I have searched some more and came up with a rather brilliant idea.
Instead of doing everything manually i can use an existing app's environement to set up nextcloud.
if you grab the 9.1.0 version package of owncloud from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ie9pwk1wut72ias/p6_X2QeOIC
and install it. you have everything needed to run owncloud and nextcloud.
Just set up owncloud with password and everything.
Then you have this nice migration guide i have found here https://nextcloud.com/migration/
just follow these steps:
The steps are as follows:
- 1. Enable Maintenance Mode with the command line tool
- 2. Backup existing configuration and database(just copy the config folder)
- 3. Delete the ownCloud code and extract the Nextcloud code
- 4. Copy back the configuration file
- 5. Start the upgrade process
- 6. Disable Maintenance Mode
if you dont feel familiar with step 1. you can do the same with this:
You may also put your server into this mode by editing config/config.php.
Change"maintenance" => false to "maintenance" => true
afterwards, reverse it in step 6.
owncloud 9.1.0 is seamless compatible with nextcloud 10.0.3 wich you can find here:
https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-10.0.3.zip
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.

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.
Thanks again for your post........
