For the record those instructions are from 2015, and version 13 of the appliance. The appliance is now version 16, there are 2 hard drives that are part of the vm appliance.

. Both drives start out @ 40gb, i have extended the Hard Disk #2 to 150gb then followed the instructions to attempt to extend it however it failsā€¦ Are there newer instructions that apply to the new configuration? I like the appliance cause it does all the heavy lifting for meā€¦ Help!

These would be good updated instructions based on the new appliancesā€¦

My Guide

Extend the second Virtual Disk to the desired size

Snapshot your VM prior this worked in my environment but has not been tested beyond that.

after this command, type ā€˜Fixā€™ at prompt to take advantage

of new space.

parted -l

remove the buffering partition

parted /dev/sbb rm 9

expand partition holding zpool

parted /dev/sbb resizepart 1 100%

Expand the zpool (and, by extension, the filesystem it contains).

zpool online -e ncdata /dev/sdb

Verify the FileSystem has expanded.

zpool list

I canā€™t speak for Univention as I never tried it, but the VM that I make is years of development. Iā€™d be surprised if you didnā€™t like it. :wink:

Hello all! Iā€™m super excited to get started on my nextcloud project, but I have two quick questions. I will be running this on an old mac mini, and VMware fusion says it is for OSā€™s newer than mine, I have a version of virtualbox that does work, is there a reason it isnā€™t recommended?
Also, I was drawn to NextCloud because it was free and open source, but it looks like you have to pay? I went to github, but that seems to not be the VM file, but maybe the scripts that are inside it?
Thanks,
Jacob

Short answer: Parallels works but runtime must be changed from Apple to Parallels (tested on mac mini 2012)

prebuilt custom VMs are optionally available, I assume as an alternative to donations, as a convenience
