Nextcloud VM updated TrueNAS documentation

Steps To Reproduce

The TrueNAS documentation provided (https://docs.hanssonit.se/s/W6fMouPiqQz3_Mog/virtual-machines-vm/d/W6fMquPiqQz3_Moi/nextcloud-vm-first-setup-instructions) is for TrueNAS Core on FreeBSD. There is now also TrueNAS Scale on Linux. The existing instructions where based on old 40GiB OVA which was BIOS based. Both TrueNAS Core and Scale support UEFI so I suggest replacing the TrueNAS instructions with the following which are simpler.

I have tried the unpack and correction on both systems.

Note the need for the /etc/exports.d directory required as a lock file is created by ZFS in that directory when doing a zfs mount -a.

Expected Result

Updated documentation for TrueNAS

Actual Result

Existing instructions out-of-date

Screenshots, Videos, or Pastebins

No response

Additional Context

Change to a temporary directory on TrueNAS with enough room to download and extract the Nextcloud image

cd /tmp
mkdir nextcloud
cd nextcloud

Download 100GB Proxmox VE nextcloud.vma.zst file

curl -L -o nextcloud.vma.zst 'https://download.kafit.se/s/YmPiD362tBjxKTL/download?path=%2F29.0.1%20-%20HUB%208&files=vzdump-qemu-999-2024_05_28-18_54_20.vma.zst'

Uncompress image

zstd -d nextcloud.vma.zst

Obtain vma extractor from https://github.com/jancc/vma-extractor

curl -L -o 1.1.1.tar.gz 'https://github.com/jancc/vma-extractor/archive/refs/tags/1.1.1.tar.gz'

Uncompress extractor

tar zxf 1.1.1.tar.gz

Extract hard disk images

./vma-extractor-1.1.1/vma.py nextcloud.vma image

Create zvols

Set the Zvol names to Nextcloud-disk0 / Nextcloud-disk1 Set the Size for these zvols to 60 GiB / 100 GiB

Copy data into volumes. Destination directory dependent on pool name where the zvols are created.

sudo dd if=image/drive-scsi0 of=/dev/zvol/tank/vms/Nextcloud-disk0 bs=1M
sudo dd if=image/drive-scsi1 of=/dev/zvol/tank/vms/Nextcloud-disk1 bs=1M

Optionally snapshot the zvols before install to be able to get back to fresh images
Optionally delete temporary files

cd /tmp
rm -rf nextcloud

Create a Nextcloud VM

Set Guest Operating System to Linux
Give the VM a name like Nextcloud
Set System Clock to UTC
Use Boot Method UEFI
Set a Display Password
Select 4 Cores or more
Set Memory Size to 4 GiB or more
Use existing disk image
Select Disk Type VIRTIO
Set Network Interface Adapter Type to VirtIO and Attach NIC to correct interface
Press Next for Installation Media and GPU
Press Save

Add the second disk

Go into Devices and Add
Set Type to Disk
Select second disk for Zvol
Set Mode to VirtIO
Select Device Order to 1002

Start VM and connect to display
Login and correct system

Login with ncadmin and password nextcloud
Ctrl+C out of installer
Use sudo bash to root
Find network adaptor name with ip a
Change network adaptor in /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml with nano
Run mkdir /etc/exports.d
Run zpool import -a
Run zfs mount -a
Reboot and start install
