Hi, im really new to this. With that said in using the guide i hit a snag. when doing pkg install nano wget sudo i get this.
[root@freenas11 ~]# pkg install nano wget sudo
Updating local repository catalogue...
pkg: Repository local load error: access repo file(/var/db/pkg/repo-local.sqlite
) failed: No such file or directory
pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/meta.txz: No such file or directory
repository local has no meta file, using default settings
pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/packagesite.txz: No such file or directory
Unable to update repository local
Error updating repositories!

And apache 2.4 will not install. Im using freenas 11 non beta not on a vm. any thoughts?

 

[danb35]

any thoughts?

Yes, you should be running those commands inside the jail, not at the FreeNAS shell prompt.

heh noobie mistake thanks
okay new problem.

you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,

Enter current password for root (enter for none):

Just to be sure, did you start the mysql server with this command?

Code:

I got to the step of downloading nextcloud and adding the domain information, but I don't see nextcloud installed. I just signed up for a domain through google domains, and I'm assuming I need to setup something in FreeNAS or my network to relate my domain to those components? When I navigate to my jail IP after those steps it still says "It Works".

I also haven't forwarded any ports to my nextcloud jail. I'm assuming this is another prerequisite?

 

[keboose]

When I navigate to my jail IP after those steps it still says "It Works".

That means that Apache is likely not set up correctly. Make sure you created the 'yourdomain.com' file in the /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes directory. The file can have any name, really, just as long as you replace the examples of 'YOURSITE.com' with your actual domain, and the directory /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/ is where you extracted the Nextcloud archive.

As for your domain, that is a bit more involved. You will have to get the public IP address of your Freenas computer, then point your domain to that address in the Google control panel. If your server is on your home network, you will also have to forward ports 80 and 443 (if you intend to set up HTTPS) to your jail IP enable access from outside your home network. Be warned that some ISP's block port 80 on residential connections, more or less to discourage us from doing exactly what we're doing here.

Thanks for the help. I do have my domain file and the domain.conf file. Still getting error. Would it be advisable to remove those files and re-create?

and the directory /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/ is where you extracted the Nextcloud archive.

I understand thats where the files were extracted, but why is the plugin not showing up in FreeNAS GUI? Is there another step I need to do for it to actually install?

I got my public IP for freenas and applied to my registered hosts in the Google control panel. I forwarded ports on my router. Do I need to do something in my modem settings as well/instead?

 

[retoucher]

I am on the 13.0.6 in iocage jail. Would like to update to 14.0.0, but internal updater shows 13.0.6 as the latest. Is manual installation required?

 

[keboose]

I understand thats where the files were extracted, but why is the plugin not showing up in FreeNAS GUI?

As far as I'm aware (I never checked mine,) there is no plugin that will appear in the FreeNas GUI. That is reserved for software installed via the plugins tab. Once you are able to access the nextcloud page by visiting your jail's IP, you will be prompted to completed the setup there.

I do have my domain file and the domain.conf file. Still getting error.

Are you saying there are two files in the /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes directory? There should be only one, with the data mentioned in the guide.

I'm afraid I can't help you any more with your network setup, I have never used the Google DNS service before. As long as you have an A-record set up to point the domain to your public IP, and forward ports 80 and 443 on your local router to your jail, you should be fine. I would also absolutely make sure to set up HTTPS after getting the software going.

So, Im getting following error "/usr/local/bin/mysql: Undefined symbol "fdatasync" if I hit enter for none:

I've tried installing nextcloud on freenas a couple of times. The first couple I realized that I made some errors on while going through the tutorial. This past time I'm fairly certain that I didn't make any errors along the way however I'm not able to access next cloud after preparing the secure portion of next cloud. This is the text that is displayed by entering the local ip of the jail as well as fqdn:

thanks to this guide/previous sources, I am using Nextcloud 15 under jail @ Freenas 11.2 :) Nextcloud suggests to install "imagick". Anyone know how to do it? My php is 7.1, but could not find a guide on the net. Thank you.
just found the solution:

Code:

pkg install php71-pecl-imagick

from https://www.freshports.org/graphics/pecl-imagick

 

[Rolasss]

Hi Guys,

Thanks everyone for this guide. I was able to get my nextcloud instance running, but only as http://cloud.mysite.com/nextcloud
Any idea how to get this running at http://cloud.mysite.com ?

Check the Nextcloud log file not the apache log file; my bet is that you haven't configured Redis properly. from memory it should be in /var/log/nextcloud/nextcloud.log, or something similar

 

[geekmiki]

nextcloud.log is in /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/data (nothing in /var/log/) and the log is empty, so no clues to get there.
I've just followed the guide on the first page, so if Redis is not configured properly, something is missing in the guide. The redis.log doesn't report any errors.

 

[tamilmad]

Thanks for the guide. I used the same and installed nextcloud 15.0.5 without any problems including https access. Thanks once again. But a litle bit of juggling of the steps are needed specially for https access. For example the steps of certbot and certificate generation has to be done before the Virtual host 443 configuration.

Also I had errors in configuring redis cache (this step
su -m www -c 'php /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/occ config:system:set redis host --value="/tmp/redis.sock"')
So I am using APCu cache and not redis cache. I do not know the effect of the same but the nextcloud is running fine.

I also faced this error. In my case this error was due to errors while configuring redis cache. So I have let the cache in config.php as APUc only and restarted Apache24 and I was able to access Nextcloud
