Nextcloud not installing Nextcloudpi scripts?

[nacho-domatix]

I tried already the script, it gives me a clean installation of Nextcloud, but it misses the pi scripts. Therefore I'm not having passwords for Nextcloud, wizard for setup or even the admin webpage (at 4443 port).

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. Installation seems to be ok.

To enter the server I changed the local /etc/hosts so I don't even have to modify /var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php

It's pretty much what I had using the nextcloudpi script on a clean debian machine. I'm starting to think I have some issue with my Proxmox (even I don't have problems with any other CT) :(

[nacho-domatix]

I tried in another Proxmox server. Funny thing: entering by ssh is unable to find the scripts, but using xterm.js is fine.

Anyway, the installation skips the NextcloudPi wizard (with the passwords and all), and redirects to a Nextcloud instance (asking user/pass).

I'll keep trying.

No issues here. All done in the Proxmox shell / NextCloudPi LXC console, NO SSH

Ok, totally my fault, I guess cause I was missing sudo service apache2 restart

Now works great!! As always!! :)

Thank you very very much :)

[nacho-domatix]

Not the same issue, but related to NCP.

When following the wizard, gives me back this: And this So I can't really choose the folder of files.

Might be something related with original script, which does not behave good with LXC for some reasons (it did perfectly fine before!).

[tteck]

Do you have USB passthrough configured?

[nacho-domatix]

Not exactly, I'm trying to cheat the server by mounting directly the hard drive (Proxmox host), but in /media folder.

Anyway, even I skip this step, fail2ban also fails :(

[tteck]

FWIW, using NextCloud backup to USB is pointless when you can (should) backup the whole container in Proxmox. fail2ban should be setup in the LXC console, not using NexCloudPi (in this use case)

In Proxmox I created a directory mkdir -p /mnt/nextcloud/usb then went to Datacenter and Add Directory

I plugged in a 120GB SSD USB drive in Proxmox.

Mount the drive to the directory mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/nextcloud/usb

Next I add the mount to NextCloudPi LXC. In the Proxmox Shell nano /etc/pve/lxc/102.conf add mp0: /mnt/nextcloud/usb,mp=/mnt/nextcloud reboot NextCloudPi LXC

In the NextCloudPi LXC console I checked

root@nextcloud:~# cd /mnt/nextcloud
root@nextcloud:/mnt/nextcloud# ls
dump
root@nextcloud:/mnt/nextcloud# 

dump is there because I set Content: "VZDump backup file" when creating the Directory in Datacenter so that I can store the Proxmox backup there.

You can also use the mount point in NextCloudPi to backup

Now to make the drive mount at boot, lsblk -f in the Proxmox Shell and find the UUID

then nano /etc/fstab and add UUID=0F12-142C /mnt/nextcloud/usb vfat defaults 0 2

Thanks for the info and reply again.

I wasn't seeking to backup in a different folder. What I wanna do is to have nextcloud server in one "small" qcow2 file, and all the data of Nextcloud in a different folder (disk). I used before Nextcloudpi in a Odroid HC1 and that was the best configuration for me, the whole system in the sdcard, and the data in the sata (not usb) disk. That's why the ncp wizard is "ready" to store all the Nextcloud user files in one folder (usually will search inside /media).

Not sure if I explained myself better.

BWT, that's the configuration I have in other containers and it's great, cause I can share files among them, and backup the containers fast and easy (imagine a full backup of Jellyfin with all the movies and series in the same qcow file).

I might do "the trick" by mounting the proxmox disk to the default ncp folder (I believe is /var/www/nextcloud/data) I can take a look tomorrow. Anyway I'm closer to get there, so thankful about your scripts 🙏🙏

[tteck]

That's beyond the scope of creating a LXC running Nextcloud. Good luck, and keep us informed on your progress.

[nacho-domatix]

I believe the wizard of the script should work anyway, but as you said, that's more a problem of the script than the LXC Container. Thanks again! :)
