Getting started with NextCloudPi on Proxmox

Hi @igijfl nice to see that you also try to get it working.
I havenā€™t had much time these days but was finally able to put a post together about my attempts.

I got a bit further than you, but itā€™s not yet working either.
See this post >> Making it possible: NextCloudPi LXD on Proxmox

For option 3, the link https://ownyourbits.com/downloads does not work anymore. And on nextcloudpi.com, VM install is mentioned, but under downloads (Releases Ā· nextcloud/nextcloudpi Ā· GitHub) I do not see any download for a VM?!

On the section " Pass through a drive that is used for NCP data" I am a bit lost.
I have installed NCP in Proxmox and want to continue using the HDD that so far I was using in NCP in my Raspberry Pi.
So far my datadir was /media/USBdrive/ncdata.
In the proxmox installation it is /var/www/nextcloud/data.
As it looks like I cannot change this, would I need to mount the HDD folder into /var/www/nextcloud/data? I guess that is not possible to mount into this folder, isnĀ“t it?
But as the nc-datadir option is not available in ncp-config, what do I do?

I just updated the first post.
So the links should work again and I mentioned about the VM being Discontinued (for now).

The Pass through is for a VM so I guess that might now work the same way with a CT?

From this post I understand that you solved the other issues.

Should we add the Proxmox Helper Script to the official NCP Documentation? It seems legit.
I like to try the script and will take screenshots and notes if we agree to put it in the official docs.
(No promises on when this will happen, we are still hard at work with our startup)

Hi, first of all: great work! I love this guide and used it many times! But now the Second way is not working anymore, because of an automatic update of PHP. I tried to install my Debian11 VM as i did many times before and now I am not able to install Nextcloud with the curl command.
I tried also with a clean install of Debian and did not run ā€œapt install update / upgradeā€ before proceed with the curl command, same issueā€¦ ā€œthis Version of NextCloud is not compatible with PHP8.2ā€
I think i have to downgrade PHP before I can install Nextcloud.

There was an issue in the ncp curl script. Which is solved by now.

Thank you! Thats great

The unofficial Proxmox Helper Script by tteck is broken. Getting the following error message when trying to login to the shell ā€œThis account is currently not availableā€. Additionally it appears the SSH module in the NCP admin panel is missing. Iā€™ve started a Discussion topic in tteckā€™s github here.

Ich habe gerade den aktuellen helper-script benutzt.
Die Installation auf Proxmox ist auch durchgelaufen.
Ich weiƟ jetzt nur nicht, wie ich mich einloggen kann?
Finde kein Passwort/Benutzername?

I just used the latest helper-script.
The installation on proxmox also went through.
I just donā€™t know how to log in now?
Can not find a password / username?

Good question @tomg1970 did you find a solution?

If you can access the CT Shell with ncp-config you should be able to change the password somewhere in the settings. The username is probably Ē¹cp

Hi together,

the script dont work with the new Debian 12. Had someone the same Problem or a Solution?

Correct ! The ncp install script will only work for Debian 11.

I used script helper by tteck to get nextcloudpi running. It have been running for a while now no issues , however, in the last 2 or 3 weeks, the server is unavailable and I am forced to go to ncp-config to run clear-php-opClears the PHP before I can bring it back up again.
How could I fix this?

I have nextcloudpi running on an LXC on proxmox

The passwords for ncp-Account (NextcloudPi) and ncp-User (Admin on Nextcloud) will be shown on the setup page on the first call URL:4443. That is the NextcloudPi standard installation procedure.
If you want to have root access to you lxc container, donā€™t use the default settings in the helper script, choose ā€œadvancedā€.
