About to head out and do some out of the office work.
-
On the way home.
Also thinking about setting up a unms docker thingy and test with two switches I have by my desk ready to deploy to a site at some point -
Finally completed a top level overview of the existing backup structure of the company, with added short-term goals "using current near-zero-budget and existing hardware and software"... with nice easy to read maps.
It's ugly, but improving, and much better than it was
-
Lots of stuff still going directly to tape and that's it.... working on that next.

I learned something very valuable last night - don't let Fedora server partition disks automatically. I set up a Nextcloud instance with a 3Tb disk. Fedora automatically set up the /root as 15Gb and left the rest in Never Never Land. I was going to use Gparted and move the partition but just started over. Sad part is I didn't check it sooner. I already exported and moved to another host. Lesson learned.

It uses LVM by default... so it's super easy to increase that 15GB to whatever you want.... you don't need gparted, you use the built-in LVM commands.

But this is a good thing. You can assign all that unused space somewhere outside of the /var/www/html/nextcloud directory like /data.
Do you need a refresher on using LVM? I bet that space has already been assigned a Volume Group.

It showed the 2.91Tb as a drive if you looked with the parted command in Fedora but if you df-h it just showed / as 15Gb. I got so used to using Ubuntu for everything and have slowly been migrating away to Fedora. I am no expert and will be the first to admit it.

Take a look at
vgdisplay. I'm betting there is a lot of space available that you can use.IE:
lvcreate -l 95%FREE -n "new_lv_name" vgname_from_vgdisplay mkfs.xfs /dev/vg_name_from_vgdisplay/new_lv_name -
lvdisplayDo a
lvextend --help. Lots of options!Same with VG:

I didn't recommend lvextend, just because with Nextcloud I think it's better to separate the system from your data storage. At least makes managing things like backups of the data easier anyway.

You normally should have a dedicated disk for nextcloud data anyway.
-
Yeah, then just do that then.
No reason to reinstall.

Finished a Airtame demo call. It doesn't say on there website, but instead of 30 day free trial, we have a 60 day trial since we are an Educational institution.

@black3dynamite Seems like everyone leaves the data in the default location. I can't recall anyone moving it outside of /var/www/html/nextcloud/data on most things i have read including @JaredBusch guides.

I never write customization into a guide.

I mounted my

Yikes. I still have a cough from a horrible head and chest cold that started on December 19th.

I just can't.... It's too easy.
