Nextcloud- Hyper-v?
-
New to this: Wondering if I could run an instance of Nextcloud in hyper-v on Windows 10? What is best practice for Next Cloud? What do you all recommend? I gave up on Oracle VirtualBox a long time ago, because it never worked correctly for me. What do you recommend for VM's? if not Hyper-v?
Is there a thread on this already? I looked but could not find one.I know some of you are laughing right now: however I am Just trying to figure out how I should go about my last thread: Mobile Backup where @aaronstuder along with @scottalanmiller and @NerdyDad suggested I use Next Cloud for Backing up my data for mobile devices. (personal use, But would be good expierence-no?)
Is it possible?
what steps do you suggest? -
Hyper-V is a perfectly fine Hypervisor, but so is Citrix XenServer as well as KVM as well as XCP-ng.
I wouldn't install Nextcloud on Windows 10 though, definitely on Fedora or CentOS.

so download fedora or CentOS to a Hypervisor and download NextCloud there?

Well you can, and that would be perfectly fine if you want to use KVM as your hypervisor.
Simply download Fedora Server, install it on your hardware and install the KVM setup. From there you'd create a VM on top of it once the system is running.
-
That VM is where you would install Nextcloud into.

Nope, not gonna do that. You've been around here how long?!

Well.. Fair enough..

So you need to start with your hypervisor first. KVM is completely free and open source. You can use Fedora/CentOS/Ubuntu to install this role onto your server. Once your server is setup (if you opt'd to use Fedora) you'd get Cockpit, which would allow you to manage the server and the VM's without ever having to touch the physical system.
It's the business approach here and it works well. (remote administration)
Don't rush, and come back and ask questions if you need guidance.
-
Once your hypervisor is running (should only take a few minutes) you would then be able to create VM's on top of it. Allocate RAM, CPU, Disks, GPUs (if you had them), configure the network etc.
To do that, you need to download (or move) your ISO of choice (likely Fedora) to be able to boot your VM from it.
Once you're able to boot the media, you install it, and setup your Nextcloud server as a guest on your KVM (fedora) hypervisor.

Ignore all the follow up posts because I updated the main post with everything as issues were posted.

If you want a clean URL like http://nc.daerma.com, then follow this post after your install is up and working.

Right, but the CentOS guides are older versions of Nextcloud and I believe we are basically focusing on Fedora for the foreseeable future. Doesn't take long to delete a VM and install Fedora. It's like 10 minutes if you include the update process.
