Hi,
while finishing installing nextcloud with this âubuntu-core-16-armhf-rpi3-installer-20170329.imgâ image from the nextcloud download server I came across this section of the documentation:
After system boots up completely, the default hostname is set to
ânextcloudâ, and a MDNS service is also up, so if you would like to
connect to Nextcloud in a local network:
Open a browser and use this URL: âhttp://nextcloud.localâ.After a nextcloud user account is created, you can use
ânextcloud.localâ to connect to nextcloud from owncloud client and
webdav
After the OOBE is done completely, you can use SSH to log into the system:
$ âssh {default user}@nextcloud.localPassword: Ubuntu Core 16 uses SSH key of the default user to log in,
so the private SSH key needs to be placed in the ~/.ssh folder.
What is meant by âyou can use SSH to log into the systemâ, and what tools are neded to do so?
How do i gain access to the â~/.ssh folderâ in the first place to be able to place my private key in it?
Equally important and obscure:
Add your external domain to Nextcloud
How do i do it without access to the system?
At the moment my system is wide open (and equally inconvenient: cannot be accessed from the outside) because i cannot add a âtrusted domainâ
How to use SSH.
Im not sure if this is an option for you. As you stated in another post that you were not able to create a user.
The question I can not answer is: Does there exist no user or is a standard user used when the process to create a user fails?
If there would be a standard user, you could connect via ssh (using the domain-name or the new ip-address) by entering the corresponding password.
As I do not use the nextcloud-snap, I can not advice you more at this point.
Hi,
it seems our correspondance is somewhat criscrossing.
My main problem is indeed[quote=âHollerauer, post:2, topic:15033â]
connect via ssh
[/quote]
How do i do this??? What tools are needed Can I do it from my Windows 10 platform? Via Putty?
I have no idea! And did not find any hint on that.
Thank you
