The latest release of NextCloudPi is out!
Work has been focused on improving user experience during the first setup, and bringing more power to the docker container and ncp-web. Also there is some news!
NextCloudPlus improves everyday thanks to your feedback. Please report any problems here. Also, you can discuss anything in the forums.
Last but not least, please download through bitorrent and share it for a while to help keep hosting costs down.
NextCloudPlus
While originally NCP was only oriented towards running Nextcloud in the Raspberry Pi, it has since extended its scope to include all kinds of boards and architectures. We keep running into people online under the impression that we can’t enjoy ncp-web and the rest in an x86 server or an Odroid HC2, just because of the name.
So we decided for NextCloudPlus: we are still NCP and well, it’s Nextcloud with a plus 😉
New web
It was getting confusing to have the information scattered throughout the blog and the wiki, so a single landing page with a simple design has been created, nextcloudplus.com
No more default passwords
The initial setup process have been improved to make it lazy proof. There are no default passwords anymore, and less steps to follow.
If we navigate to nextcloudplus.local, we will be greeted with an activation page
We can now copy the credentials, or print this page and click the activation button. Our instance will be initialized with these random passwords, and we will be redirected to the first run wizard.
ncp-web
The web panel has received a polish, and a number of new features.
Dashboard
An informative landing page that presents an overview of the system, and some configuration advice.
Nextcloud configuration
An easy way to inspect config.php
Language bar
The language bar has been made more visible
Docker container
The docker container has received a well needed push to make it on par with the SD card version. All remaining ncp-apps have been ported to the docker version, plus we now have in-container upgrades just like the SD card version.
Just set nc-autoupdate-ncp and the container will receive all improvements and fixes just like all other NCP users.
Also, it is now supported to specify any custom external folder to use as a volume, so we can have our data and database in any folder of your choice. For instance, in order to save our files to /media/USBdrive/ncdata, just pass the folder as a volume argument
docker run -d -p 4443:4443 -p 443:443 -p 80:80 -v /media/USBdrive/ncdata:/data --name nextcloudpi ownyourbits/nextcloudplus-x86 $DOMAIN
New languages
Spanish has been added to ncp-web, and Chinese is also in the oven
Thanks Nacho Parker. You do some GREAT work!
welcome 🙂
Amazing work! Thanks a million!
Hi first sorry for sending this to the wron place –
I have some trouble with nextcloudplus-armhf (same with nextcloudpi) on my raspberry 3 model B on raspbian stretch (headless and with desktop).i followed the setup provided from ownyourbits but the setup fails every time.
i tried it with clean installation but same problem.
the docker log says:
[edited]
I am able to acces the activate page of ncp which implies docker setup works and some parts of setup.
Do you have an idea, or advise for me?
Thanks in advance
Hi, please ask for help in the forums
Happy Birthday, NextCloudPlus!!!
thanks! ;D
Hi! Just read about the name change to ‘Plus’. Very fitting. I’m trying to find social media for OwnYourBits and NachoParker, but coming up with nothing. I would like to include mentions on Twitter, Mastodon and Diaspora.
Great job!
Hi! thanks!
What do you mean social media? I have the blog, which people can suscribe through RSS but don’t have twitter or anything like that. Well, we have a Telegram group, https://t.me/NextCloudPi
Hi all,
I want download the previous version (Nextcloudpi), have you a link ?
Where can we download old releases ?
Sorry, but old releases are not available. They are outdated and potentially insecure. Why would you want them?
I installed nextcloudpi with an icy box external hard disk and it works perfectly.
With Nextcloudplus, I have an error and the hard disk doesn’t work.
With the same hardware and nextcloudpi it works fine. And if I do the update it works, so I would install nextcloupi with my external hard disk and then update to nextcloudplus.
That is probably a hardware issue because nothing has changed between the last two images regarding mounting. In any case, it would be better to open a conversation in the forums and try to see what’s going on.
Hello
I installed nextcloudplus and I have got some problems to get the ez server monitoring system on my browser. From the http://192.168.x.x/ezservermonitoring/ i showed see the memory, cpu etc and that open the nextcloud.
