Getting started with NextCloud? (lemmy.ca)

I've tried NextCloud before and didn't really love it and I'm now happy with a combination of syncthing and LibreOffice. But my wife wants the full google drive, with sheets, docs etc. without the google, and I think NextCloud is my best option for that.

I'm and experienced *nix admin and already have a Linux server running with both VMs and docker containers and also have a working OpenVPN setup for remote access. But I found the NextCloud setup frustrating. We had a discussion about it (here I think) and determined that this was because NextCloud would rather sell their hosted service, so they don't go out of their way to make the self hosted option easy. I get that and don't hold it against them at all.

But, now that I'm wanting to try it again, I'm looking for pointers to guides for setting up self hosted NextCloud. I've searched, but nothing I found seemed like "the one".

@Luckyfriend222 @cenzorrll Is Euro Office ready and officially released now or still in semi-beta state ? Do you know of any simple tutorial to hook it up to an existing nextcloud stack ?

[–] Luckyfriend222@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

IIRC the first release was supposed to be early June. Have not checked. No tutorial yet, maybe I should write one. But you can basically follow ANY OnlyOffice install procedure talking about Docker image, and replace the onlyoffice with euro-office, and it should just work.

https://github.com/Euro-Office/DocumentServer -> Run this to get the server going.

https://github.com/Euro-Office/eurooffice-nextcloud -> Run this to install it into Nextcloud.
