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 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.
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?
@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.
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.
@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.
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?)
@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 :(
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!
Thanks you so much for the warning. I was already doubting if that would be a smart choice.
