TrueNAS CORE - How to Enable Remote Access for Nextcloud using Dynamic DNS (DDNS) with ClouDNS

This video will show you how to config Dynamic DNS(#DDNS) on #TrueNAS with #ClouDNS for #Nextcloud remote access. Although this tutorial is for TrueNAS, it also works on FreeNAS 11.3 and as well as the older versions.

You're damn right that you deliver ! People like you are what makes KZbin one of the best places on the internet.

You saved me from the hell I was going through on other domain providers who have features like this that dont work.

[@Btm10000]

THANK YOU! This is the one tutorial that actually worked!

[@sysadmin102]

Glad it helped!

[@BrandonLy3993]

Great! I have been following your videos and they have been very helpful. Can't wait for your next video so I can conclude my nextcloud setup/

[@romayojr]

anyone know where to find the wget command if using no-ip ddns instead of cloudns?

[@Oogobuk]

Before I get started... any differneces between these instructions for TrueNas Scale?

[@sysadmin102]

Dynamic DDNS should be the same

[@haitham.mohamed]

U post great videos. Thank you

[@carnby24]

thanks..its much more simple than using reverse proxy.

[@Ashbringer992]

How is this remote connection secured?

[@kpeti515]

For me, it did not work. I copy the cron job and paste it into the cron job, run it, but my ip still reamains 192.168.100.1 (default). What can be the reason taht my IP remain unchanged?

[@kpeti515]

I was able to solve my problem. If you do not setup e-mail address at the root user, and do not verify it via smtp or google auth, the corn jobs will not executed. The background: CRON jobs checks the e-mail address of the user to know where to send the e-mail about the job result if necessary. If you run the job silently and in background, it will not send an e-mail about the result, but the e-mail check itself will happen. If no e-mail found, the job won't start. If e-mail can be found at user (user: root in this case) the job will run. Make sure to do not forget to setup the Gmail Oauth or SMTP under SYSTEM -> EMAIL too. Hope it helps!

@@kpeti515 I did what you said but still the ip address does not change :(

[@calichelozano]

Thanks man, which port should I use on the port forwarding if I choose NAT when creating the Jail? the same one nexcloud uses for management?

[@Nsatiro]

nice one

[@jamessiklos-whillans9528]

my internet company doesn't allow for me to input my own IP addresses in port forwarding. you must select from a list of connected devices. I only see my freenas here do I just port forward that? how do i find my nextclouds IP address? is it in the plugin section?

[@jubyjubyjubyjuby]

Is there a possibility to do that without changing back to IPv4? Would love to find a way for that.

[@sysadmin102]

I’m not sure what you mean by “changing back to IPv4”?

[@dennisphilip86]

I am getting the "Access through untrusted domain" when using my domain. Works fine if I log in locally. Any ideas on how to fix it?

[@sysadmin102]

You obviously didn't follow the instruction. I show you how to add the trusted domains in the video and in the text file.

[@dennisphilip86]

@@sysadmin102 Yup, I rewatched it and It’s working now. Thanks for the videos. Have a good day.

[@Steve534222000]

I get an error saying site is curranty unreachable. wget works and changes my ip to the public one. I've got port forwards set up so I don't understand what is going on

[@sysadmin102]

Is your Nextcloud jail used NAT?

Yes@@sysadmin102

[@kingjamesalex]

I’m going through same issue, did you ever find solution?

[@raulgomez8523]

Congratulations on your channel, one of the best, if not the best I've seen. I have a doubt, I have followed all the steps, except the one to open the port 80, since my internet provider does not allow me to do it, it is the port they use to have remote access to my router. I have used DuckDns and it works perfect, but when I connect the wifi or try to access from my local network, it does not connect to nextcloud. could you tell me why? thank you very much and best regards.

[@sysadmin102]

You can forward to a different port for external port and forward that to 80/443 locally. For example, the external port can be 10443 -> 443. Just when you login you need to add the port number to the end of the URL mynextcloud.com:10443

Make sure your port forwarding is pointed to TruesNAS

Not new, but you can set up VPN server with pfsense or OPNSense and remotely access your server.
