Easiest Nextcloud Installation with Docker

When you say to 'delete config and start over' what do you mean with that? What config file?

thank you im gonna try this today!

Question, instead of doing port forwarding. Wouldn't be safer to VPN into your network? I'm not sure if not port forwarding will break NextCloud or not.

Great 👍🏾 job. Question: I'm pushing my NextCloud container to a microk8s lab. Do you have any videos that show how to work with volumes?

the container gives older version of nextcloud, older version of mysql, and older version of php.

Thanks for the great video guide. It works great. Maybe anyone knows how to change ports 80 and 443 for NextcloudPi? I would need them for nginx-proxy-manager. Really thanks for every answer and help ...

Is it possible to use this with Windows Server 2012?

one more question guys, I have installed it, it is working and I transferred some files but when I go to linux and I try to find it, I don't know where are located. I have added a drive with 2 TB, I have created a folder name nextcloud in /media/nexcloud and I have mounted the drive in this location. mount /dev/sda1 nextcloud. Then, inside that, I noticed that netxcloud cerated mariadb and nextcloud folder. I have tried to find my files but nothing. Do you know where the nextcloud storages the data? which format?

man, it is not a bad tutorial but there is some details missing here. for instance, why do you need mediaopenvault? you did not mention. you did not mention how to install it. second, you don;'t mention how to delete the config file. I gave a LIKE but it will appreciate you add those details

FYI, it is not actually etcetera (or as I used to think, the place you put files you don't know where else to put... 😂), but extended text configuration and said Eee Tea Sea. Hope that helps. Thanks for all the hard work in figuring out the gotchas for us.

Hello! Thanks for your work, first of all! I try to set up ncp using your descriptions. Im on a RPi 4 8GB, using the armhf source. Unfortunatelly I cannot get it to work. Tried a couple of times yet. Always the same problem: In the /etc/openmediavault/confic.xml I cannot find the options containig noexec. If I just try to go ahead with docker run etc. I get the message "docker: invalid reference format". Do you have a solution for that?

Get to be the worst I have tried to follow in a long time

Hi I'm having an issue with using putty on Ubuntu, I am not able to use right click paste within in putty terminal, do you have any fix please?

Thank you thank you thank you! You don't know how much time I spent trying to debug this. Nextcloudpi takes the cake in terms of ease of use!

edit: also is it normal for ddns connection to be so slow? I have relatively good upload speed of 20mb/s. I'm not even seeing a kilobyte in data transfer speed. The site barely even loads. Would purchasing noip premium help at all here? If not then I don't see this to be very useful outside the local network. Even locally I'm only getting 4mb/s. It's more than enough but not impressive considering how close the server is. It's a little unfortunate. I wanted to share my nextcloud server with friends and family. I have the space and processor for it. (ryzen 3700x, 24gb ram, 2tb)

Regardless, thank you so much for your help.

That's a great work. I also wonder if TechnoDadLife could help with trying to change OMV to recognise the disk patch by label from uuid. Mine displays by uuid and the number is quite unpleasant to work with.

Ciao , ho bisogno d' aiuto , ho nextcloud in modalità mantenimento (dopo averlo aggiornato). Come posso ripristinarlo ? grazie

After RPI4 reboot doesn't work NextCloud website. How to fix it?

Hi! thanks again for the great tutorial! Can you suggest an easy way to see videos previews from nextcloud? I tried to install ffmpeg and changed config.php but I got internal server error...

Hello. Can you please make a video showing how to setup SSL encryption with Emby running on OMV5?

In my understanding, the whole folder creation thing in the beginning could have been done from "add shares" on OMV5, right?

Great video - It's all working OK so far!

How to share a video or file to someone who is not on nextcloud - so I make it public??

HI - Nextcloud does not connect to the MariaDB when I install this on a Raspberry Pi4. Any tips?

Got my cloud running on my pi3 for 5 month thanks to you video torturial. But now i got myself a new pi 4 and tried the same only with an raspberry buster light update and the newest OMV 5 update, and it did not work. I tried everything always got the same msg after i try to install the pulled docker nextcloud image "Nextcloud is not installed - only a limited number of commands are available
There are no commands defined in the "config:system" namespace"
Is it possible that this kinda OMV DOCKER NEXTCLOUD solution doesn't work anymore, cause there is no more installation help on the Nextcloupi site either?

