I’m gonna need more than two boxes…

I was about to ask why this is better than the docker installation, but I see step one is to install docker haha.

I’ve been running the docker container for a long time, it works very well. It is a bit more complicated if you try and use extensions that require seperatw containers (like setting up collabora), but that can be done as well. It’s just more complicated.

I do remember needing to know how to access the internal terminal a few times, but I don’t remember why. If I think of it I’ll come back and add instructions.

Edit: It’s to be able to run occ commands:

Sudo docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-app php occ “Command goes here”

Sudo docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-app php occ files:scan --all

I’m not sure if this is helpful to you or not, because it’s not what you asked. I just don’t mount them on boot though.

I have a script that requires a unique password that decrypts everything that I actually care about. If that hasn’t been run, then the server starts emailing me every 15 minutes until I do.

The server is not setup to reboot unless I manually tell it to or there is a power outage, so logging in to run the script has never really been an issue. At most, I’ve had to SSH in from my phone maybe a handful of times.

Ubuntu has ZFS on root as one of the options in the normal graphical installer. I have it running on multiple machines.

It’s not, look at postgres under both DB in the last picture. That’s not just the same writing, it’s identical.
