given all the recent app problems from the past year and owncloud being broken on readynas. I wanted to have some better solution. I am now trying to get nextcloud(owncloud fork) to work using the standard php, mysql and phpmyadmin apps in the readynas appstore. the nextcloud version would be the official stockversion of the nextcloud people. in short, a amp like setup where you have full control over the nextcloud install.
Now i have found bits and pieces here and there but that does not leave me satisfied nor close to a solution. So i am turning to the community and readynas pro's to get practical help that gets me to my goal:
get the php, mysql and phpmyadmin to work together so that i can drop the nextcloud in the webfolder (www?) and set it up.
my setup; readynas 102 with 6.6.0 firmware no futher apps, just the 3 standard mentioned above installed from within the readynas appstore. nextcloud version can be found here: https://nextcloud.com/ this serverdownload is what it is, a bunch of php files...
After you put back the config file in step 4. nextcloud automatically detects the owncloud settings and proposes a upgrade process. just click the button and let it do its thing. voila.
I'm not saying your post seems like a shameless plug to try and get people install an app, I'm just sayin... I don't care if it is one way or the other, but your directions for installing the app are needlessly complicated. The ReadyNAS apps already give you the ability to set up a LAMP environment. Installing PHP and MySQL through the apps gives you version of both tools that will run the majority of applications. Any applications that won't run on this setup would require Apache 2.4. After installing both the backend language and the database, all you have to do is manually install for Debian Jessy, which is much simpler than what you just described.
Amaris, I must say that I really appreciate your post. Though, I have been working with computers and systems for many years I still appreciate detailed instructions. I too want to run NextCloud on my Readynas and have been looking for instructions. Thank you.
My question is, what is the source of the deb file that is posted in the DropBox account above? How can it be verified? Is there an MD5 for it? I'm sorry for my paranoia, but I don't like installing unknown items on my systems.
Newsat11, you feel that the above instructions are too complicated. Would you please post your less complicated instructions to have a fully working installation of NextCloud? If you could please make them detailed enough for a beginner with ReadyNas to follow, I would (and I'm sure others) would really appreciate it. I am sincerely looking for the easiest way to install NextCloud and since you are more experienced I hope you can help. Thank you in advance for taking the time to post......
I am highly intrested in getting Nextcloud running on my Netgear NAS as well. Please any information is much appreciated in getting this to work! I'm not to experinced but would love to see a detailed guide or if someone willing to release an App Package for it I would be very greatful! Thank you for any info!
If anyone is counting - I just want to add my wish to have an entry in the ReadyNAS app llist that installs NextCloud to the ARM processor available apps. I run an RN102 at home and would like to have NextCloud available. The list of apps available for the ReadyNAS is really ;acking. NetGear should have a tem working to add installable apps to their products.
