minus-squarepinknoise@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-23 years agoAs already said, running it on windows is a) not a good idea and b) unnecessarily difficult. Hosted Linux servers are way cheaper anyways. You might want to specify what you want to do with your nextcloud instance, because server load can vary dramatically depending on use case. Easiest install is via snap, they have everything you may need builtin, just read their wiki. You need to: Connect to your server vie ssh (your hosting provider should supply you with the credentials) install snap and then the nextcloud-snap reach the setup page via ssh port forwarding after the setup open the http and https ports in the firewall maybe setup letsencrypt Then you’re done, snap should even do automatic updates for you. You can also find nextcloud hosting, but that will be more expensive and you probably have to pay per user :/
minus-squarepoVoq@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 years ago You can also find nextcloud hosting, but that will be more expensive and you probably have to pay per user :/ Not necessarily, Hetzner for example offers hosted Nextcloud relatively cheaply and you can manage most of it yourself: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share
minus-squarepinknoise@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-23 years agoNice, but it’s only for storage so no installing apps? Using nextcloud for storage only is a bit overkill imo.
minus-squarepoVoq@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-23 years agoNot 100% sure, but I think it comes with a reduced selection of apps.
minus-squareRandoom@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoThank you. I think I have videos based on this snap thing.
minus-squarepinknoise@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-23 years agoI suggest you try it first in a virtual machine. (The letsencrypt part won’t work then) Look at what linux distribution your hosting provider uses, so you will be familiar with everything.