I have added the virtualhost but nothing happened
Any idea ?
Regards
Hi, please use the forums for support
Hi,
such a great work, thank you for the image, your tools and the good instruction. But I have one question, perhaps you can help me.
I have installed NextCloudPlus on a raspberry pi 3, the data are on a usb-device. I migrated the database there, too.
But in a few days my new Rock64 will still be there, so I have to move the system.
What are the right steps to do the migration? And without lost of my database and the data on the usb-device.
Can you give me a hint about the steps?
Best regards
David
hi,
that’s easy, but the place to ask is in the forums
cheers
Hey, thanks again. NCP was really awesome for my pi3, for which I am very grateful. Now I also have an odroid H2 and can’t find an arm64 container.
I want to install ncp on my OMV 4 via docker plugin is this possible? If there are no arm64 containers yet, how long do you think it could take?
Thank you very much and keep up the good work!
hello!
Better discuss these things in the forums 😉
all right, one simple question please, only yes or no?^^ Can i use your nextcloudplus-armhf docker on our hc1/2 with omv-docker plugin?
I don’t see why not, but I haven’t tried
What do you guys use to run NCP on a Pi? Isn’t there a limitation for SATA-over-USB due to Ethernet using the same bus or something like that, limiting transfer speeds to 40MB/s?
Hey NachoParker,
I’m super excited to see NCPi/Plus evolving thanks to contributions from so many dedicated people. I’ve run into some issues with documentation surrounding the announced change.
Examples:
* The new webpage for NextCloudPlus still has the title of NextCloudPi and image branding is still for NextCloudPi.
* The link ( https://ownyourbits.com/nextcloudpi/#supported_systems ) lists the x86 docker as NextCloudPi, which confuses users like me about what command to run to obtain the latest release.
* That same Docker x86 section provides a link to more instructions ( https://ownyourbits.com/2017/06/08/nextcloudpi-docker-for-raspberry-pi/ ) that were last updated nearly a year ago and the instructions contained there created a lot of confusion for me. I noticed toward the top of that instruction page that it is mentioned they’re outdated and folks are directed to another page ( https://ownyourbits.com/2017/11/15/nextcloudpi-dockers-for-x86-and-arm/ ). There are a few hops there and I got lost.
* There are additional installation instructions provided toward the bottom of nextcloudplus.com that aren’t linked to elsewhere on the page, and they also seem to be for NextCloudPi.
With all the big changes happening, I hope that instructions/tutorials and the main page can be updated soon.
Thanks again
Hi chasl!
Thank you so much for this feedback. Would you mind starting a thread in the forums so we can follow up? it is a better environment for conversation 😉
Thanks
Also the command to install nextcloudplus listed on this page ( https://hub.docker.com/r/ownyourbits/nextcloudplus-x86/ ) reads:
docker run -d -p 4443:4443 -p 443:443 -p 80:80 -v ncdata:/data –name nextcloudpi ownyourbits/nextcloudplus-armhf $DOMAIN
I believe it should say:
docker run -d -p 4443:4443 -p 443:443 -p 80:80 -v ncdata:/data –name nextcloudpi ownyourbits/nextcloudplus-x86
$DOMAIN
Looks like ARM was accidentally referenced there.
uups! fixed thanks!
Hi,
I have installed nextcloudplus on my rasperry pi 3b+. But I have lost my password for the web-panel.
How can I change or reset the username and password?
When I write nc-passwd with the ssh connection, then I get the message: “command not found”
What can I do?
You have to select it from `sudo ncp-config`
Please, use the forums for help
Hello,
how can I use nc-passwd.
When I type in nc-passwd as root, then I get the message “command not found.”
I have installed nextcloudplus and I have lost the password for the admin-webpanel.
look at the response to your other question, and again, please use the forums for support!
I am having issues. I have NextcloudPi running \, I think. I opened the activation page using the ip address of the RPI. I copied the passwords … clicked active but all I get is “NextCloudPi not yet initialized, trying again in a few seconds ..” This has been going now for over 1/2 hour. I attempted again but received the exact same result.
please, use the forums for support, not the blog
(most likely you have a bad power supply/SD card)
thanks!
