How do I best deal with lots of Errors and Warnings after setting up Turnkey-Nextcloud? (lemm.ee)

I'm new to selfhosting, I've installed Turnkey nextcloud on my proxmox server, and done the basic setup, now I'm faced with this.

Any advice?

Turnkey images are usually built on popsicle sticks and chewing gum; they use old packages, their configs are often really janky and they do not like being updated.

I'm not kidding you, you'd be better off building nextcloud in a generic debian container.

As for the errors, as others have mentioned these are more or less easily fixed one at a time.

Thanks this is the kind of stuff I like to hear.

Yea I'm going to start over with Nextcloud AIO on a LXC.

You could read the documentation that each link points to, you might need to have console or SSH access to the server

One at a time?

[–] massacre@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I came to say this. And not flippantly. Each one of these takes a dive into the documentation to resolve. Sometimes they are related and you can solve some issues with one change, but each one is a challenge to be solved.

OP, focus on Security first, Errors second, and warnings third. Often the warnings are not a huge deal to having an operational nextcloud, but might impact performance or excessive logging for example.

[–] drperil@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Yep, exactly this.

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 5 points 3 days ago

This is the way

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Your link is malformatted btw 😉

Are you going to use Nextcloud Talk? Disable it if not, and see how much of the repeating errors clear up.

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I fixed the link.

I disabled talk for now, I still get the same amount of warnings.

Then just go through each error, select the first part of that error, and search it up. It should lead you to fixes.

Seems like you just need to run some updates to fix a few of them.

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

As others have said. The errors are easily fixed and documented if annoying. Some will require console access but are usually pretty safe.

I do not know any Turnkey, so perhaps they have some specific documentation about what to do after installing.

The first time I installed Nextcloud, I did it on bare metal in Debian, following the LearnLinuxTV guide. It went through things like how to configure the Opcache, which is one of the warnings you have. If you're not following a guide, you'll have to find one, or search each message individually and research a solution.

Eventually I decided to reinstall with NextcloudPi because they know a lot more about systems administration than me, and had sane defaults set for most things. My first installation had some bugs that were probably from default configurations or mistakes I made perhaps. But I've had a good experience with ncp.

One last thing you'll learn while researching the messages: some may be from bugs in the software that will be solved over time with nextcloud updates. Some will have clear solutions. Some may be generalized messages arising from network instability (like if Nextcloud is trying to sync over a weak Wi-Fi signal sometimes) or a hardware problem that can be tricky to track down, but might not be important. Just make sure you are doing good backups and you'll be fine.

Thank you, this is a solid answer.

I was hoping to find some kind of guide or at least reassurance that I'm going down the right path. It looks like it

Tear down nextcloud and use discrete services instead of a shitty monolith

[–] TBi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I need to sync pictures from iPhone to server. What should I use?

[–] Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Immich and photoprism are the two big players, immich is the better of the two IMO. At least for android. I assume it works the same on iPhone.

[–] jrubal1462@mander.xyz 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I use immich but if there are 100 people in this room, at least 99 of them know more than me so definitely don't weigh my words too heavily.

Some of them can be fixed, though you don't necessarily need to do all of them. Easiest thing is ignoring them as long as everything works.
