Have you tried resseting the permissions in the unraid tools? that may help if it is a permmissions thing

cool, ill look into that. Thank you

@Kilrah What are you using for a back up solution?? I have appdata backup running daily, is that enough?

Ok, I have managed to get Redis working, clearly my lack of experience is slowing me down but with your pointers I am getting there...... Thank you. Started fresh. Removed the latest install of redis + appdata. Cleaned up my nextcloud config (disabled maintenance mode) 1. Installed redis - bitnami repository. 2. Inside the docker container: a. Changed allow empty password to "NO" b. Changed the suggested password to "my_password" c. Applied changes to the docker container. 3. Opened unraid terminal and ran the below: "chown -R 1001:1001 /mnt/user/appdata/redis/" 4. Started redis. 5. Added the below to my nextcloud config file: 'memcache.distributed' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis', 'memcache.locking' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis', 'redis' => array ( 'host' => '193.166.0.4', 'port' => 6379, 'password' => 'my_password', ), 6. Restarted nextcloud. It would seem that my nextcloud had gone into maintenance mode while i was mucking about.. after disabling maint mode and performing the above all is well. I also updated my NC instance as suggested recently, by running ( docker exec -u 33 Nextcloud-ffmpeg sh -c "php occ upgrade" ) During the upday there were some crazy logs hence the big number - otherise all my errors and warnings are gone! :dancing:

I think the container you used has been modified since and now it works differently.

2 steps forward 1 back... I have redis running now but i am stuck in maintenance mode. After this redis would not run so I ran chown -R 1001:1001 /mnt/user/appdata/redis/ in the unraid terminal, now i have redis started but im stuck in maintenance mode...

Nah im lost..... this is to far for me i think. After installing redis i lose access to NC, I'm assuming this is because redis wont run, and I assume that is because i need to run chown -R 1001:1001 Did you have to follow that step? if so can you explain how?

Interesting.. My Redis version does not have the same options as yours (i.e. Password) and i cant find bitnami/redis. where did you find this container? Scratch the comment above.. I founf it by searching Bitnami and using the one that came up. Im now going to try and follow instructions to on the below to install Chown............ gotta love the rabbit hole

Hello again, I have tried to install redis (docker) as you have i believe.. I installed the same container as you did here and didnt change anything, I pasted the text above and inserted my server address "192.186.0.5" for example and made up a password "Password01" for example. Nextcloud would not start.... I then added "redis-server --requirepass password" to the docker 'post arguments' as per suggestions in the quoted forum for redis... Would you mind giving me a tip? what am i missing here...?

eternally better than trying to update the nextcould config (thats how i thought it was done)

I had not even thought to add it to the guides section..... As you say lets see if a) anyone is trying to set this up, not already at a level much higher than me (thus my guide is irrlavant) or b) it has positive coments. Thank you.

I like this! not sure how to add it and those who my post are aimed at may not either.. I've just started to use dynamix file manager maybe using this? any further tips on this?

I have done my best here as a complete noob, and tips or things you think i should add or change please let me know?

