Hi. I want to start selfhosting my data. I already have a jellyfin server running. I'd like to add a nextcloud instance. The setup of nextcloud says I should open up port 443 for using my own domain. Sadly I am not able to open up this port properly. It is open however when I visit jellyfin.mydomaim.com it is rerouted to the config of my router. To circumvent this problem I have set up a reverse proxy that accepts port 8443 instead of 443. For my jellyfin this seems to work. I can visit it with jellyfin.my domain.com:8443. I don't know how I can get this to work for nextcloud as it only accepts 443. Any advice on my setup is welcome! BTW I am running Debian on an old PC.
Thanks in advance for the help!

I have nextcloud running just fine (with Apache) on a non-443 port. What issue are you seeing exactly? Once your webserver is listening on your port of choice, Nextcloud will show an "untrusted domain" warning if the domain/port have not been set in config.php properly. After that is done, it works perfectly for me.

I was running nextcloud in a docker (and was maybe thinking of running it in snap), how can i change the default 443 port. I have no experience with the docker from nextcloud

@encode8062 @hello_world Please try to avoid using nextcloud in snap. I started with nextcloud in snap and came a long way before I realized the performance and upgrade issues when using snap version of nextcloud. For me it was too late but now I try to ask people to avoid it at all costs.

Thanks you so much for the warning. I was already doubting if that would be a smart choice.

Not using Nextcloud in snap and not sure where I said I was using it inside snap? What installation method are you using at the moment?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@hello_world Sorry, my reply was meant for @encode8062 . Not sure how you got tagged.
If the question was for me, I am stuck with using it in snap as my family and I have too much invested in Nextcloud to try to attempt a migration to a non snap instance.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No worries :) Let me rephrase the question though - what installation method would you be using if you could?

So far I'm reasonably happy with a baremetal installation, but considering moving it into some kind of VM.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@hello_world I would be using it in a VM or bare metal if I could. I have heard good things about Nextcloud in docker but we are power users on Nextcloud in my house so not sure if docker instance of nextcloud could handle the load.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd hope for the exact same performance with Docker (or KVM) as on a baremetal host, unless you're doing userspace networking for ultra-low latency Nextcloud :D (and even that I suppose you could PCI-passthrough the network card?)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@hello_world I would agree. We have around 2 TB of data hosted on our snap nextcloud instance so I would not even know where to start if I ever wanted to migrate it to a separate instance on docker, VM or bare metal :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My condolences! Copying the data around may be reasonably straightforward if you can get it out of the snap (it's just a directory, after all), but I have no idea how the database is setup for it. Good luck nevertheless!
