How best to run NextCloud on a TrueNAS Scale box?

[victorhooi]

Super-excited to see TrueNAS Scale come together =).

I had actually previously moved our test storage box from FreeNAS 11.3 to Debian, to try it out - but might as well move back to TrueNAS Scale to play around.

Quick question - how would you go about deploying something like NextCloud for data stored in TrueNAS Scale?

Is it likely we'd be able to run NextCloud on the TrueNAS Scale box itself - e.g. via a container or KVM instance, and somehow have it map back to the native datastore on the box?

Yes, it could operate as a VM on KVM or as a container. Withe TrueNAS SCALE today, the VM via KVM is operating well and can be tested.

Docker should be able to use local storage, you should be able to point at a local dataset containing userdata for the Nextcloud docker container too if you prefer a container over a VM...

But both options are already included in the nightlies (although the VM is definately more flashed out atm)
