How To Install & Use Nextcloud On Raspberry Pi (Easy!)

[@rurickmaqueopoisot5295]

after a couple of days trying to get nextcloud running with different tutorials this one was the only one that worked

[@PlaylistMan]

its taken me 2 days to find a tutorial this good, and it was worth it thank you

[@boi_doingthings]

Oh man. What a great one. Went through many videos but none matches the level of convenience of your video. Much appreciated.

[@immortalcyanogen779]

Hey, I have watched his bitwarden video and successfully made a bitwarden server with port 8080. Now port 8080 is occupied by bitwarden container in my docker and I have assigned nextcloud with port 8443. But when I tried to open setup after assiging the port, it did not open in my browser. Please help me. Thank you

[@curlyfryactual]

@@immortalcyanogen779 make sure to map the host port 8443 to a different docker port from bitwarden. Bitwarden maps to docker port 80, so don't do 8443:80. Also in your {your_path}/nextcloud/config/config.php make sure your trusted_domain list includes your ip x.x.x.x:8443 and your overwrite.cli.url variable maps to the same x.x.x.x:8443

[@seanaldridgefrancisco8736]

Managed to finish setting it up in 2 hours, thanks for the easy to follow tutorial

[@asuras1]

Thanks for the best video for the combination raspberry pi + nextcloud + docker! Two things would have been great to be added: - setup the crontab for the background jobs (sudo docker exec -u www-data nextcloud php /var/www/html/cron.php) - manually perform a file scan otherwise you won't find all images on nextcloud (sudo docker exec -u www-data nextcloud php /var/www/html/occ files:scan --all)

[@curlyfryactual]

Really covered all your bases, absolutely fantastic guide! I did not do this on a raspberry pi, but was spared any and all headaches setting this up on Fedora.

[@SHAILESH_JANGRA]

Great,The best video on internet , pls make a video on internet access of this nextcloud and how to transfer whole database to another hard drive and if possible include backup of nextcloud

[@DylanLongwith]

This still works in 2024. Be sure to read what you are downloading in regards to installing Docker per his BitWarden video. I did mess up though. I went through the setup before setting up Postgres, because I was trying to hurry and do this on my lunchbreak. Pretty sure the Postgres db is doing nothing now, not sure where to go from here because I seem to be illiterate!

[@paulrheinert]

I would recommend Maria instead of Postgre

[@davidward1729]

Great starting point to start setting this up. Excellent video!

Hi, I did everything you showed but I cannot open Nextcloud in the browser. "This site can’t be reached".

[@Bcarr122391]

This was THE easiest guide to follow - I wish I found this 7 hours ago - yes, I've been working on this for 8 hours. 😭

[@Bcarr122391]

Side note: I rebooted my Pi, and now NextCloud isn't running - I ran the full script after reboot: {docker run --name nextcloud -d -p 8080:80 -v /media/usbdrive:/data --network nextcloud-net -v /home/pi/nextcloud:/var/www/html nextcloud} after reboot but get the following error: The container name "/nextcloud" is already in use by container "(long string of text/numbers). You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name." How do I fix this?

[@Bcarr122391]

Ok, if you get this issue of NextCloud not running: Run: docker start postgres & docker start nextcloud This should solve the issue, as I've found.

[@G4bis]

@@Bcarr122391 thanks u so much, after i restarted i had the sam problem. I have two questions maybe u can help me. In the folder /var/www/html i do not have any file , why? And maybe u know how to automatically start postgres and nextcloud after a reboot? Thanks

[@michaelgibbons7014]

If anyone is curious about the "docker" way to do this, docker actually gives you a flag for what should happen on reboot. sudo docker update --restart=unless-stopped postgres sudo docker update --restart=unless-stopped nextcloud

fantastic video, really appreciate it!

[@dcc1313]

Hi dude, what about ssl certificates ? Is it the same like bitwarden video? I should add the ssl commands when running docker?

[@Glightstar]

You should probably use a reverse proxy instead: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy There is also a bit more information about this on the wiki of bitwarden_rs: github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/wiki/Enabling-HTTPS Basically, you set up a webserver (bitwarden_rs references caddy, I myself use nginx), set up the subdomains, request the certificates through Let'sEncrypt's certbot (at least this is the case for nginx, for caddy it seems that this functionality is already built in), and voila, finished...... of course it isn't that simple. Maybe, @censiCLICK, this could be a topic you could cover :?

[@C3PO_]

Thanks so much for this excellent introductory tutorial. May I ask after connecting and setting up the external drive in Nextcloud, whether it is possible to map it as a drive in Windows so that I could access it more easily?

[@TostonDePana]

You can set up an NFS server for that. It's a little involved but it's a fantastic way to access the drive at home.

[@C3PO_]

@@TostonDePana Thanks for the tip! I plan to set up a Nextcloud container on my Raspberry Pi, and connect a large external HDD to it so that all devices at home can use it as a file store on my home network. Is it possible to connect an HDD with data instead of a fresh drive? I'm new to all these so will have to look them up. If you know a good tutorial I'll be very appreciative! Many thanks again! 🙏

[@TostonDePana]

@@C3PO_ yes it's possible to do that. I have a nearly identical setup like that. It requires quite a bit of reading and tinkering but you'll get there slowly. The site pi my life up which you can find via search engine had a lot of great and updated pi-specific tutorials that I used along the way. Make sure to document everything you do to reference it in the future. You can use one note or obsidian (or any other note taking software) to ensure you have a record in case things go wrong.

[@ShacharOz]

great reiew. regarding external storage space. can I add a USB storage with existing data on it? or do I must make a format before as you show here?

[@ShacharOz]

can you create a guide to make all this without docker? i installed ubuntu core and nextcloud directly on it.

[@norbertoneto2674]

Hello there, is it possible to give a name to the volume in the postgres container? I mean, I mounted it in local storage but when I use the docker volume ls command, the volume has a big random name. I would like to use something like postgres-nextcloud, bind in /home/user/nextcloud/db and, of course, it be the /var/lib/postgresql/data. Thank you!

[@TheMFLORD]

Really good and quick tutorial, but as I understand the database of the Nextcloud now lies on the SD card of the PI right? Is it possible to move everything on the external drive?

[@balazssrancsik1691]

If you are running it on a Rasbperry OS, there is the possibility of copying the SD image to say an external USB drive. Then by removing the SD card, the USB drive will serve as a boot drive.

All went well until I decided to move my Pi along with its external drive connected to it to someplace else. I had brought it offline so I switched off Pi. After I started again, Nextcloud never came back. I tried starting containers for Postgres and NextCloud but doesn't help. Can anyone guide me step by step on what commands should be used while switching off Pi and starting it again if ever I need to do that? I am guessing it will not work automatically on a reboot or should it?

[@gaminghack3862]

This cloud only works if you are on the local network, or even if you are on another network?

[@Devillman90]

If you want to expose it over the Internet and have it function like Google Drive, OneDrive etc, you have 2 options either expose your raspberry pi over the internet by port-forward the port of the docker container running nextcloud in your router. Or use a vpn to access your local network from the outside world. The guy mention about this in this video. If you want to expose it directly you will need to set a proxy have a domain and install an SSL certificate to allow everyone to visit this instance, but you need check how to do this as it takes few extra steps.

Installed on my Raspberry Pi 4 with an external drive but can not create a folder on that drive. Also does the server boot automatically whenever the Raspberry Pi reboot?

To start automatically, use something like "--restart unless-stopped" or "--restart always" in your Docker run command. The other issue doesn't have an obvious answer but it's likely a permission problem. Make sure user "www-data" can write to the drive.