My guide - by a beginner for a beginner. I am starting without any knowledge of how the Linux system works - for 12 months i have blindly tried to make things work and only now really started to learn what it is a am actually doing.... You will see, I have quoted many resourses, the videos are critical to help gain an understanding of what you are doing (as a begginer) This is what i did and although it may not be perfect I hope its easy for someone like me to follow. 1. You will need a subdomain, i followed this video by spaceinvaderone. I created mine 12 months ago... You will want a subdomain such as "nextcloud.yoursubdomain.site" 2. I am using Nginx Proxy Manger. - this is from the app tab - jlesage template 3. For this guide, I followed along with the below Spaceinvaderone guide. I didnt install SWAG as I am already using NGINX Proxy Manager. PLEASE READ THROUGH WHAT I HAVE BELOW BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO AND THEN USE THE VIDEO AS A GUIDE AND REFER TO MY NOTES AS THERE ARE DIFFERENCES. IMPORTANT, Take your time, make sure the containers have fully installed and setup before moving on. Im not certain, but have a feeling that some on my initial problems came from rushing and moving on while Nextcloud was still installing. 4. Mariadb - Installed exactly as per video. 5. for my share, i personally used all disks (in the video he only uses disk 3) 6. For nextcloud i chose the Nextcloud-ffmpeg. 7. WAIT FOR NEXTCLOUD TO FINISH INSTALLING. YOU WILL SEE IN THE VIDEO THAT WE CAN GO INTO NEXTCLOUD LOG AND SEE WHEN IT HAS FINISHED INSTALLING. 8. log in and set up nextcloud as per install video. 9. For the reverse proxy, you dont need to use SWAG (Swag was way easy to make a mistake and then for later use - complicated) For setting up NGINX i have followed the below guide. Note: You will need to port forward in your home router setup. https: "external/outside/from" port 443 -- forwarded to -- (in my case) "internal/inside/to" port 18443 http: "external/outside/from" port 80 -- forwarded to -- (in my case) "internal/inside/to" port 1880 We set those ports (18443 and 1880) inside the nginx docker container. NGINX is super easy to use, I use the WEB UI to setup a reverse proxy. I have only made changes to the 2 below tabs as you can see. 10. To setup nextcloud-ffmpeg to work with NginxProxy Manager we need to edit the config file. In Unraid, i opened terminal and tped the below: nano /mnt/user/appdata/nextcloud-ffmpeg/config/config.php see my below config as example. (this is in the video guide but a different trusted Proxy is different) note - your config may look different to this as you will have different domain names and passworsetc. your config will also change when nextclopud sets itself up. 11. as per video set up custom proxy. hopefully you should be up and ruinning. Warnings/errors after install: No maint window = Add below to config.php: 'maintenance_window_start' => 17, the 17 in above is 5pm utc = 1am Perth Australia time. No Default Phone Region set = Add below to config.php: 'default_phone_region' => 'AU', Above is the Australian code - a quick google will tell you the correct code for your country. just google something like " nextcloud default phone regom country codes" If anyone ever uses this guide and finds issues and or additional warnings, ill try my best to help out.. mainly i just google it and if i can ork it out I come onto unraid forum and ask. Adding the fixes that i have added are highlighted in my config file below, i will also highlight where i have added the text to allow mp4 thumbnails. Note: dont add anything i havent highlighted as it will likely have been auto populated by nextcloud during the install. I havent changed anythinels that is not highlighted. in terminal again i enter: nano /mnt/user/appdata/nextcloud-ffmpeg/config/config.php

OK, so i started a fresh install using advice from this forum.. 1. Installed Nginx proxy manager 2. created a domain "nextcloud.mydomain.site" 3. installed docker container Mariadb (linuxserver container) 4. installed nextcloud-ffmpeg I have fixed various warnings that i received on initial start up. If any one else who is as uneducated as me wishes to hear how i did so please ask i will tell my steps.

Hey @Kilrah I have started fresh with your advice given - this time install has worked perfectly. Thank you. I will look to learn a little more regarding linus terminal and commands.. I will also be documenting what i learnt on another post -

great info!! thank you this will be super helpfull going forwared! however, it hasnt worked - this setup leaves me unable to log in. An if i have read/write access all then i have another error: "It was not possible to execute the cron job via CLI. The following technical errors have appeared: - Your data directory is not writable. Permissions can usually be fixed by giving the web server write access to the root directory"

As a comment from your reply - When I open terminal I type "/mnt/user/nextcloud" and there is no result.. I know enough to understand there has to be a structured command i.e. nano /mnt/user/appdata/swag/nginx/proxy-confs/nextcloud.subdomain.conf Perhaps there is a better to access these logs? I will try and figure out how I can access the Appdata via my windows PC, on the same network. Anyhow, thank you for all your help with this! you have done some great work and have followed up with some very patient and clear support - I respect that greatly! Ill leave it here as I think my next problems will resolved by learning more about the file structures and accessing the config files.

Coming good - slowly getting through the errors.

So the first 4 i have fixed with adding # before each line, as below in my (nano /mnt/user/appdata/swag/nginx/proxy-confs/nextcloud.subdomain.conf) file Is that known as uncommenting the line? As for "The "Strict-Transport-Security" HTTP header is not set to at least "15552000" seconds." I cant find the below line in that conf file add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000;

I have statred again and with some tips from Kilrah, i have managed to get up and running, i am just working through some errors... Kilrah responded to me on another post so i will update this post with all of my findingas after (hopefull) i get my install clean. BTW, thank you so much for your clear and patient tips!

The first 4 warnings/errors probably all require changes to my webserver config file, but i cant for the life of me find out how to get to it...... I have only even found out about linux system this last year and plex/radarr/sonarr/overseerr are about the limit of my use cases so far. I literally have no idea what i am doing. I dont even know where to start learning so I am just going by trial and error.

One of my biggest struggles has been not knowing where to find these locations in the terminal.

I will now start googling my way through the below.

I would rather do that but i dont know where to make the change....
