Setting Up Your Own Cloud: A Guide to Nextcloud on TrueNAS SCALE

[@nicholasbackwell1869]

I get a kick whenever community based tutorials are better than the vendor's. More thoroughly explained and includes multiple scenario's.

[@Ju-lion]

Truenas’ documentation is kinda lacking man

[@houseandhobby6971]

Appreciate your how to videos. I think there's a huge opportunity and it seems like you are the person to walk the masses through a tutorial on how to create a Docker container in TrueNAS Scale that lets you self host your own php website. There's nothing out in the wild on this yet. An alpine php image off docker hub of course.

With truenas 24 everything changed and nextcloud is impossible to install for me, can you do a tutorial for that please?

[@nathanjenkins9118]

I had trouble following the tutorial with truenas scale 24. I found leaving everything as default in the setup (letting the setuo configure the folders), it worked for me. Tho backing up the datasets like mentioned in the video is useless as the dataset falls under "ixBuiltinApps" or something like that. Not sure how it would backup. 3 months too late, tho I hope it helps. Would love to see updated tutorials from Lawrence systems with truenas scale 24!

[@elielbourrelly9902]

Thank you for the tutorial. I was able to successfully set up Nextcloud with collabora on my TrueNas home server.

[@aeiplanner]

Great video Tom. One of the things that occurred to me right from the get go is the importance of data structure and how to organize all of the dependencies. I think you should do a video covering this topic in more detail and reasoning behind why you structure things a certain way.

[@DeLarcoCorp]

This is exactly what I'm thinking right now. Why not use PVC for the database?

[@lyianx]

Tho his video is made a bit more confusing in that the 2.0.8 setup wants to set things up in its own datasets and has a few more (and reworded) options than presented here :| im a bit confused.

[@stevekirsch8284]

I never would have been able to install this app without this video. Wow.

[@DennisonsThe]

Is there a way to use the Nextcloud app (not Truecharts) with Cloudflare to access Nextcloud remotely?

[@moply9493]

I need to know too. I've been trying for 2 weeks.

[@lyianx]

Well. I tried to follow along, but they've updated it and things look quite a bit different. I dont see an option for "Enable Host Path for Nextcloud Data Volume". I see "Nextcloud data directory" which has a path prefilled in, but not a drop down option to point to the path that was made earlier, so im a bit hesitant to proceed. It also looks like it wants to automatically make its own datasets under its storage config, including appdata, user data, and Posstgres data. So not quite as simple as what is shown in yours (Nextcloud is on 2.0.8 at the time of this post)

[@richardbennett4365]

It came to my surprise, but not sure why since the base operating systems for SCALE and CORE are completely different, none of the settings for where the Nextcloud data directory is located and where the app data may be stored was available during the set up of Nextcloud on CORE. One just gets a vanilla, how-CORE-handles-a-Nextcloud-setup instance of Nextcloud. Sure, that's all fine if one is starting anew. I, though, already have a Nextcloud server running elsewhere, but it's just now I have its data directory moved over to a TrueNAS CORE server, and I need the two to communicate with each other. I got it figured out with an NFS share connected between the server and the client. It took a whole day to get it figured out, but it's all working now, so everything is good. Thanks for your videos. They are terribly helpful.

[@espressoduppio]

Two questions: how do you keep your version updated? By the App section in truenas admin area, or by using Nextclouds update function? What is the best method to keep a constant backup of Nextcloud, which can be redeployed if something went terrible wrong?

[@LAWRENCESYSTEMS]

Via TrueNAS and if it breaks I just remove it and reinstall it

Hi Lawrence, Great video, easy to follow. They now changed the data storage I think its now configuration storage. Anyway, I had the nextcloud install for few years nos, updated to la lates version currently and working fine.

Can you explain these, and which are system files vs storage pool files? - Nextcloud App_Data_Storage (HTML, Custom Themes, Apps, etc.) - Nextcloud User_Data_Storage - Nextcloud Postgres_Data_Storage - Nextcloud Postgres_Backup_Storage - Additional Storage I have 2 mirrored pools (not including the boot); a pool for app files, and the other that I want to use for Nextcloud storage. I've tried setting it up in numerous ways and I either end up with a Nextcloud instance of 500GBs (instead of 4TBs), Nextcloud errors saying that my data "is probably exposed to the internet", or some other file structure related errors. I can only assume that you used the same pool for app data and as the storage for Nextcloud?

