Nextcloud plugin issue

[SCC]

Hi Guys

I'm new to all this so I've just been following youtube videos. I tried to install nextcloud on a truenas core system but got the following error message

Error: HTTPConnectionPool(host='download.freebsd.org', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /ftp/releases/amd64 (Caused by NewConnectionError('< urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x8244d8790 >: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 8] Name does not resolve'))

I have no idea what it means or what to do next and was hoping someone could help please...

Thanks for the reply dan. Wow. At least it's not just me I guess...

I was hoping to be able to access files stored on my office nas after hours at home, is it possible to do this with truenas core?

is it possible to do this with truenas core?

Sure, just not using a plugin. Some brilliant and totally humble member of the community has written a script for the installation:

Scripted installation of Nextcloud 28 in iocage jail

Status: This script will run with TrueNAS CORE 13. It's possible, but untested, that it will work with FreeNAS 12. Earlier versions are not supported. There are a number of guides on the forum to install Nextcloud, but they all rely on a lot of...
