Map nextcloud (on truenas) folders to windows folders ON LOCAL NETWORK

[bb77]

@Pete_Dubler

Of course I have read the Nextcloud documentation for mapping drives with windows explorer:

Did you also read this section? https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/user_manual/en/files/access_webdav.html#id10

@Pete_Dubler

Is there a way, under the truenas installation of nextcloud to assign a different IP address to the nextcloud so that we end up having the nextcloud and truenas instances at different IP addresses (not just different ports on the same IP address)?

I don’t use it my self, but afaik, they introduced “per-app selection of IP addresses” with the release of TrueNAS 25.04 (Fangtooth): 25.04 (Fangtooth) Version Notes | TrueNAS Documentation Hub

Other things I should be looking at to solve this? (please don’t suggest the client app… that I already have running and, again, it works great going through my Cloudflare tunnel.. but when using from machines on the same lan as the truenas/nextcloud, I loose all of the advantage of my local network speed).

Could possibly be solved with a reverse proxy and a proper split-brain DNS setup.
