After tinkering with this for a while, it seems the solution is much simpler than I thought.

For some reason, the only step required is to modify the config.php file.

No need to install ffmpeg or even to enable the app "Preview Generator" inside Nextcloud.

 

I'll leave what I did here if it can help anyone looking to generate thumbnails for video files :

1. Go to your config.php file located at /mnt/user/appdata/nextcloud/www/nextcloud/config/config.php

2. Just before the end of your config file, add the following lines (after the 'installed' => true,) :

  'installed' => true,
  'enable_previews' => true,
  'enabledPreviewProviders' =>
 array (
    0 => 'OC\\Preview\\TXT',
    1 => 'OC\\Preview\\Image',
    2 => 'OC\\Preview\\MP3',
    3 => 'OC\\Preview\\Movie',
    4 => 'OC\\Preview\\MP4',
 ),
);

You can also add other file types that you require (mkv, avi, etc.)

Thanks man! Awesome you put a working solution here! Was looking for an solution on github and other sites for hours, and was suffering for months!

Need some help regarding MariaDB. So I've had my Nextcloud docker running smoothly for a couple years now. I've just realized that I do not have the credentials to the MariaDB root password or the database password saved. It's been a while since I set it all up, so I'm sure I'm fuzzy on the details.

 

1. Is my data in Nextcloud at risk?

2. is it possible to reset these passwords? Does resetting those passwords put my data at risk?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

Did you ever find a solution for this?

[blaine07]

Upgraded to Linuxserver latest image this morning; 24.0.2 from .1 I believe; seeing some 502's. Anyone else with issues? going to try to roll container back to 24.0.1...

 

EDIT/UPDATE: My Nextcloud itself is on 24.0.2; I try to keep up with it being updated and the container itself. Container update today I definitely do believe something is wrong with; I'll give it a few days and try again 🙂

Not yet. I’ve found a couple other sources stating how to reset the database password, but I’m still not sure if that puts my existing data at risk. I’m not 100% sure what the relationship between Nextcloud and MariaDB is, just that everyone says to use MariaDB to make Nextcloud run better. 

[diehardbattery]

I'm having an issue. I have followed Space Invader's video up until the installation of NextCloud via the login page. I have ensured the DB password is correct for user: 'nextcloud'. However, I am receiving the following error: "Error while trying to create admin user: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occurred in the driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'nextcloud'@'***.**.*.*' (using password: YES)". I suspect possibly the settings for the created nextcloud share might not be correct. What are the correct security settings for this share? I have set the security to Public, have tried Export/Yes, Export/Yes (hidden), Export/No options. I'm unsure how to proceed.

 

There is nothing in the logs accessed via the docker page for both mariadb and nextcloud that indicate any errors.  From there, everything looks fine.

I was playing with Authelia the other day and the guide(Ibracorp) had me define a host path for Redis. Made me wonder-- I have Redis setup in Nextcloud. The Redis container I am using with Nextcloud does NOT have a host/storage path defined. Should I have a storage path defined for Redis that is being used with Nextcloud?

[r00tH4cK3r]

I updated my Nextcloud docker container and my database for it, and now I get invalid data directory error. Been searching trying to figure out how to fix it. All I did was update it and it locked me out. Kinda frustrating.

Hi everyone,

 

I'm looking for help, and I hope this is the right thread.

 

I've got NextCloud installed on Unraid, being proxied via Swag, as per Spaceinvader's videos.  I also have the "external storage" app installed.

 

When I go into files and try to share a file or folder via the "share link" command, it works perfectly if the folder/file I'm trying to share resides in the NextCloud Data directory, however if I try to share a folder from an SMB share connected via "external storage" it displays a page (when trying to access via the link created under "share link") that appears to be trying to load the directory contents.  It spins and spins forever.  If I go to the top right side and select "download all files" I do indeed download the contents of the directory.

 

Only files and folder shared from the SMB share connected via the "external storage" app have this issue.

 

Permissions in the "share link" function are set to read only.

 

So what's preventing NextCloud from listing directory contents when I use the "share link" function for a folder residing on an SMB share? 

