# Installation Guide

## Userdata Dataset

This is the optional location your Nextcloud userdata will be located

> You do NOT need to create a userdata dataset if you do not plan on using one. Nextcloud does not require one, instead you can rely on the PVC default

:::note

The `apps`:`apps` user:group is built into Truenas SCALE, it is the default user for most applications on Truenas SCALE. You do not have to create a separate user for each application. www-data is also included with TrueNAS SCALE by default with user/group ID `33`

When configuring your application you'll typically see user:group `568`, this is the UID for `apps` and its recommended not to change it.

:::

- You are **REQUIRED** to use the `www-data` group and setting the permissions exactly, If you have anything different, chances are it will not work
- ACL's are known to cause problems with the Nextcloud `Userdata` folder, we advice you not to use them.
- Below is an example on how the permissions window should like like when done with your userdata dataset. If it looks totally different, you're most likely using ACL's

## App Setup

For this application We used the `Nextcloud` provided by [TrueCharts](https://truecharts.org/manual/Quick-Start%20Guides/01-Adding-TrueCharts/).

- Available under the `stable` train

### Container

**Application Name**

```text
nextcloud
```

Name it whatever you want, We stick with the chart name for now

**NEXTCLOUD_ADMIN_USER (First Install Only)**

```text
USERNAME
```

> This is up to you

<br />

**NEXTCLOUD_ADMIN_PASSWORD (First Install Only)**

```text
PASSWORD
```

> This is up to you

<br />
<br />

### Storage

> This is an optional step, if you did not create a separate dataset, you can skip this

1. Ensure you are under `UserData Storage`
2. `Type of Storage` should be `Hostpath (simple)`
3. `Hostpath` should be the path to the dataset you created

### Ingress

> While it technically might be possible to run Nextcloud without Ingress, We only offer support for people using ingress. Running it without adds complications and is not in accordance with the Nextcloud Deployment guidelines

<br />

1. Configure Hosts > Add
2. Configure Paths > Add
3. Type your hostname under `HostName`

![!Container: Ingres](images/ingress1.png)

<br />

1. Configure TLS-Settings > Add
2. Configure Certificate Hosts > Add
3. Type your hostname under `HostName`
4. Select your correct cert

> We do not add any middlewares, since Nextcloud has its own authentication, and adding middlewares breaks phone backups, since it has no way to authenticate through Authelia
