Hi Everyone!
I recently purchased a RockPro64 SBC with other supplies to run NextCloud on it. I’ve got it up and running and accessible from the web site interface, but I get errors from the desktop clients on iPhone, Windows 10 Pro, and Linux (Manjaro kernel 4.19)
Build Details
Nextcloud server:
RockPro64 4GB RAM (NAS Case, Tall Passive Heat Sink, Fan for NAS case)
System installed to 8GB microSD
PCI-e to Dual SATA-2 connected to two WDRed 6TB HDDs
Hardware runs Armbian OpenMediaVault aarch64 ayufan build 4.4.190-1233-rockchip-ayufan-gd3f1be0ed310
Debian version: 9 Stretch
Docker version 19.03.8, build afacb8b
Docker containers:
| Container Name | Docker image | Networking |
|---|---|---|
| nextcloud | linuxserver/nextcloud | 80/tcp, 443/tcp |
| nextclouddb | linuxserver/mariadb | 3306/tcp |
| letsencrypt | linuxserver/letsencrypt | 0.0.0.0:81->80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:444->443/tcp |
Nextcloud version: 18.0.3
There’s an update for 18.0.4 but it won’t do the upgrade, I think I have to do that through docker.
Networking:
DNS-side
Owned Domain we’ll call owned.domain
Through DNS registrar owned.domain is used for web server for another non-related project
On DNS registrar config: DDNS allowed pointed to my home network’s external IP for subdomain lab.owned.domain
Web folder structure
lab.owned.domain:445 Used to forward exteral access to OMV on OMV/NC server.
lab.owned.domain:443/nextcloud Used to forward external traffic to Nextcloud web app on OMV/NC server (via router port forwarding goes to port 444 then docker letsencrypt container on 444 then to 443 on the )
lab.owned.domain:446/nextcloud Used to forward external traffic to Nextcloud web app on OMV/NC server in case where port 443 is filtered by my ISP
ISP provided router (required by ISP)
Some devices are attached to this network, but it is not in the scope of this troubleshooting request except for being a “pass-through” device with port forwarding.
Uses DHCP with reservation for ASUS Router connection to Internet (Should this be set to static? Does it matter since all other things seem to work)
Port Forwarding
| Network Port In | Network Port Out | To Host | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 | 80 | ASUS Router | |
| 81 | 81 | ASUS Router | |
| 443 | 443 | ASUS Router | Possibly filtered by ISP |
| 444 | 444 | ASUS Router | |
| 445 | 445 | ASUS Router |
ASUS RT-AC66
Owned and 100% controlled.
Hosts different non-overlapping subnet with the OMV/Nextcloud server as well as a RaspberryPiZero running pi-hole DNS sink/proxy and LAN DNS services.
Port Forwarding
| Network Port In | Network Port Out | To Host | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 | 81 | OMV/NC Server | |
| 81 | 81 | OMV/NC Server | |
| 443 | 444 | OMV/NC Server | Possibly filtered by ISP |
| 444 | 444 | OMV/NC Server | |
| 445 | 445 | OMV/NC Server |

Non-working Configurations
- iPhone Xr on iOS 13.4.1 on WiFi (same LAN/domain/subnet as nextcloud host)
Nexcloud App v2.25.9 with website login mode
Error request timed out - Nextcloud desktop app version 2.6.4git on Manjaro linux server address https:/owned.domain/nextcloud error: Timeout while trying to connect to Nextcloud at https://lab.oakcityit.net/nextcloud/status.php
I think this error with the LAN devices’ app connections is due to something with my networking but I’m not sure. There’s basically two NAT’ed routers inbetween this LAN with my nextcloud server and the Internet, which is likely confusing things.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
