Configuration direct after Activation
Directly after the initial setup including Activation of Nextcloud / NextcloudPi there is only the WebUI available for configuration.
WebUI
If you want to configure NextcloudPi with the WebUI:
-
Open a web browser.
-
Write in the URL https://nextcloudpi.local:4443 or the IP-address of the Raspberry Pi device in your browser plus adding port :4443
-
There should be an message saying that the address you are visiting is not secure.
Accept the self-signed certificate, do this by clicking advanced on the warning page and then clicking to add exception as shown in the image below
This happens because by default browsers do not recognize self-signed certificates as secure (since it was signed by yourself and not someone else authenticating you)
Later you can get a certificate from Let’s Encrypt that your browser will recognize.
- You will be asked for the NCP-password, that’s been generated during initial Activation.
After this you should be able to see the Web Panel.
From here you can configure everything that you need.
-
See the configuration reference for an explanation of all the options.
-
Follow these steps to access from outside.
-
Follow these steps to host your data in a USB drive.
-
Change password of NCP-user / WebUI using
nc-passwd
TUI - Terminal user interface
To be able to use the terminal user interface (TUI) SSH has to be activated first. SSH-Terminal-access can be activated from WebUI (read https://help.nextcloud.com/t/how-to-enable-ssh-using-ncp-config-or-ncp-web/126317. During SSH-Activation you can set password for user as well!
After SSH-Activation you can use in addition to the WebUI also a terminal user interface (TUI) either via SSH or via terminal-logon with plugged in keyboard/display.
Once you are logged on to NextcloudPi shell you can run the command
sudo ncp-config to open the TUI.
The back-end of TUI is the same as the WebUI: All options are accessible in either UI.
