Nextcloud replacing OneDrive

@brandon220 said in Nextcloud replacing OneDrive:
Backups will most likely be on a Synology nas. My biggest dilemma now is to use KVM or Hyper-V. I have tons of Fedora VMs on HV 2016 with ZERO issues but in the back of my mind I'm thinking of a Fedora KVM host and Fedora guests for NC and Nginx proxy.
Hyper-V is perfectly fine running Fedora workloads. Why change when there is no business or technical reason to do so?

Might be a brand new customer deployment, so "change" might be not what we normally think of it being. If this customer has other Hyper-V that they are sticking with, yeah, I'd stick with it.

@jaredbusch Good to know. They are a MS only business so I will probably stick with HV. I have set up KVM on Fedora and use virt-manager on a Fedora desktop to manage but never Cockpit for management.

I have that at home and a potential client that will move to RHEL 7 with KVM.

@travisdh1 I was 99% sure that I was going with HV but I like reassurance.

This is how I'm currently backing up my Nextcloud.
At work, on my Hyper-V host, I'm using Altaro to backup the VM.
At home, on my KVM host, I'm only backing the data and database.Backup

NC's own instructions work pretty well, last that I knew.

We use Fedora 28 for our installs. Works great.

Is your install guide still the same, no changes? I think your's was a SaltStack guide?
JB also had a guide.Let me go search for them.

I have used @JaredBusch guide many times with great success since switching from Ubuntu to Fedora.
-
The guide using salt stack (it has been a while) didn't work for me with multiple tries. Could not create new folders within NC.

That's weird. We've used it several times, no issues.

This is why I never post that type of guides. There are too many little things that can be different that cause a "scripted guide" to fail.

I think that the guide specified a starting point, though. In theory, shouldn't be any variance.

I don't disagree with you on that.

Hmmm, sounds like one of those "MS messed up" scenarios we were discussing in the backup thread(s).

Yes, but it's also a "it didn't lose them their data" because they had local copies, scenarios we were also discussing. So a good example of both.

Actually it sounded like MS found them and put them back.
Local copies would also have been removed if they were "deleted" at the MS side.
