      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.

      All of my production Nextcloud systems are on Hyper-V. Half are CentOS 7 because they have been around for years now. Long before I got comfortable with Fedora.

        Honestly, either is just fine. We use KVM most of the time, but Hyper-V often, too. We are doing all our new deployments in KVM. It's just easier all around. The gap in ease of use between Hyper-V and KVM being so big. No special expertise needed for KVM. Just use the native web GUI for management and away you go. And simple SSH access for CLI should you desire that.

          @jaredbusch Everytime I set up NC, I always "default" to a 3Tb VM but never use that much space. Don't know why or how I started that.

            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. 🙂

                      MS only... till they go to Nextcloud. Not all MS anymore 😉

                        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.

                            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.
