Ditch GOOGLE and Set-up Nextcloud! - Custom Domain, Secure HTTPS

[@thyagtubes]

Watching this after learning that KZbin has been deleting newer nextcloud installation videos, stating some bogus “community guidelines” reasons. I could see why. A next cloud setup may take off some Google workspace revenues, but more importantly Google wouldn’t want to throw away the enormous power they gain by having root access to another company’s data (“privacy” my a**). They certainly don’t want Nextcloud in schools as G is the defacto suite and the ability to harvest children’s behavioral data (over several years) is incredibly valuable.

[@NoahBuehler]

Well they have been paying for it, I had all my 6.2k Prores camera data backed up over my shool for quite a while 20 Tb of it... 😂

I have never enjoyed a linux related video so much,. You have a talent for only explaining the necessary

[@josegarita2718]

Dude, I was searching the web for help because I was trying to add a Domain to my linode's nextcloud server, THANKS!!!!

[@namelesske]

I created my Nextcloud in the hard way on Debian at home. Could you do a video about how to maintain Nextcloud for security reasons. I'm not sure my server is safe, I'm just playing around with Linux@home.

[@starkfuture1057]

I did SSL certs (I use linuxserver/swag nginx proxy manager or caddy should also work fine), change default ssh port and use identity files instead of passwords, watchtower to keep docker containers updated and automated system updates. May be others can suggest other ways to harden the Linux install.

[@azispratama92]

Thanks just came from your earlier Plex Tutorials

[@aliasger888]

Hey Could you please make a video on how to deploy nextcloud on a home server (not linode but personal server) . Please...

[@khawajh]

You can run it on docker on your personal server. Search for "using nextcloud with docker" on KZbin

[@tanandthun]

Would you be able to go over how to back up nextcloud and migrate too? I'm using it on local raspberry pi but would be good to migrate to the cloud :)

[@Lyunpaw]

I needed this. Thanks You're Awesome!

[@skin480]

I was thinking to have nextclown installed on a raspberry pi4 and use it as a photo backup machine, an alternative to Google photos. The last time I tried it didn't go so smoothly since the system was not that stable. Fingers crossed :)

[@arcticblue2]

That's what I've been using it for and it's worked well enough. It's nowhere close to Google Photos in terms of features or quality, but it's still good for a backup. My biggest gripe with Nextcloud's photo feature is that it sorts photos based on file modification date and not what's in EXIF data. This causes photos that I've edited to appear _way_ out of order which is somewhat annoying.

[@DarthDweeb]

I like your decade shirt.

[@KTSpeedruns]

I just wanted to set up a file server for my wife and myself locally at home. I still have no freaking clue where to start.

[@sgcko7]

Hello there. Just looking forward to deploy nexcloud on my home server. Just have some question. I'm gonna use raid 1 drives and wondering how can I setup nextcloud to use specific storage on my server. Thanks for any advice.

[@rishirajsaikia1323]

I installed nextcloud after learning that we can only set up three devices with dropbox's free subscription.

[@maksympletiuk5311]

I am not sure what is better and more profitable... Nextcloud 50 GB on linode for 10$ + domain or rather dropbox plus 2TB for 10$

[@MichailEminidis]

Thanks for the tutorial! Is it possible to share files with simple links, from a local self hosted nextcloud server, without setting up a domain and exposing ports/nextcloud service to the internet or using a vpn tunnel? If not is it possible to at least expose a part of nextcloud responsive for the link sharing and nothing more than that? E.g the login interface or any other sensitive subdirectory?

[@SayWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat]

WAIT..WHAT?? Installing NextCloud to avoid corporations owning your files but u installing it in some corporations..linode ..server?? :D

[@laptoplivegaming]

right haha

[@noweare1]

Yeah, the point of next cloud is to be hosted on a home network server. But it is sponsering the video.

[@arcticblue2]

The annoying thing I've run in to with the Snap package is that when Canonical updates the snap (I hate not being able to do this on my own schedule), my configuration changes get reset.

[@goku445]

Ouch, this is why went with docker. Better control. But I have a hard time setting up Iptables with containers.

[@SnowyRVulpix]

You can disable the snap auto update feature. Then to update you just type snap refresh into the console (sudo/doas if needed)

[@LampJustin]

So how is upgrade process in general? Do you encounter any bugs, what changes get reset? I'm genuinely curious as I just don't really see how the snap would make the update any easier. Nextcloud updates are mostly annoying and don't come without problems...

[@KyleFazzari]

Have you looked at the publisher of the snap? Canonical doesn't maintain it, I do as a Nextcloud community member.

[@Asdasdas1337]

@@KyleFazzari Hey Kyle, just wanted to say thanks as I'm currently using your snap package and it works flawlessly

[@mindymoore9553]

[@JS-vw7to]

Hi, great tutorial! I have a problem though. All was working perfectly until I enabled HTTPS. I could connect with Domain name though Cloudflare and then once SSL/HTTPS was turned on, nothing. I also have another domain through DuckDNS and that would not work, nor would using my public IP. Any ideas what went wrong? Also when I connect with Local IP is comes up not secure with https crossed out in red (Google Chrome)

[@misty-skies]

I sort of have this problem, did you end up finding a solution? I'm using centos and when I activate HTTPS I'm no longer able to access the server.

[@tomaskner9537]

Did you forward port 443 in your router to your server ?

Snap package? ... no way, native via nginx or it doesn't exist.

[@rihardiii]

so i have my own domain name, what now? do i really need linode or something like it? or is there another way to do this?

[@TechHut]

I mean you could follow the steps on a local server. You'd need to setup a reserve proxy for SSL and your domain. Also if your IP is dynamic you'd need a service like No-IP

[@LGTeGeTeGe]

Can you set your email domain in that same linode?

[@ManpreetKaur-ql9el]

can someone tell me the services offer by nextcloud will totally free is we setup on our server? or is there any limits to use ??

I am confused how's this different than paying for Google One?😬 Please I'm a little inexperienced

[@theitguy6652]

the big difference is that you host, control, and manage everything no one has access to your data but you. Google one you pay to use their software, Nextcloud is great if you care about privacy and have time to deal with everything.

[@c2p-cmd]

@@theitguy6652 ohh okay thank you for your explanation but let's keep privacy aside for a second, in terms of price won't hosting your be expensive compared to just using Google one, Microsoft OneDrive or something similar? Not trying to say hosting is bad but, just curious?

[@theitguy6652]

@@c2p-cmd yes is more expensive to host your own server than paying for Onedrive or Google. For example, if you use linode you are gonna pay at least $10/month for 50gb, in the other hand you can pay $1.99 for 100gb on either Onedrive or Google. in conclusion all comes down to privacy, at least on my opinion. If you own some hardware you spend some time an setup everything for free, but then this will cost your time.

[@c2p-cmd]

@@theitguy6652 that makes sense and plus I can set up linode to store anything I want and no one can snoop into it thank for your time

[@goku445]

@@theitguy6652 No, dedicated servers can cost 10 or less € per month. Also you can just host it at home for free if you have good upload.

The reason people use Google, Dropbox and others is specifically so that they don't have to do all this. So it's not quite an alternative to Google.
