Initial Setup

In this guide, we'll be installing and setting up Nextcloud for the first time. We'll be doing the following:

  1. Installing MariaDB and Nextcloud
  2. Creating an admin account
  3. Connecting MariaDB to Nextcloud

Please make yourself aware of the Ultra.cc Fair Usage Policy. Directly pointing Nextcloud to share your cloud storage will create extreme strain on your slot's disk and could cause a 24 hour ban on accessing your cloud storage. It is your responsibility to ensure usage is within acceptable limits. Ignorance is not an excuse.

Prerequisites

  • Before installing nextcloud, you need to Install MariaDB first.
  • Go to the Installers tab on the UCP and search for mariadb

  • Click install and type your preferred password
    • Make sure this password is unique from your other passwords

  • Once it's installed, go ahead and install Nextcloud.

Creating Your Admin Account

  • Once you installed Nextcloud and click Connect, you'll be taken to Nextcloud's initial setup wizard.
  • First, create your own admin account by putting your preferred credentials
    • Make sure this password is unique from your other passwords

Setting Up Storage and Database

  • Click the storage and database below the field.

  • Then, under configure the database, select MySQL/MariaDB
  • Then enter the details under Database Info on Nextcloud on your UCP.

  • Once that's done click Finish setup. This may take several minutes.
    • If you get Error 504: Bad Gateway error, simply refresh the page
