I have two problems that I canât seem to fix on the snap version but works on the ânormalâ installation.
Theming doesnât seem to work everywhere
When I upload our logo, color scheme and background-image in the GUI settings page, everything
changed as expected, except for the login page. Iâve only got this problem with snap installations.
Clean URLâs, how to set that on a snap version of NextCloud?
On a ânormalâ installation, it is very easy to setup clean URLâs, but I couldnât get this working on a snap installation. Is there a guide or something regarding this?
is this only about ssh access or does the snap NC actually come with reduced accessibility (access configurations, like i.e. using a different location for the actual files) on the admins side?
also, what would the non-tech-user mind whether ssh access was possible. Isnât the entire beauty of snap packes in the simplicity of installation of a complex application bundle with just one simple command?
Hi Olivier, weâre using the nextcloud snap installation as transfer server in a small audit company. Since the installation is privacy sensitive, we have subjected it to a professional penetration test. Iâd like to share the results with you. Please contact me on my email adress if interested. Best regards Martin
Hi Martin,
I understand that for security you might not want to share the details of the report on a forum. Could you at least say if the conclusion of the test was positive?
Both NC12 and now NC13 since it updated today have worked fine. Set up on a Digital Ocean Droplet (ubuntu 16.04) according to their instructions. Letsencrypt for certificate, via noip.com.
Only gripe I have is the News app complains that the database does not handle non UTF-8 characters (emojis?). I donât care for emojis, but wish the warning banner would disappear. Itâs been there for 6 months now. I believe it is not the News App itself, but the configuration of the database. See:
My snap installation of Nextcloud updated itself last night from 12.0.5.3 to 13.0.2.
Most apps seem to be working, but Files is not working at all. Doesnât list any files or directories.
Thereâs an error in my console from app.js: âCannot read property âfileActionsâ of nullâ
I verified through terminal that my files are still there. If I make a new directory on my computer, is syncs up to the server using the nextcloud app. But if I make a directory on the server, it doesnât sync down to my computer. And again, web view is completely blank.
Activation of a Lets encrypt certificate for https was repediately failing, so at some point i switched to a normal installation. (This was in January)
Hi Kyrofa, did you add a second domain to your cert after you originally configured a first one?
Iâve got to add a second one to an existing setup, so wondered if itâs just a matter of re-running sudo nextcloud.enable-https lets-encrypt
then restartinging the snap, and if this would pick up on the new trusted domain which Iâd added to NC and include it, without breaking the existing certificate/domain.
(sorry, this whole snap setup is a lot faster but takes time to get used to not tweaking config files as before!)
@johnkahuna yeah I did. Itâs not as easy as it should be, and I have a bug for that, but itâs not too bad. Taken from here:
First of all, disable HTTPS (this just removes a symlink, it doesnât remove any certs):
$ sudo nextcloud.disable-https
Then blow away any certs that are there (this includes self-signed certs, Letâs Encrypt certs, everything). Make sure you get this command right, you donât want to delete anything else in the current/ dir:
$ sudo rm -rf /var/snap/nextcloud/current/certs
Then pretend youâre enabling HTTPS for the first time, using the domains you want:
That happened in an not productive environment with nextcloud 13. The VM acutally ist down, but it would be nice to get a mysql backup. Will look after solving my bigger Problem
my Nextcloud Snap instance runs perfectly on a RPI3. But I now want to migrate it to a stronger mashinewhich runs with Debian. I copied already the Data folder and mounted it in the same place withe the same name. I also copied the /snap/nextcloud folder to the new mashine but I couldn`t get this thing going. The old folder got a new name also. After I enabled nextcloud with âsnap enable nextcloudâ I only got a white page.
After some trails: which included to rename the backup folder with the number on it (in the nextcloud folder). It got the number of the folder of the new installation. After I enalbed it and run âsnap info nextcloudâ I saw that the ânextcloud.redis-serverâ was inactive. I have no clue what this server does. Now I got no page at all in the browser.
I get the below message when trying to go to settings(.com/index.php/settings/user)
I tried reverting the snap but then was unable to login due to the login button not working.
I have sense refreshed the snap back to 13 to get some functionality back.
