Hello everyone,
I'm a noob and trying to learn about setting up nextcloud on unraid. I've followed Spaceinvader's "Installing Nextcloud on Unraid 2022 pt1" to a tee and cannot get it to work. All the steps worked just fine except for setting up a CNAME in cloudflare - I am instead setting up a type A record and plugging in my static IP address. In my simple mind that should work. I've opened port 443 so I don't think that is the issue (I may be wrong though).
My bigger question is this: I've been reading all the issues folks are running into regarding setup and nextcloud breaking after updates, etc. I would like to understand the need for cloudflare, what is going on in the background, what we actually need to set up remote access securely, etc. I know there are different methods of setting up nextcloud but what are the pros and cons with each? Are there any videos that describe this? Are there descriptions/recommendations on the unraid forums? I appreciate everyones support on this stuff, I have been using unraid for years and have been very happy, this forum has been very helpful.
