Which general topic do you have
I’m not very familiar with Nextcloud.
I work in a small teaching lab for struggling young students.
The goal is to teach kids (14-17 years old) how to work in a corporate environment. Almost all of them have never even worked on a PC, only with smartphones.
That’s why we decided to create shared folders that simulate the departments in a fictional company: Administration, Production, Sales.
The kids also have their own personal folder.
A Samba AD DC, Nextcloud, or Collabora architecture seemed the most functional.
So, there’s Ubuntu Server, ZFS, Samba AD DC, and Docker.
Nextcloud + Collabora with Docker is installed in a pool on an NVMe mirror.
On a second RAIDZ3 pool, I created work folders and personal folders.
Nextcloud is configured to view both via SMB/CIFS. Each user sees their personal folder and the folders they have permissions to.
The first problem is that Nextcloud’s default folder is set to NVMe, and everyone is saving there. This happens because if someone opens Collabora to generate a document, Nextcloud immediately sets the default folder.
The second problem is that if I create the document directly from a folder using the “+New” button, other errors appear.
Not knowing Nextcloud, I searched online, but I didn’t find anything useful.
Even with the help of an AI (Cloud, Gemini, ChatGPT), I’m just going around in circles, wasting time.
Thanks for any advice.
Ubuntu Server 25.10
Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring (34.0.0)
Installed with Docker “Alpine”
