Should make a video explaining "when" and "when not to" encrypt your datasets. And the proper steps to make sure you will never bork your system if there is a failure at any point
It worked really well, I had been trying for 8 months to get certified and I couldn't find a tutorial that taught yours. It was the most explanatory.
Man, I’ve just subscribed after this video. I couldn’t figure out the last part (those overwrites?!). Thank you very much!

does the email in the cloudflare process has to match the email associated with the root/admin user ? thank you for responding and making the video

Thank you for a great tutorial. However, I have accidentally deleted my CSR in Truenas and when I recreate it, I just get "external - signature pending". This complicates things as when I click on the "wrench icon" I only get Dns under Domains. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Try recreating from the beginning but choosing a different name for each step. It may just be struggling on old data for some reason.
I have another question :) You have a video on setting up next cloud with collabora but that is not yet tunneled, How do you configure collabora with cloudflare tunnel?
@RandysRandomHobbies
13 күн бұрын
Ohhh fantastic question. I assumed that the collabora access was only needed locally for the Nextcloud server. I’m a few thousand miles away from home this week. I’ll run some tests and see what happens.
Thanks for the tutorial! Any chance you know how to do this with nginx proxy manager handling the certificate instead? I got all my other apps working fine with this approach and would prefer to keep it consistent :(

And you got the collabora “app” installed first? If not I walk through that in one of my other Nextcloud videos. There are a few check boxes you have to make sure are ticked…but I can’t recall off the top of my head here.

@@RandysRandomHobbies Many thanks for your answer. Actually I've done like you, I can access my Nextcloud login page, but when I select 'allow access,' it spins, and I can't get to my Nextcloud profile. It works perfectly when I'm connected to the same network. I don't understand why Nextcloud is blocking me there
If I follow all your settings, can I access my TrueNAS Nextcloud on an external network simply by entering the domain name I purchased from Cloudflare in my browser? Will I need to configure any additional network settings on my home router?

You’ll likely have to add those arguments each time you update, but worst case you can just do a rollback under the app settings. I’m not certain if this will be undated again until the true docker path forward is released. Then that is either going to be chaos or super easy, we’ll have to wait and see.
