I have started to enhance the work that I did last weekend with Nextcloud on FreeNAS™. I promised to share the innards of my work but first I have to set the right expectations for the readers. This blog is just a documentation of the early work I have been doing to get Nextcloud on FreeNAS™ off the ground quickly. Also there are far better blogs than mine on the Nextcloud topic.
Note:
- This is tested on FreeNAS™ 11.2U5 on Virtualbox. This is an EOLed version. The Nextcloud version on this FreeNAS is version 17, not the latest version. I am testing this version for a friend.
- These are quick and dirty instructions set to install and configure Nextcloud. It is not for production and it is not secure. Future blogs will discuss about HTTPS, SSL certificate and Reverse Proxy.
- I ride on the shoulders of giants. Many have done great work to create instruction video with Nextcloud on FreeNAS™. I thank you to these folks for their great and selfless Youtube videos contributions.