Where is the files uploaded to the Nextcloud is actually stored? just trying to figure out a way to get back the files & backup the files

I followed other video where you install OMV & install docker & this one. Setup my environment for home. Thanks really helpful

Hi TDL, I used this tutorial back in July and eventually got things working (although I since crashed the system). However, now when I try to follow your tutorial, I can't quite seem to get to or through the "noexec" search and destroy step whereby the /etc/openmediavault/config.xml file contains the "noexec" term. I suspect it may have something to do with the latest OMV5 version (updated this fall) and/or the way OMV5 handles the table(s) or file(s) used for tracking the permissions. It seems the OMV5 GUI can be glitchy when removing File Systems (possibly modifying fstab or whatever), as it needs to be rebooted to apply and clear changes Anyway, from my experience, if I can't find the "noexec" parameter in the config.xml file via search in order to change it, the docker logs -f command will never go through the init process successfully as described by others in comments below.

Hi I am getting the error "unable to to download app calendar" . You have a comment "delete config and start over", where is that config located? Thx

Pi 4 4gb:

Nextcloud is not installed - only a limited number of commands are available

Seems like the remove of noexec is no longer required as it is not in the opts.

to install owncloud via portainer should look very similar to what was shown here.

is the same face of owncloud, nextcloud is a fork of owncloud ?

I keep getting this error message

Nextcloud is not installed - only a limited number of commands are available


There are no commands defined in the "config:system" namespace.

It's the second time I follow this steps. Two things happen. The nextcloud never inicialize and after reboot o lost my interfac etho, apper interface docker and i can't log on omv anymore. I So in other videosyou create some folder ins share folders. I must create share folders in omv: appdata, media, downloads and docker to solve this? And who can access?

So is nextcloud free for home users?

I'm getting a headache with 503 service unavailable error with fresh install of nextcloud via portainer. Will try this tomorrow.

Hi! Thank you AGAIN for this tutorial. I have one question: is the Pi version better than the normal one? I used "not-the-pi-version" on OMV4. Thanks from Italy again!!

Im a verry big fan of your videos, pleas do more videos about nextcloudpi

I got an error message while trying to run nextcloud (change permission on 0770). Two days before worked fine. Started my ip adres and get this information. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? (Use raspberrypi and openmediavault5)

I cant see docker logs -f nextcloudpi
Return this mesage below. Do you know why?

docker runstandard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "exec format error"

Hi! I am new to this and I installed OMV5 on my RPI4 today. However I cannot figure out what is the default password for root ssh login to OMV via putty. I tried the web admin password and "openmediavault" but both didn't work. Do I need to change a setting for that? I am a novice. Any help would be appreciated

Merci pour la vidéo, mais quand j'ai changé le n° port (80 par défaut) de mon omv, celui-ci s'est planté :( comment faire en ligne de commande pour réinitialiser le N° de port ? Merci d'avance.

I may have missed something but I'm not able to locate my external storage in Next Cloud. I have confirmed that the external drive is connected and can be access through OVM (Shared Folders). I have also verified that the volume mount is set up properly by creating a new directory [test] inside of the ncdata directory on the server by running the following commands `docker exec -it nextcloudpi /bin/bash` `ls data` and the test directory along with the ncdata files are visable. However, when I attempt to connect the external storage in next cloud I continue to get a warning.

The log on OVM appears to be searching in var/lib/samba/usershares/ for these directories. Can anyone help? Techno Dad are you able to provide any work arounds or solutions?

Again great tuto... I encounter serious problems when updating. what is the right way to update (inside nextcloud itself or ....) ?

Something not working right after the docker run ... command. The log mentions config.php is owned by root and not www-data. The install seems to finish but wont get past the activate screen. Continually says initializing.

which config file i have delete. Please can you tell me.?

PLease make vedio of owncloud in Openemdia vault

hi i am using this tutorial, but after shutdown the pi4, the external drive in usb 3 is not detected anymore. i using "sudo fdisk -l" but there is nothing in there, onli the mmc card is available. Any suggestion?
