NS8 - Nextcloud Fine Setup 2025

Hello I am very new with NS8,

I am able to up and running fresh installed Nextcloud, but I have a concern with the settings of the preview I tried this one in the docs, but I cannot figure out here in NS8 to apply this one,

Previews configuration — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation

Is there someone encounter this to apply tried this but It’s not applying.

Here the preview is shown:

Maybe it helps to do another file scan?

runagent -m nextcloud1 occ files:scan --all

Hi @mrmarkuz thank you for this, can you share to me the config.php settings of yours, still not showing on my side.

Here’s my config.php to compare:

@mrmarkuz we are so different setup of config.php
may I verify the version you have ?

here is mine … I don’t know what’s going on here …

I also have 1.4.0.

@mrmarkuz I am run out of ideas in here, hehehe , I don’t know what’s the problem,
is that pre configure installation from the software center?

Mine is still like this

Do you use Debian or Rocky? I guess it’s the same issue when using another browser?

I am using Rocky9 , yes I also checked that for some suggested, but still the same., I think there’s is missing one here on my config.php.

so for clarification, you want me to use debian os to install the NS8?

No, I just wanted to ask what you’re using so I can try to reproduce the issue later…

Yes @mrmarkuz to confirm I am using RockyLinux9 hosted in GCP.

also if this version is not stable here, I am open to migrate this one into
Debian so that I can maximize the potential of nextcloud app

Since we are using following apps:
Talk
Calendar
Decks
Photos and File

this following apps really help with our daily needs internal collaborations.

Did you respect the system requirements, especially the fast disks? See also System requirements — NS8 documentation

@mrmarkuz thank you for the heads up but as of now, I am on the trial state,
if ever I’ll implement this one my cost is my concern overtime,

I think performace will not affect much since only nextcloud will be running on the ns8 , only 1 instance.

I am free for suggestion,if this will be success in debian os, I’ll deploy this one for production.

Hi @mrmarkuz did you already try it to RL9?

Yes and it works on Rocky. I also tried using GCP but without success, some error about my account…

Hi @mrmarkuz , I figured just now, this is because I activated the app called “antivirus for files” , I am thinking now how can I apply or what is possible app to be used so that there’s enough security on the nextcloud app.

Hi @mrmarkuz hoping you can help me on this steps also, what is the proper steps on updating the version of the nextcloud ?

Manual update isn’t supported, we need to wait for a new Nextcloud version in NS8 Software Center, see also NS8 Nextcloud update - #7 by transocean

@mrmarkuz I am really new with NS8, so you mean on my Software Center, there will be a push notification if there’s an update with the Nextcloud?
is that will apply automatically after an update?
