@scottalanmiller Yeah, thin provisioning makes sense for something like this for sure

@scottalanmiller Yeah, thin provisioning makes sense for something like this for sure

For almost everything thin provisioning makes sense. I'm sure there is an exception to the rule but I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Databases?

That would generally be it. HOWEVER, I normally put my DB on thin provisioning and have a separate, dedicated storage just for the data (DB files) which is thick provisioned.

Or if on Scale, the main storage gets a low HEAT score and the dedicated DB files gets set to 11.

It depends on how much your database grows. Then provisioning is still just fine if the database size is fairly stable

Before you can request your SSL certificate, you have to have a valid configuration file in place listening on port 80.
Nginx stores the configuration files in /etc/nginx/conf.d/, so let's make our nextcloud.conf.
I am not going to go aver all the pieces here. If you want ot know more about what all these settings mean, go look them up.
Finally, this is a sample base don Nextcloud. Change it to fit your application needs.
The structure may look strange at first, but there is a method to my madness. It is based on how certbot --nginx works.

You've got the same thing in both the server { and location / { sections. If that's not a copy/paste error, remove them from the server { section.

Donahue

I figured out that step. Somehow it only pasted some of the arguments in there. I am still waiting on the DNS A record before I can move on

Why do you need an A record?

I need an external DNS record. Certbot failed because it said it needed an A record.

I've got to wait for my DNS provider to put in the record for me, which I am told will be done "sometime today". We will see, but I kinda doubt it.

How long would it take to move to a good DNS provider?

Rhetorical question, answer is "about two hours."

The problem is that his entire domain is apparently outsource and not in theri control. Or this would be trivial.

And then 24 hours for replication

Donahue

So far, all of that external stuff has been under the "marketing" department, and I have no part of it. It also predates me at this company, probably by a decade. The marketing lady can be a PITA sometimes, so I don't want to step into that fire until I actually have to.

It's cutting off the outsourcing that I'm trying to fix
