@JasonBayton - Thanks - It goes so well then i hit 2 problems -
1 - is NXDOMAIN looking up A record for “cloud.domain.com” - This is an issue i hit all the time… I’ll go back to this soon - Self signed for now
FIXED - continuing past that and creating the nextcloud.conf stops apache from starting… This was resolved by cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled then sudo rm nextcloud.conf - SOLVED - USER (ME) Error…
2 - Editing the Nextcloud.conf with the follwing breaks my nextcloud (Internal server error):
The guide didn’t literally want you to put “cloud.domain.com”, but rather, a DNS A or CNAME record that you’ve created for a domain you control. You’ll need to make sure you’ve got such a record that points to your server’s IP.
Example: if you own the site “thisplace.here”, then log in with your DNS provider/registrar and add an A record “nextcloud” in that domain that points to your IP, then you would replace “cloud.domain.com” from the guide with “nextcloud.thisplace.here”.
Ok, sorry for assumptions. This A record also needs to be resolved correctly by LetsEncrypt, so it could well just be a cache timing issue. With most DNS providers, trying again in an hour or so will let it take care of itself.
