I am a real newbie, previously used TrueNas Core - a lot of overhead for my needs. I wanât Nextcloud on my file server, now running Ubuntu 23.0.4. Nextcloud on my home server would give me an excellent synced backup for my desktop.
I followed this guide:
and it all went perfectly until I tried to initiate the Nextcloud server setup file:
" Now you can open your web browser and type the localhost address, then add a forward slash / and type, nextcloud." This didnât work, I tried it both on the server and on my Mac on the same network.
I also tried downloading the server setup file from Nextcloud downloads to /var/www/html:
wget Nextcloud Setup
but it always failed saying something like âcanât write to âsetup-nextcloud.phpââ.
Hello @Norseman
and welcome to the communityforum of NC where everybody tries to help everyone.
Youâre referring to an external (and probably outdated) howto. Why donât you ask there about solving your problems? I mean⌠I donât want to sound harsh on you. I am just interested.
Of course there are how toâs here on the forum as well⌠you could use one of those. Or you could try NC-Manual to do your first setup. Itâs pretty well explained.
Or, being a rookie, youâd try AIO-Docker and spin up a working instance within nothing.
Or youâd take a look here at NC-installing-guide and find the most suitable way for you to install NC Install - Nextcloud
as NC itself isnât really made for rookies⌠even if youâd successfully follow some working howto youâd be up on yourself to maintain your instance afterwards.
awww and one last hint: pls donât install it to anything else than a LTS-version of Ubuntu. The newest one is 22.04.
@Norseman
Maybe you like this installation guide for Nextcloud on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with Apache2. Please always use LTS-versions of Ubuntu e.g. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. If not upgrade oder install Ubuntu again.
Please do not use this version. It is for webserver install e.g. on webspace.
Please post more details e.g. screenshots from your error. Does your webserver works at http://localhost? I think you must increase your linux knowledge to find errors e.g. in apache2 logs, ⌠You should also understand each step of a manual. You can search the internet for every single step or command.
