  • I'll give it a shot. I've tried so many different approaches already. I think I maybe tried to install AIO straight onto a linux vm; don't recall how it got derailed. I did build a Lubuntu VM for experimentation. I really wanted to get an Ollama chatbot running to assist me in my future digital endeavors, but it just wouldn't come together.

  • I'm betting you've nailed it. It doesn't make sense to me why it won't work. You're also the second one to mention cloudflared. It is easy to set up?

  • "Local host" in this instance refers to my desktop computer where all my super sweet Linux distros are saved. Nextcloud Office, while being an "app" appears to not have any function without the collabora; i.e. there will be no document viewer without the collabora "server" running next to NextCloud.

    Or maybe it's none of that. Coming from a Windows background, running docker is completely foreign.

  • I have not tried caddy through docker yet, just running it through a windows command line with admin priv. I'm looking into doing it with Docker, just haven't started yet.

    I will remember how familiar you are with docker!

  • I didn't think Nextcloud AIO would actually work with existing files on a separate drive. I know it says it will ... but .... I'm not interested in buying a gigantic new harddrive to clone all my data to just to run one program.

    Also, if it's running in WSL or a VirtualBox VM it would be fucking hell to get it to play nice with the network.

  • It would be absolutely sublime if it worked. Literally every step resulted in an error. EVERY STEP.

  • I've tried and tried. It just won't work. Maybe I need to get a different firewall program. I'm working in Pro, added the features, made the firewall exceptions, have my network setting as "private," I've done everything. The host will be visible on the network, but logins time out or fail altogether.

    Since writing my rant, I found HFS, which, though an OLD program, was stupid stupid easy to set up.

    I also found Filebrowser, and though the config was way more of an asspain than it should have been, it's fucking awesome. I've even moved on to trying to get HTTPS running for external connections using Win-Acme, but it isn't going well.

  • You could be a legless NEET and not have enough time to get this fucking bullshit to work correctly.

  • Is there a way to self-host nextcloud by downloading one file, docker container, .nzb, .jpg, ANYTHING that includes all these parts and can just plug in and run? Is that a thing, or do all self-hosters spend every waking hour sudo updating?

  • Currently dealing with this nonsense,

    and this accompanying nonsense:

  • I want my docs and files on a self-hosted cloud (I can't seem to get sftp, ftp, or sharing to work on windows 11 even after adding the missing features) , with the ability to at least open the contents without downloading them. I want to stop using google for calendars and notes, and it would be handy to have a self-hosted bulletin board I and my added users could write on.

    According to the box, nextcloud does all these things, except that it doesn't, without practically rewriting the code and somehow re-engineering linux to not be a fucking cunt.

  • I was trying for the 3rd time to install the collabora office app in nextcloud. I think it's hilarious they know it's going to time out and they give you a bogus command to run to fix it. So unnecessarily irritating.

  • Seriously homie, unless you're a fucking linux docker nerdshit wizard, you should find another way.

  • You don't want your kids using a rope, so keep them away from linux.

  • Do you have office set up in it?

  • If Nextcloud "caused total data loss on all my synced devices and the server itself" I would probably do something unsavory to any responsible party I could locate, and take 10 TB of data out of their lousy hide.

  • Did you find a self-hosted solution?

  • Dude- it's like you're reading my mind. I've installed Nextcloud 4 different times, the most recent being on docker desktop in Win11. I've resorted to using chatgpt to help me with the commands. LITERALLY EVERY STEP RESULTS IN AN ERROR. The Collabora office suite (necessary to view or edit cloud docs without downloading them) WILL NOT DOWNLOAD. The "php -d memory_limit=512M occ app:install richdocumentscode" chatgpt and Nextcloud suggest is not recognized by the terminal. You can't just download Collabora, cuz fuck you, i guess, and you can't access Docker's actual file system from windows explorer.

    I've typed nonsense into various black screens for upward of 20 hours now, and nextcloud is "working" locally. I can access my giant hard drive from my android nextcloud app, but it's SLOW AS FUCK.

    I can't imagine how many man-hours it would take to open the server to the internet. Makes me want to fucking barf just thinking about it.

    I've been fucking with Linux since 2005 and have yet to get a single thing to work correctly. I guess I'm the only one who thinks an (mostly) invisible file system in incomprehensible repetitive folders, made of complete nonsense commands might not be the best way to operate a computer system.

    I'm really frustrated if you can't tell.

    On another topic, trying to get Ollama to run on my Lubuntu VM was also impossible. I guess if everyone knew it was going to force you to somehow retroactively configure every motherfucking aspect of the install nobody would bother. You can sudo all day and it still denies me permission to do things LISTED IN THE MOTHERFUCKING DOCUMENTATION.

    Is this all just low-effort poorf** bullshit that doesn't actually work?
