Hi.
I want to expand my storage as I’m running out (only me using this at home).
Found a video but thats for Virtualbox. I am running VMware player.
Could someone give me a helping hand?
Is there a Hansson fee I have to pay to be able to expand my storage?

It looks like I have understood it correctly that I have to pay for an expand. That’s a bummer. I’m using nextcloud for my iphone and nothing more…

Is it possible to move data from the 40gb VM to a clean install, like (Official) Nextcloud VM ?

You don’t have to pay.
You just have to know how to do it, and your options are basically; looking online for answers, or pay for a service and get it done by someone else.

Thanks enoch85; is this in the correct direction of how to do it?
Read that expanding is not the way, but adding a new drive to the zfs pool is.

hey
until nextcloud 19 i used a set of commands to increse the free storage space of nextcloud vm
i mean after insalling the vm for first use
i create a new disk in vmare workstation pro
then use the commands below
First, run df -Th to verify the “ncdata” size
second After scanning or rebooting, run fdisk -l to view all the partitions
third , verify the current “ncdata” size using zpool list
fourth, use the below command to add the new partition to the ZFS Pool. In our example, we are ad…
I just read this thread and was careful to write
zpool add ncdata /dev/my drive and not
zpool add ncdata my drive
After looking at df -Th it looks like my ncdata got another 210 GB of space
Running update.sh now.
Hopefully this was all that was needed, thanks guys and thank you @Prati_Prati for your thread!
Actually, I prefer to expand, but it has some prerequisites to it.
Glad you got it sorted anyway!
Well, I prefer to maintain 1 disk for data instead of 2 or several.
You get a real great reliable and maintained VM.
Why not honoring this by paying such 20 bucks for the maintainer?
It’s worth every penny and you will be happy for years.

Yes that I can understand. But I was thinking about the procedure on how to expand that one drive.
Yes I totally understand you can pay them and support the project. Will think about doing that.
