@pixolin
You are welcome!

I am up and running with no issues at this point, but I did do a wipe and reinstall. There is got to be a better way but to start over I did the following:

  1. Shutdown and disconnect power
  2. Reimage the sdcard
  3. Connect the 1 TB drive using a USB cableā€“I had one from an old external drive
  4. Connect the 1 TB drive to a Linux workstation or whatever
  5. Using gnome-disks or gparted, delete the partition on the 1 TB drive
  6. Reassemble and boot

If someone knows a better process, please share.

The full OS (snap, Ubuntu 16.04 I think, or later) plus the Nextcloud snap.

Be warned, this totally erased my disk without warning :rage: all I did was :-

  1. Burn the image from the link at the very top of here onto an microSD
  2. Insert into the Pi2 with disk connected
  3. Power back on
  4. Went back to another OS that was previously on the Pi2ā€™s microSD - NO data on the disk ! only ā€˜linux stuffā€™ ā€¦

Is this normal behaviour ?

I also tried an image from Ownyourownbits but that was VERY slow on a Pi2 https://ownyourbits.com/2017/02/13/nextcloud-ready-raspberry-pi-image/

Any update schedule for pi3 Snap version?

12

Sjees, yes, this is normal behavior, and I wanted to look up the wiki page where that is documented but I canā€™t find it so it is clearly not obvious enough. I put a note here:

Iā€™m sorry!

You can find working images on the download server and we have updated images that we will announce in the 2nd week of May.

Thanks !, I think Iā€™m over it now :slight_smile: . I had no idea how snap worked - I still donā€™t really. But I think Iā€™ll get a PI3 and a Nextcloud Box thatā€™s all I need I guess ? as it includes everything (Box,HD,PSU,cable,mSD card) apart from a PI What I would really like to do is run Nexcloud on a PI2 (currently running Openmediavault) and transfer OMV over to the new Nextcloud box and have a share on OMV for Nextcloud on the PI2 if tha makes sense. That way I can have the functionality of Nextcloud and OMV, transferring off of Dropbox, Google and Box. I really like Nextcloud and use a free 500mb (test) online with https://woelkli.com/en

Thanks,
Dave.

How do SSH in please or enable it - Iā€™m trying to use a USB thumb drive for storage and canā€™t figure out how to add it (under local storage)

Did you remove any partition on the internal drive? I did the same, but the Raspberry Pi 3 image doesnā€™t start with the NC installation. It fails after some time and tells me, that it couldnā€™t ā€œLABEL=writableā€. So, I created one partition and assigned the label ā€œwritableā€. But still no success.

18

2nd week of mayā€¦look forward to test it

19

2nd week of mayā€¦?

No deadline has been met yet!

Very frustrating ā€¦

20

It was suppose to be published in 2017, i m really frustratedā€¦especially when people such as natchopacker are sucessfull on their own

21

Iā€™m really sorry about it :frowning:
We just keep bumping into issues. Now we discovered our Raspberry Pi2 images are not compatible with revision 1.2 of the Raspberry Pi2 so weā€™ll probably will go Raspberry Pi3 only. Iā€™ve asked @LukasReschke to put the files on the downloadserver asap, weā€™ll announce it after Nc 12 is out (next week).

Cheers,
Jos

Pi2 is so slow with next cloud, il wont be a pain to discontinue it, nobody will complainā€¦at least myself.

Thank your for your efforts to publish the image

23

Iā€™m very frustrated also. I purchased a Pi3 last year because Nextcloud was supposed to work by November of 2016. Here we are, end of May 2017 and no support. Pi2 is just too slow, the better option would be Pi3 and oDroid C2, at least as of writing this post. Iā€™m about to give up on this project and purchase a WD My Cloud for a little more than what the next cloud will end up costing me. At least WD My Cloud would work with Ubuntu and is ready to go.

24

Now I have seen the image for Pi3 in the download page.
Is it fully usable or is it still a beta version ?

25

Hello, I would like to announce that NextCloudPi has now support for NC12 for Raspberry Pi 2 and 3.

Also has some new features.

If interested, you can check the details here

26

For all those who wants Nextcloud on RPi 3 we have developed an image based on the Nextcloud VM. You can download it here: https://www.techandme.se/nextberry-rpi/

Please report issues (if any) to this repo: https://github.com/techandme/NextBerry Thanks!

27

Will the previous beta (that worked flawlessly on my Pi3, btw) be automatically updated via snap?

28

Snaps update automatically so I guess, yes.
