Configuring Nextcloud
Now that we have the domain name pointing to the public ip address of the nextcloud server, we can setup the https certificate using let'sencrypt, just
ssh into your server once more and run the following commands:
su -
nextcloud.enable-https lets-encrypt
nextcloud.occ config:system:set trusted_domains 1 --value=yourdomain.duckdns.org
And once that's done, you can access your nextcloud instance from a free domain, which uses a free HTTPS certificate ! at https://yourdomain.duckdns.org/
If you installed this nextcloud server locally and behind a reverse nginx proxy, then you would need to allow the domain to be accessed:
root@cloud:/var/snap/nextcloud/common/nextcloud/data# PATH=$PATH:/snap/bin/
root@cloud:/var/snap/nextcloud/common/nextcloud/data# which nextcloud.occ
/snap/bin//nextcloud.occ
root@cloud:/var/snap/nextcloud/common/nextcloud/data# nextcloud.occ config:system:set overwritehost --value="cloud.nihilism.network"
System config value overwritehost set to string cloud.nihilism.network
root@cloud:~# nextcloud.occ config:system:set overwriteprotocol --value="https"
System config value overwriteprotocol set to string https
In order to upgrade your nextcloud, you can run the following, and also add it to cron to run automatically every day at midnight:
root@cloud:~# sudo snap refresh nextcloud
snap "nextcloud" has no updates available
root@cloud:~# crontab -e
[...]
0 0 * * * /usr/bin/snap refresh nextcloud

By default the nextcloud instance does not allow uploading large files, so to fix that you can do the following (as stated here
root@cloud:~# snap set nextcloud php.post-max-size=20G
#and if you put your nextcloud behind a nginx reverse proxy, you will need the "client_max_body_size 20G;" line in the nginx config.
