and restored the data on it.
With other paid platform such as Google, Microsoft, etc, you don't have to worry about redundancy. Backing up, yes, as this is your own responsibility, but your data will always be available.
So you need to set up your multiple drives storage with redundancy RAID or ZFS, preferably during the initial steps as it might be a nightmare to do after a year of use...
Your wife will not be happy if your drive crashes and she can't have access to her photos... But as a good IT guy (and hubby!), you do have all the backups, right? hahaha

As soon as I get the opportunity to get my Pi5 here in Australia, this was what I was aiming to do ... thanks for the tutorial mate, really appreciate it!

Thank you, allways interesting, now i'll like to go futher. please do a second part

So glad I have 1TB on my Microsoft 365 account.

For the people blindly following this video, please don't use these default passwords. Change it to something else, and disable password ssh authentication. Use certificate authentication instead. If you open this thing up to the internet you will have hundreds of bots trying to break into your server every day.

hey Don, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your desktop looking nice. Which desktop env and OS do you using?

I would have suggested to use dietpi instead of raspberry pi os lite

Please do a full tut on nextcloud, plus they have diff ver (are they like dev, beta, stable)?
show how to access from outside your lan?

sadly at the time i used rpi4 there was no onlyoffice for arm (office integration in nextcloud). So i lost interest in arm, switched completely to x86 and didn't regret it so far. But it is still interesting how arm is progressing, thanks for the vid :)!

Does the Pi 5 requires to setup USB boot like the Pi 4 did or it finds the system off the USB drive on it's own?

Hello Don, great video as usually. Could I ask you what is the maximum capacity of storage for NextCloud and what is maximum number of HDD? (i.e. If I have a USB HUB(10 disks) with own power i.e. I-TEC or Orico and disks with own power and I connect 6 HDD with kapacity 6TB/per one HDD (36TB toegether) i.e. Western Digital Desktop 6TB - Will be NextCloud OK with this setup?) I ask because I tried OMV 5.0(Open media vault) and I connected there 4 HDD with capacity 6TB, 5TB, 3TB and 2TB and in OMV I saw all four HDD but via network i did not see last one (2TB HDD) ... Thank you very much for your answer.

Which Linux you are using?

Do you use a UPS in case you have a power cut? If not, hace you ever had data loss?

Awesome. As a raspi-newbie I found you this weekend. I would love to see how you continue (setup) and how to sync mobile devices to the cloud. Also how to setup to have access from anywhere. Thank you again for your content.

Yes please. Looking to understand NextCloud better.

Quick Question: Once Next Cloud is installed on the Pi can the program run with no Internet connection, just a local network connection? Or does it need the Internet... Great Video!