[@LAWRENCESYSTEMS]

It does not really matter what pool it's on, just build out the dataset for the different host paths.

[@jeremyhenderson163]

[@jeremyhenderson163]

Love the way you deliver the various content you cover, you seem to lay out the overall picture out better than most content creators I've found. 🤔 Or maybe it's that you cover both the overall picture and the various aspects that make up said picture, and others exclude the big picture assuming we are all on the same page. 🤔 This may be a dumb question, 😜 but here goes. Can I put all of my app datasets (NC_Database, NC_Data, etc.) in 1 pool and use another pool for the storage? The reason I ask is because it kind of sounded like that's what you were saying ("I like to nest all my config files in one place."), but I had problems after doing so after logging into Nextcloud. I either only had 500gb (pool for config files) or experienced errors before, after, and/or during the Nextcloud login. I just downloaded the latest stable version (Dragonfish), but all of my studying (tutorials, how to's, etc.) have been from previous versions (Making using Dragonfish a bit different than how I learned Truenas scale.). I just installed Cobia 23.10.0 thinking I could upgrade once I got use to it, but 23.10.0 is more like Dragonfish than it is in the how-to videos I watched on your channel. I'm generally confused as to what I'm missing?

[@LAWRENCESYSTEMS]

You can have data on one pool and configs on the other. The host path does not care what pool you are using.

[@jeremyhenderson163]

​@@LAWRENCESYSTEMS I must have set it up wrong. I'm not sure if I'm using the right version (Dragonfish 24.04.2, but also seems to be the case with Cobia 23.10.), but setting things up seems a bit different than with the majority of the how-to videos (not just yours.). I followed your video on installing Nextcloud and some things weren't there while additional things were. for instance: Collabra wasn't in the available apps on my instance (maybe due to the Truechart change.), nor were "Install ffmpeg" or "Install smbclient" options while installing the Nextcloud app. Also, the "use your own server" configuration seemed to break my Nextcloud instance, though I don't recall how because I wipped everything and reinstalled so that I could familiarize myself with other Nextcloud features and haven't attempted to configure it since.

[@jeremyhenderson163]

🤔 I found Collabra. It doesn't appear when I directly search for it in the Apps section, but does appear in the "similar apps" section under Nextcloud. Moving on, I'm getting the "Invalid private key for encryption app." error, which suggests that I update my private key password. I attempted this and was unable to do so (even though I have no encrypted files, as far as I know.). I found some articles that mention "server-side encryption", but doesn't seem to be supported now (replaced with "end-to-end encryption", which I found no tutorials for.). 🤔 Where are the tutorials and support for these updates?

[@krowven]

Hey Denis! You can't only place files in the nextcloud storage because the database will not know what user added them and all the other metadata that gets saved when you use the nextcloud clients. However, there is a script you can run via the ./occ command that will make assumptions on the files. (They placed it in the userxyz directory so it must be userxyz's file). Not sure what that script is!

I found it easier to control my nextcloud by installing it in an Arch VM in Truenas scale. The official app doesn't make it easy to use Redis as a memcache for file transactional locking.

I am using the latest version.

@@LAWRENCESYSTEMS Is it normal that in the latest version I can't set the Main Ingress for Trafik? Thanks Lawrence for your videos!

On the whole, apps in TrueNAS Scale are just a disaster. Why they chose k3s as a backend for what should be simple local applications, I will never know. It adds so much (wholly unnecessary) complexity to what should be a very straightforward setup. They also do a very poor job of defining for the user what permissions each storage option needs - I guess the assumption is that most people will use PVC. Not a fan. Well laid out video, Tom. I was previously using the TrueCharts version of NextCloud, but I'm tired of them making breaking changes every other release. Trying to get the official one running now in hopes that it will at least be more stable once I have it running. I'd run it a different host, but I'm trying to minimize the need to go over the network between my hypervisor and my storage. It's only a 1G link, so bandwidth is precious.

If anyone knows how to fix the issue with the cron job not running please let me know

When you enter each the five segments they need a space between them. (IE: */15 * * * *) without spaces it will not validate.
