Here is exposed steps to setup a nextcloud box on RPI consuming the nextCloudPi image . enjoy ;)

Nextcloudbox setup

• burn a usb drive. NextCloudPi offers a fully configured box.

• insert sd card and boot. Default credentials are: pi/raspberry

• change keyboard layout if needed before getting crazy:

  • edit the XKBLAYOUT="fr" directive in /etc/default/keyboard:

  • reboot: sudo reboot now

• enable usb device automount:

  sudo nextcloudpi-config
  

  then: nc-automount > active=yes

Wait a few seconds and check your drive is mounted using:

    sudo fdisk -l

Test it!

Locally

• In order to test it you can take a look about connecting to pi over ethernet. That's pretty nice to connect to RPI with a simple ethernet cable.

Behind a router/internet connection

• Plug RPI to your router

• Go to the admin panel

• Perform port redirection to the RPI: external 443/internal 443.

It works, yeah! beer time!

Enter the RPI @IP in your web browser (https://10.42.0.100 in my case), after adding a security exception because of self signed certificate, you should see:

credentials: admin/ownyourbits

External storage setup

• format your usb-drive as ext4 and create a msdos partition table if necessary using gparted. The partition must be a linux partition kind to support linux right management.

• change nc-database to the flashdrive: sudo nextcloudpi-config > nc-database

• change nc-datadir to the flashdrive using: sudo nextcloudpi-config > nc-datadir

If everything goes well, you should see that data and database are stored in /media/USBdrive/ncdata and /media/USBdrive/ncdatabase

Enable and set up WIFI

You can enable and select your WIFI connection in: sudo nextcloudpi-config > nc-wifi > ACTIVE=YES

Enable SSH

SSH is not enabled by default, enable it in: sudo raspi-config > 5 Interfacing Options > P2 SSH You can now ssh the rpi machine:

    ssh pi@10.42.0.100

Default rpi credentials are pi/raspberry, CHANGE IT by running: passwd

Troubleshooting

Trusted domains issue

Fix it in editing nexcloud/config/config.php:

    ...
    'trusted_domains' =>
    array(
        ...
        3 => '10.42.0.100'
    )
    ...
