I’ve been trying to do nextcloud for a couple months. Like many folks, I dove in, found I needed to run from a domain to do it right, considered a couple hacks, and finally just tabled the idea.

Well, I do have a domain, I’ve just leased a Hertzner server, and I’m still struggling. I guess most of my issues have been in learning their systems, but I’ve completely deleted it twice, wiped it several times, and have just now achieved a working ssl protected website … that I cant login to.

Gonna be at least one more reinstall before I get this right. Wish me luck …

Hrmm. Fixed some install stuff. Still no auth. I didn’t install to a sub-domain. Could that be it … ? Try again.

Got it running. I think my next step is getting a mailserver going. I’m looking at mail-in-a-box.
