Install Wordpress using nginx - turned to Nextcloud install

Hi Agricola,

Thanks again for more helpful stuff! Just going out the door on my way to work so this will need to wait until this evening. If only I had remote access, I could do it at lunch time, ha ha ha! So do I need sudo even if logged in as root in order to save the changes? Also, do I need to take all comments out, including the one about the proxy?

# ports: # uncomment this and the next line if you want to bypass the proxy

# - 450:443

... and line 48, should be: xxxxx.duckdns.org, right?

... and what is - SUBDOMAINS=huey,dewey,louie,donald,daffy all about? Do I need that too?

Sorry for the complete noobness, and I am always very mindful of my indents!

Thanks again for this,

Nick.

Ah, many thanks - that makes things clearer regarding huey and friends. So this is where the xxxx would go from my xxxx.duckdns.org address (I only have the one at present).

Thanks for the heads up regarding the comments, I didn't think it would make any difference but its good to have that confirmed.

Not sure what's happpening with the editing in nano, since I am running as root (I have always known about the root issue so I must get around to setting up another user with regular privileges). It seems that the error is related to the bit that I have changed, so its almost as though my changes aren't taking effect. But let me get home this evening and take a good look at things. I will compare our .yml files side by side and that should guide me through. Thanks again for taking the time to walk me through that by posting your one.

One last thing, and I should probably understand this, but do I need the duckdns DDNS settings on my router as well? I am guessing not, since if the ports are open then the traffic will get through to the server and the IP address will be managed by duckdns there, am I correct here? It makes my head spin a bit sometimes.

Still, very much enjoying the rather steep learning curve lately.

All the best,

Nick.

Its DONE!

Thank you so much, Agricola for being so patient and to macom for the excellent guide. Next: Mirror the disk! Then, install Wordpress!!

Nextcloud looks absolutely awesome!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Nick.

Thanks, my success was really only down to the kindness of others, as you guys know. That said, I am working hard to learn new things and for the bits I have mastered, basic as they may be, I am very much enjoying them.

I would be delighted to give back to the forum, so long as setting up Wordpress is within my capabilities - I will certainly take a look though. One day I will give back to the forum!

Good idea re resolving this and let's hope it comes in handy for others. I will certainly be revisiting it again for reference, I am sure.

All the best,

Nick.

Hello, its me again and I am trying to update Nextcloud through the web updater but I get this:

Check for expected files

Parsing response failed.

I was going to try the manual upgrade in the user docs but I'm too frightened - will this work wih Docker?

Thanks,

Nick.

EDIT: I have decided that it will work - I'm GOING IN.

Hey, Agricola,

Yes, originally, I looked at that but since it wouldn't work I decided to dive into the manu update, thusly! Trouble is, I am now stuck and I have posted on the Nextcloud forum about that, so as not to bother you guys here, but do feel free to get bothered by it if you like

Either way, I will update here with any news in case it helps someone else. In fact I thought I might do a manual upgrade guide for dummies for those of us using Nextcloud on OMV5 with Docker, (especially the dummies )

All the best,

Nick.

Hi macom,

Thanks for jumping in once again to try to help me.

Checking the image list in Portainer, I have: linuxserver/nextcloud:latest, so, yes - I guess that's the one you mention. OK, so regarding your link - are you saying that I should make sure I have the latest docker image, run the command: docker exec -it nextcloud updater.phar, and then remove: /config/nginx/site-confs/default?

If so, does it matter that I am halfway through updating it and do I restart the server before doing this or leave it stopped?

Theoretically, I have a full backup copy of everything on the drive where Nextcloud is that I took with rsync before the update so even if I ruin things, I should hopefully be able to reinstate things to the way they were.

Thanks,

Nick.

I'm glad you posted that last entry as I didn't understand it the first time. So much to learn.

I am looking for the Duplicate/Edit button but I don't see it. Image attached for you.

I hate myself.

OK, I checked it and it was already checked "always pull the image", so I hit "deploy the stack".

Then I rolled back what I did last night by renaming the new nextcloud directory to nextcloud-new, renamed the old nextloud directory from nextcloud-old to nextcloud, fired up nginx with systemctl start nginx and headed off over to the webgui to see if it would update.

Now I am getting:

502

Nginx can not connect to the application

Why is it that everybody else in the world can just hit the update button in the webgui? i mean, I know I'm not some sort of command line guru but do I really deserve this with everything I try?

Thanks for you help though, just needed a rant.