 

EDIT:

Found the solution.  In the settings for external storage I missed that under the 3 dots by "available for" is a checkbox called "enable sharing".  Checking this resolved my issue.

I see that you can view you username and password for mariadb in config.php in Nextcloud.
Open console for the socker and type nano config/www/nextcloud/config/config.php

there you find dbuser and dbpassword. there is a picture in this article: https://flemmingss.com/create-a-global-default-folder-for-incoming-shares-in-nextcloud/

I made a new installation of nextcloud with mariaDB following the youtube video of Spaceinvader One. Everything works fine but it's really slow. It takes 12-15 seconds to go from the home to the files or photos tab. I tried to disable all the apps too but it doesn't change much and when I try to re-enable any app I get: Error: this application cannot be enabled because it makes the server unstable what can I do?

I'm having some trouble getting my reverse proxy to work (Nginx Proxy Manager) with Nextcloud. I think something in my config.php may be the issue. Is this the correct place to post about this?

[diehardbattery]

Hello, I have recently installed NextCloud.  I am getting the following error on the /settings/admin/overview page: "The "Strict-Transport-Security" HTTP header is not set to at least "15552000" seconds. For enhanced security, it is recommended to enable HSTS as described in the security tips."  For Unraid, I understand this typically means editing swag/nginx settings.  However, I am instead running a Kemp Load balancer in an esxi instance on a separate machine.  The Kemp as I understand it also acts as a reverse proxy.  My Nextcloud is on my domain which faces the internet.  Anyone have experience with this setup?  Thanks.

[blaine07]

FWIW I upgraded NC to 24.0.3 today; everything seems fine thus far 🙂

Use notepad++ or your preferred editor and edit ssl.conf.

It is in there. delete the hash in front to activate it. Then refresh your check to hopefully get the tick.

In the old docker template in unraid, the password was in there. It is now hidden in the new template

I think you may find it in config.php in nextcloud.

Else, I think your physical data is safe in the nextcloud directory. It is only the database that is corrupted.

Pretty sure you can rebuild your database from the source files but not on top of that yet.

As far as I know, the short answer is - Yes.

Anyone who has access to the share on the unraid box has access to all that is on this share.

But from within nextcloud, users data should be seperated and their should be no access to another users files.

Also in unraid, you can lock the share down. Make it invisible to smb and restrict access. On;y nextcloud can get to it.

Seeking assistance with an issue I've been fighting for several months and several updates of Nextcloud:

 

My Nextcloud container will crash my entire Unraid server ever 1 to 4 days by producing a large number of cron calls that never finish and can't be killed. I've attached a screenshot of the zombie nextcloud cron jobs; sometimes this will grow to hundreds long. This appears to happen randomly; independent of server load or any other factors I can tell.

 

When this happens I can't stop (or kill) the Nextcloud container. Nextcloud is completely unresponsive and some basic Unraid fucntions/shares will fail. The only way to get the system functioning again is to disable Docker and then reboot Unraid.

 

Currently running Nextcloud 24.0.3 but the issue was present in past versions (22, 23). 

Container is up to date linuxserver/nextcloud:24.0.3

Unraid 6.10.3

Can you post cron file it’s referencing? Is their some incorrect syntax in it or something? 
 

Potentially make a new cron.php file and make sure permissions are right? I’d backup old one but don’t think any install specific info is in the file but not positive.

cron.php 6.11 kB · 0 downloads

Both my instances of cron file show as this FWIW. I’d just shut down NC, rename old cron.php. Make a new one, then set permissions as:

 

 

then start NC Back and see what happens. Keep old file. I don’t think anything install specific is in it but I’m known to be wrong.. a lot.

Followed Spaceinvaderone's tut. Have had nextcloud/swag/mariadb up and working for several weeks, but it always seems to break when i have not changed anything. I have reset up twice now. This second time it has been working, but the server recently stop responding.. Looks like Mariadb might be the problem:

HELP? I've tried the "skip-name-resolve" trick in the /etc/my.cnf file but unraid won't let me edit those files, not sure how to do it.
