Installing NextCloudPi on Fedora CoreOS

NextCloudPi is a ready-to-use image for Raspberry Pi, x86, Odroid, and other single-board computers that come pre-installed with Nextcloud. It offers a variety of features such as automatic updates, backups, and failover support.

Fedora CoreOS is a modern, minimal operating system designed for containers and cloud-native workloads. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing NextCloudPi on Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

To complete this tutorial, you need the following:

  • A computer running Fedora CoreOS latest version
  • Basic knowledge of Linux command line

Step 1: Install prerequisites

First, we need to install some prerequisites before we can begin installing NextCloudPi. Use the following command to install the required dependencies:

sudo rpm-ostree install docker-ce nextcloud-marina

Once installed, start and enable Docker by running:

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

Step 2: Install NextCloudPi

Next, we can install NextCloudPi using the Docker image. Use the following command to download and install the NextCloudPi image:

sudo docker run -d -p 4443:4443 -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
    --name nextcloudpi \
    -v /mnt/data:/data \
    -v /mnt/ncdata:/ncdata \
    ownyourbits/nextcloudpi

This command will download and install the latest version of NextCloudPi on your Fedora CoreOS machine.

  • -d runs the container as a daemon.
  • -p exposes the ports used by NextCloudPi, 4443 for HTTPS, 80 for HTTP, and 443 for WebDAV.
  • --name assigns a unique name to the container to easily manage it in the future.
  • -v maps the local directory /mnt/data to the NextCloud /data directory and /mnt/ncdata to the NextCloud /ncdata directory. This allows you to store your data outside the container.

After running the command, wait for a few minutes to complete the installation process.

Step 3: Set up NextCloudPi

Now that NextCloudPi is installed, navigate to https://<your_fedora_coreos_ip_address>/ to access the NextCloudPi web interface.

You will be prompted to change the default password. After that, you can create your account and set up your NextCloudPi instance.

That's it! You have successfully installed NextCloudPi on Fedora CoreOS. You can now use it to store and access your files securely.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install NextCloudPi on Fedora CoreOS using Docker. This enables you to run your own cloud platform and access your files securely from anywhere. While the process may seem complicated, it is straightforward and easy to follow.
