NextCloud Setup – Azure

In this walk-through we will demonstrate the basic steps used to install NextCloud on Azure.

This walk-through will include:

1) Create the Virtual Machine running Ubuntu

2) Install snap & NextCloud via snap on the Virtual Machine.

3) Configure Static IP with DNS / FQDN.

4) Configure Firewall rules.

5) Configure HTTPS with lets Encrypt

6) Test the the NextCloud instance is accessible.

Commands used:

  1. sudo apt-get update
  2. sudo apt-get install snap
  3. sudo snap install nextcloud
  4. sudo nextcloud.enable-https lets-encrypt

Keep in mind this is only a basic install and will need to be secured using best security practices etc. If enough demand, we might do a future walk through on how to secure your public facing systems. 

The HendGrow site and channel was created to provide how-to guides that empowers the viewer to implement various solutions on their own. Maybe the viewer is looking for a free firewall solution to protect their family or business. Decided to open a store and needs a web or retail Point of Sale (POS) system. Small company that requires a ticketing system to keep track of all the daily tasks. The HendGrow site and channel aims to provide guides and walk-throughs on these and various other topics. The topics are either directly from our subscriber requests or derived from solutions we have implemented, that we believe could add value to the community. It’s our way to give a little back and hopefully help a few people along the way.
